Someone on ConPunk asked “Why not just split it into the red states and the blue states? I think at this point, both sides would be happy with that.”
I replied:
The left would never go for it. They need the red states to steal from, since we’re all in better shape financially. We don’t bail out bums as much, and we have more natural resources. Places like Wyoming, Texas, West Virginia and the Dakotas have all the oil and coal, natural gas and uranium. (And much of the wind and sun.)
People in New York and California think they should be administering that stuff from a comfy office, not out drilling for it.
Also, the leftie blue states would be driven mad by the thought that there are people in the next state raising their kids the way they want, carrying guns, going to church and not supporting crack babies. It would drive the lefties even more nuts than they are now.
