Funny to see all these Non-Spanish commenters that think they know what they're talking about. My wife is from Barcelona. I just spent 2 weeks there. Most Catalonians think the split, and the minority of people seeking it are fucking stupid. They are the Trumpsters of Spain. Truly strange to see most people here supporting the separatists. I don't necessarily agree with Spain's methods of dealing with this but many of you have got it wrong. Like, badly wrong.

If not being Spanish prevents one from having informed opinions, what makes you right?
Since we measuring Spanish penises, I'm half-Spanish myself and I find the characterization of "Trumpists" to be absurd. Yes, they are probably a minority, but so what? As for finding them fucking stupid, that's just politics, especially nowadays. Lots of people find Podemos to be fucking stupid, yet they still got 20%+ of the whole population vote.
In any case, people here are arguing for the principle, not the people. The analogy is not with supporting Trump, it's with defending his right to run at all. Now, the cases are different, but the point stands: defending the right to a referendum is not the same as defending a certain result.
