  • Balkanization implies a solid geographical split between states, and in terms of the current political and cultural issues, there just isn’t one. Yes there are red states and blue states, but the big cities in red states are extremely blue, and the rural areas in blue states are extremely red; the real divide is between cities and countryside.

    If a second civil war does break out, it won’t be a convenient split like the last one. It’s going to be a lot of fighting within states and cities and suburbs and rural areas, with no clear geographical boundaries.

    (As much as I’d like for the Midwest to be its own country I doubt it’ll happen anytime soon. :) )
