We aren’t voting our way out of this.
One side in this conflict is ready and willing to see rivers of blood.
But our side isn’t willing to “go there”.
Which is why we are likely to lose.
And if you think we will win, then be aware what “winning” looks like. It will look like ethnic cleansing. Which is ugly as hell.
And again: the other side is ready and willing. They will kill us if they get the chance.
That was a dumb article. He kind of left out the most important part of how to defeat them. Elections won’t work.
So we are left with what? Civil disobedience? Civil War? What? No, we will just defeat them. Ok, sure.
I certainly hope he’s right.
It won’t happen as long as public & private capital keeps gravitating & accumulating in the big urban centers.
If that capital leaves for a better ROI outside the peak urban areas, the people will have to adjust in a more scarce financial environment.
Historically, people usually follow commerce around, so over the next decade, urban centers might stagnate to a certain extent.
Or they may re-industrialize and get a bounce in growth that prevents the stagnation.
I don’t see the country splitting up like during the Civil War anytime soon. However, politically the two sides hate each other enough, so eventually they may “get there.”
i see the cities staying blue
but as for statewide races and the presidential
i think dems like Tulsi are gonna say enough
the hispanics are already trending in that direction
I respect Kurt Schlicter. But I cannot say with him that there won’t be a division of some sort.
I have long thought it will take a single event in which a Red state governor along with the majority of state and county elected officials, and of course with the overwhelming majority of the residents, resists something that the federal government is demanding. Then, another Red state will declare its solidarity, and then others join in. I think of this as a RESISTANCE to federal assault on liberty. Where it goes from there is wholly unpredictable.
This single event could be the FBI coming to arrest the 87 year old prolife woman to take her to federal prison. This could be IRS agents storming an innocent man’s home. It could be an order to not send illegal immigrants out of the state. If the state holds firm against tyranny, what will result? Unknown.

I think we should just start with DC and then move on to California (after warning the conservatives to leave). That is a good start and just might bring the rest of the crazy blue states around to be more livable.
