I sense that the day of reckoning will feature red-America
having to re-engage with blue-America, much like the West
has done in the past with the east, in Germany with the tearing down of the wall, and the collapse of the USSR and west re-absorption of eastern Europe.
I see the exact opposite happening. Red and blue America is like a really bad marriage where the one (blue) spouse is addicted to crack, beats the other spouse weekly, leaves for months at a time, and has given the other spouse a good dose of the clap on a couple of occasions.
You know, a marriage like that is well beyond marital counseling sessions. Its not time to talk about what measures are needed for future reconciliation. Instead it’s time to talk about divorce and the property settlement.
