If you make it partisan, it could leave your Red America with crumbling schools, no fire or police protection and roads only suited for off-road vehicles.You can have Hollywood, whatever is left of Wall Street, whatever is left of Sin City, whatever is left of Amazon. Google, Facebook/Twitter, a group of banks, a few national channels and their cable affiliates, PBS, NPR, whatever is left of the Democratic party and whatever is left of its base as the rest of the country votes to parts ways and move forward as America. If we continue on the path we are on, we will be living in separate countries within a decade Yes, blue America seems to still have influence over most blue related governments at most levels these days and seems to be hell bent on going down with them. Dude, you're on the side who doesn't value police protection that doesn't care that it has crumbling schools and doesn't care it causes mass fires that require support from neighboring fire departments. You should really start reading your own posts and applying them to yourself and the side that you're on. You're an old Liberal fool who is nearing the end of life who is not thinking of the young Liberal fools who are going to be left behind to pay the consequences for choosing to be on the wrong side of history.
It's hard to make this case to people who see others rising as a personal loss, when it's just the opposite. Impoverished people don't buy things because they can't. The logic is simple, but the visceral reaction makes it impossible to see. Red America has an idea of vast carnage if they can't rule and keep others in their place, and that's only going to change when it's proven wrong in practice and today's naysayers depart the scene.
