- tayo42 2y agoI don't think it's that simple Blue states just have bigger urban areas. It's an urban rural difference. I don't have the numbers off hand but I wouldn't be surprised if NY would be a red state if you excluded Manhattan and the other boroughs

- Macha 2y agoIt always surprises me when people's mental model of fair say is divided by land area and not by population.
- tayo42 2y agoWe're not talking about fair say, I'm talking about a civil war being unrealistic
- ncallaway 2y agoI don't actually think that would have much impact on how realistic a civil war is. I think that might impact the tactics of the war, or how bloody it is, but I don't think it makes it less possible to happen. It's dangerously possible, and it's a deep concern of mine that we're headed in that direction.
