[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]States are banding together to overcome the damage that the current administration is doing to the federal system. Might this be the way of the future for the US as a whole and become the beginnings of dividing the US into separate regions with some type of weak  federal oversight?

Old Russian propaganda. This was promoted over a decade ago under the guise of social science from Russia.

Don’t fall for it. Besides it gives Trump the authority to keep the union together by any means necessary. [/quote]
Regardless of who promoted the idea originally, breaking up the US or at least providing regional autonomy makes a lot of sense.  There’s also precedence, for example Quebec/Canada, Catalonia/Spain, Scotland/UK.  Also the voluntary dissolution of Czechoslovakia in the 1990’s.  Honestly it’s the only realistic alternative we have given how hopelessly divided we are along tribal and cultural fault lines.[/quote]
It’s not red vs blue states, it’s cities vs rural areas. How would you divide it up?[/quote]
People always bring this up.  But dividing up the country isn’t supposed to eliminate all political division- just get them to a more manageable, less combustible level.  ALL countries have more conservatives in rural areas, and more progressives in cities. But smaller countries (eg Europe) can accommodate those divisions better.

There would also be some internal migration.  If some farmer in New York  feels so aligned with the South that they wave a Confederate flag and roll coal, they might feel more comfortable moving there.  But that’s already happening anyway.  Political orientation is a primary driver of where Americans move, along with climate, jobs, etc.  [/quote]
