I see a second civil war by 2016, with the red states and blue states calling it quits, just like a divorce.
I would tend to agree — although one very interesting aspect of that will be some of the “blue” states that are really “red” states. I’m thinking of PA or some others. If the country fractures, I know that Philadelphia will want to line up with NYC, Hartford and Boston, etc. Fine. But the rest of PA? Is western PA filled with metrosexual Liberals who hate guns? I don’t think so. PA is a blue state because of Philadelphia. If push comes to shove, states like that will not simply opt to join into some Blue Federation. I don’t know what will happen to the Liberal cities. They cannot survive without the surrounding countryside, and the countryside doesn’t want to be on their team anymore.
