2020 Dumpster Fire (Enter at your own risk)

Hmmm…    I think reality would eventually trump idealism on the right-wing though.  

If California goes, eventually so too would the NW and NE.  The economic implications would be disastrous for the rest of the country.    

I mean most southern red states are economically dependent on the federal government.

A split from the US, yes.  Them and Alaska.

Maybe they wouldn’t be if they didn’t have that backstop?

Big Sky residents and seasonal homeowners are not happy........

It could be a massive revolution drawing Canada into it.
Military dictators trying to take control of individual peices.
China and Russia would be chopping at the bit to pick up some peices.

Millions of people killed.

I see the countries: West Coast; Northeast to DC; the place in the middle with food and energy. 

I could see the middle going from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. West would probably include Vancouver BC.

So if that’s our future, maybe having a few guns in the garage is a good thing huh?

I could certainly see parts of Canada wanting to realign with the new countries.  They aren't real happy with their centralized government either.

Military dictators will have a tough time with 1/3 of Americans owning guns and significant cultural opposition coming from within the military.

China and Russia would take advantage of the situation to take over much of Asia, the Pacific, and eastern Europe.  Doubt they'd touch the continental US.

This would be very ugly. Revolution would be a nightmare, put these riots to shame.

Would they ever win another election?

The concept started in the 80s with the book Nine Nations of North America, and has been revisited a bunch recently:

Outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota is much more similar to the Dakotas.

I would expand that thought to include the greater 7 county area around Minneapolis and St. Paul, plus Rochester, Duluth, and St. Cloud.  Pretty much any city over 10K.

The word election would be removed from the language.

I’m not so sure. I live in the burbs and have more conservative friends than liberal.

5 minutes of 3-on-3, followed by a shootout.

True.  I have relatives in MT and not happy with CA movement.  They are going to F up the state.

Have the NW and NE survive on wind and solar.
