I think many people will be surprised how it would split. Many think it looks like at the time of the civil war back then, as if nothing else has changed. People would reallocate en-masse, way more than has already happened. Blue states will not look the same after that. My point is just that too many people live in a virtual reality that is built on a narrow view of history. At the moment, I think immigration has been the biggest issue by far. When blue states condone it so much, I think the influx of new people amounts to wanting to change the demographics to an extent that looks like leaving the Union. So in my opinion, it is blue states that are in the position that the South was at the time of Lincoln. The Union doesn't include hundreds of thousands of immigrants from all over the world, and in fact that looks more like some other type of imports of peoples that happened back then (that shall not be named).

That seems a bit of a stretch, honestly Are we not a nation of immigrants from the start?

  Have you seen the hoops people with work visas have to jump through just to be able to cross state lines? It's... really not as much of a stretch as you may think.

  I don't think we are, and my parents were immigrants. I say that because other countries just kick people out whenever they want. Other countries safeguard their identities. The U.S. used to have that, which is why my parents had to go through a process in order to acquire their legal status, but now people are advocating for literally anyone arriving here and not bothering with that process, and then we have tens of thousands of foreigners that probably will never acquire this American identity, and perhaps that's what some people want. The identity is the nation, when you break that down, you break down the nation, and that's precisely what we're seeing played out.
