Blue America Needs Red America
The American Mind ^ | 12/01/20 | Michael Anton

The point about the three great examples of the advanced part of a nation subjugating the backward part is insightful and chilling. I do believe that is what Blue America intends for Red.

But Caldwell further says that dynamism does not need tradition in the same way that labor needs capital and vice versa. I suppose the qualification “in the same way” makes that statement true, but Caldwell’s implication seems to be that they don’t need each other at all. Is that really true?

Turn these rotten big metro areas into city states and let them govern themselves.

Trains and ships could deliver food to most major metropolitan area if need be.

There’s a reason most if not all foreign auto makers locate in rural America. Mainly outside of city limits.

If Chiraq, Lost Angeles, San Fran, ATL and NY were hit by asteroids we wouldn’t miss a thing they have.

Blue idiots are too childish and petulant to know or understand they need Red America.

Yes we do.

The markets for goods and services go through blue states.

Freeze them out, and markets will go to other places.

Even the food in most cities is from overseas. McDonalds for instances buys a lot of beef from Australia.

But in the end, team blue needs our resources too. Both will perish without the other.

Red America doesn’t need what Blue America wants to turn America into.

The Founding Fathers armed us with protections against that.
