And so it has begun

Just to take Texas as an example, yes, it is 55-45 red. But that's made up of several large cities that are 65-35 blue and a lot of rural areas that are 80-20 red. Or something like that. I don't see how you have some normal secession/civil war scenario out of that.

You could probably say similar things about California, although it tips deeper blue on the whole than Texas does toward the red, there is still a major division between how the coastal cities tilt versus the inland agricultural areas.

Yeah, I don't see a secession scenario as likely, or a civil war. I would have said impossible a few years ago. I think we keep living in a divided country where we are encouraged to hate each other to distract from our government disfunction/servitude of the rich and powerful. As Sour Masher noted it's much easier to complain and demonize the opponent than it is to actually take action

I guess I incorrectly thought he had moved to Atlanta. Agreed that KS > Ken any day of the week.

Ah, one of my best theories. Don’t remember what thread that was in but it was one of my finer moments, if I may say so myself.

Especially Tuesdays. I'm terrible on Tuesday

I am a remote worker, at least the majority of the time. Which happened to work out well in a global pandemic.

That's gotta be true at least half the time.
