America Divided
The division of the United States (again) seems almost unthinkable to me, but apparently is appealing to a surprising number of my fellow Americans.
Oddly, support always seems greatest in those places that take more from the federal government than other states (Alabama, South Carolina etc.) But their problem is often cultural, not economic-- they don't want to be part of the apostates in New York or California with their liberal ways.
Now, of course, some people who don't want to be part of the US are the liberal apostates.
Fortunately, there is no one issue that divides us the way slavery did in the last secession crisis. We are divided politically right now in unfortunate ways, but those division don't cleave to state lines. Texas wants to secede because of "Democrats?" Well, the 46% of Texans who are Democrats might have a word...
