If you mix the above map with gun control and other social issues then you can basically see our divide.
The US is balkanized. We are at the very least two countries in one. I really think the above map is fairly representative of how things stand.
I could live with that.
The South, Midwest(portions) and the Upper Northwest all band together...the Northeast, Pacific and portions of the Southwest along with Florida form another country?
Yeah I think that could work.
The dirty little secret is that things have changed since the civil war though. The North isn't a manufacturing sector anymore...all it is is a financial hub and "so called cultural center"...it produces the stock market and musicals and laws that the rest of us don't want.
The Pacific is home to movies and a few big cities that seek to copy the Northeast.
In essence, in todays world the fly over part of our country is where its at. Food production, oil and gas production all come from this region.
Ports are available in New Orleans, Houston and North and S. Carolina.
It could work quite easily and the fly over states wouldn't miss a beat. Its time to seriously consider what was once taboo. I am beyond tired of being dictated to. Its time for a nationwide divorce. The liberals don't want us and I don't think the conservatives want them. Time to break this puppy up.
