“The map is really funny. Poor Russkie has obviously never heard of the Mason-Dixon line.”
It’s clear he went totally by geography, and didn’t consider the culture. A couple of the most glaring errors would be the break between the northeast and southeast, and a midwest split. No way Montana and Wyoming go with Ohio and Illinois.
IL has a great deal more in common with the NE than IN and OH.
Used to live in MT. It has a lot more in common with most of the midwest than it does with WA and OR. Same for WY.
Our country just doesn’t split up conveniently into nice regional blocks anymore. Which is why all the talk of secession is really silly.
You can have secession when the divide is territorial. Outs isn’t, not anymore.
