That's a liberal term to try to identify this with the civil war, slavery and the RACE CARD. It's a divorce. Conservatives and liberals hate each other, hate each other's ideas and systems of government and we're NOT ever going to agree. Irreconcilable...
Two countries = PUS (Progressive United States) has white liberal 'elites' - their minority pet victim groups (angry entitled blacks who want to defund cops and let criminals out of jail before their victims are out of the hospital, current illegals AND the millions more who want to move into PUS (progressive United States), brown pity-party people and gang members...abortion rights people and all the gun control folks..
CUS (Conservative United States) gets middle class and working class citizens, the one in six black men and their families who voted for Trump (and any other traditional black citizens who want to live in a sane country), the almost 40% of brown people who voted for Trump, and people who BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION AND ALL THE AMENDMENTS. (Yes, that included freedom of speech and freedom to own a gun)
Oh and in PUS (Progressive United States) abortion is legal up to 5 days AFTER the baby is born - in the event the 'parents' change their mind..)
On the eastern side, we'll have the white liberal 'elites' and their poor serfs.
On the western side, we'll have the productive working class.
The question is which side will have the resource to sustain itself. There is a hierarchy to economies. An economy is made up of three major sectors, primary, secondary, and tertiary.
The primary sector is agriculture; a nation has to feed itself. The agriculture sector is made up of wheats and grains, fruits and vegetables, meats, nuts, juices, etc. A nation without an agriculture sector will starve.
The secondary sector is industry; a nation has to be able to make things. This sector is made up of metals and ores, chemicals and materials, refining and manufacturing, intermediate and finished products, etc. A nation has to make things to grow.
The tertiary sector is services; a nation has to maintain itself to sustain. This sector is made up of the trade services (electrical, plumbing, A/C, automotive, etc.), professional services (advertising and marketing, sales, information, tourism, sciences, etc. A nation has to service its industry or it will collapse.
Will the blue states have the resources to feed, grow, and sustain itself without aid from the red states?
