> It would be interesting because if five cities in the midwest or South got sick of their state politics' shit, all of a sudden there would be ten new senators from urban areas in the senate. What policy mechanism do believe is used to do this? I don’t think this can happen without the city’s independence movement getting support from lots of other red states that dislike their own cities aligning with the city against the red state government. I don’t see those movements as being within the Overton Window right now.
