Imagine if the Bolsheviks controlled the East Coast and West Coast, and patriots controlled all of North America in between the coasts. Not too difficult to imagine, is it?
Good one!
Geography and demography give Middle America a military advantage over the northeast and the left-coast. It has the breadbasket of the Midwest, the Mississippi River (the longest navigable river in the world), the industrial heartland, vast reserves of oil, natural gas, and coal, access to the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans, and people who know how to build, farm, hunt, and shoot. I also posit that it would not me a war between the states so much as a war between the rural and industrial areas against the mega city states of Chicago, the Northeast Corridor, and the coastal cities of Southern California. In those cities squat the billionaire class handing out government cheese to the squalid masses.

When I read that, I thought EXACTLY the same. It is scary...and true.
