A civil war doesn’t make sense. The political difference boundaries aren’t at
the state level. In most states, it’s
more rural vs urban, so you have a dense pocket of blue surrounded by a sea of
red. I also don’t think the majority of team
red and team blue are that different in actuality. I think a civil war only makes sense if you
assume that all of members of each team are the crazy stereotypes the internet
tries to convince you are actually popular.
That said, I definitely think that the elites are trying to
split America into smaller, less powerful chunks that don’t have a Bill of
Rights.
i think the red/blue divide is pretty wide already and growing, I am sure it varies on where you are in the country, but rural America is losing its mind over the idiocy in DC and most blue states, I am sure those in the metro areas that vote blue think the same of the rural red states, but if the blue metro parts of the country continue to send the idiots to DC that they have been, that keep the country on the shit slide we are on, I dont see what is going to keep the red parts of the country from drawing some lines in the sand. I think things are likely getting close along the southern border.
I think you are misunderstanding what I’m saying. I’m saying that if you look at
Minnesota. We are a blue metro area and
a red not-metro area. You can’t have a civil
war, where our metro is in one nation which is linked up with Chicago, Seattle,
etc. and other blue areas and our rural area is in another because the blue areas are islands in a sea of red, so how would the islands connect together? Like-wise, I don’t think it makes sense to civil war on the state level, just because we’re “heavy” blue that it means we’re “all” blue. We’re like 52% blue and 45% red. You can’t civil war away the culture divide
when half your own state is the opposite culture.
That said, I do agree with what you said that the Washington
elite seem particularly uninterested in solving the border crisis. The willingness to let illegal immigrants in
while also not having an actual workable legal immigration process for these
people is very suspicious. I would argue
that one of the side effects they are going for with their illegal immigration
policy is civil war, but I think people would have to be very thoughtful in whether
civil war would actually be beneficial for anyone. They haven’t been successful at starting WW3,
but if they can get us to kill each other in a civil war, that would probably
be a good consolidation prize.
