Not an accurate map. The 1/4 of coastal states touching water would be their own socialist countries. The inland portions of the coastal states would never join with them.

I think Texas would become a leader among the conservative states, and the coastal socialist portions-of-states would be barren wastelands very shortly due to lack of agriculture, manufacturing, etc.

You need to see the county-by-county 2012 electoral map.
