I’m not in favor of parts of states joining other states, such as the counties in Colorado joining Wyoming because would not a 51st state create two more senate seats, of which would be conservative? Enough states doing this could really upset the balance of power in the Senate, which is exactly why the commies will try to stop it.
I see something on this order happening anyway. The big cities are typically infested with democrat socialists while the country folks just like their freedom. Sooner or later there’s got to be a divide.
I guess there is a positive side to nuclear war.
