It's more that people today in red states and blue states had very different values in recent decades, not about college-bound and Nam-bound Boomers still hating each other.

Generalize much? Any thought that enmities in this nation are devided by state boundaries is foolishness. Should the US embark on a CWII, it will more resemble the chaos of places like Sarajevo.

Just because a state is Blue does not mean the majority of the population are really socialist. Voter fraud in these states is Yuge.

Where Dems control the voting process, violations continue to happen. Any effort to clean up the mess is denounced as denying voters the right to vote.

It is strange that every four years there are massive voter drives with long lists of absentee voters that somehow or other never can find their precinct, and hundreds of them have to vote from the same address by absentee ballot.

My point was, boomers have a lot in common with the people they went to high school with whatever happened to them in the 1960s. They don't hate each other in the way the author implied.

I'd agree that geography doesn't account for all the conflicts today, but by and large they're conflicts between people who don't know each other personally. While it's not simply a matter of red states and blue states, people are a lot more likely to hate those on the other side of the country than on the other side of town.

And no, Civil War II isn't coming.
