It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking because, as CNN recently noted Red States are building a “nation within a nation” that if push came to shove they would be the ones to start a Second American Civil War.
But this is just silly. It’s for more logical to believe that making a Red State “nation within a nation” is nothing more than a middle step to taking over the entire country by forcing Blue States to “bend a knee” to Trumplandia. And that’s when Blue States face the choice of autocracy or civil war.
And, at the moment, I think all 50 states are going to live under the yoke of Trumplandia. Rather than putting up any sort of fight, or serving divorce papers on Red States and leaving the Union, Blue States will simply shrug. Now, of course, just like in Russia, there might be pretty big protests, but, lulz, the protests don’t really work there and they won’t work here, either.
Republicans are going to get everything they want and then some. Voting will be so ineffectual as to be rendered moot. And that will be that. About a million wealthy, well educated liberals — think typical Crooked Media audience — will leave the country until the autocrat makes it damn near impossible for that to happy anymore.
Form follows function.
I suppose there are any number of ways such hysterical, dystopian “terribly negative” scenarios might be punted down the road, but the macro trends definitely seem to indicate that is not going to be the case.
Or we have a civil war.
And some pretty shocking twists will have to happen for Blues to show the courage to do such a thing. So, get out the country. America is just about on her knees to MAGA tyranny.
