A Soviet defector years ago hypothetically realigned the United States into various regions. The theory was that our Republic will eventually dissolve for many reasons. Most,especially Conservatives,called him a crackpot. If this continues,the Republic will continue to undergo a slow and painful death. States will leave or break apart (or try to) and the country will be even far less structured than the former Confederation. It may just revert back to territories that probably won’t get along with each other with cities as third world sh*t holes and no go zones. Would any of this American rot be conceivable twenty years ago? The writing was on the wall.
As sad as it makes me, I am beginning to think you are correct.
When families can't even talk to each other because one voted Dem (my sister) and the other voted Rep (me), there is a major problem. (btw, I love my sister and would be happy to talk to her. It always seems that it is the left that is angry and bitter).
