We are all Americans. That said, there have been efforts for years to divide us for perceived political reasons. Those who live in the bigger cities often tend to look down their noses to those who don't. We have become a Blue America and a Red America. I personally believe that the colors are reversed, but maybe that's just me. A good representation of red vs. blue can be seen on the 2020 election map by counties.
It has gotten so bad that there are discussions of secession and even civil war, God forbid. It would be difficult to have states against states. The real conflict appears to be larger cities versus the rest of America.

BLUE would definitely be destroyed if RED arms itself.

The colors ARE reversed! I'm not certain of the exact date, but the media (back when it was mostly the alphabets) used to use red for Democrats and blue for Republicans when they had party - oriented news. Red was much more attention-grabbing. But they did one of these surveys and discovered most of their audiences linked the Democrat Red with Socialism and Communisim and Republican blue with traditional conservatism (blue suits/reliable)
So they switched them. (I think right around when Reagan was in office)
They were trying to cover up the increasingly communist tendencies of their favorites and possibly throw some shade at Republicans.
So now, supposedly, Democrat colors are blue (for blue collar and professionalism) while Republicans are red (blood, don't you know). The only trouble was that Republicans supporters think of the blood of patriots and the blood sweat and tears of the working man.
It just doesn't quite match the alphabet's expectations, but at least they're hiding their communism, right?
... Right?...

All red would have to do its quit sending blue food and fuel. My closest neighbor grows more food on his relatively small 20 acre truck farm than the sum total of food produced in their quaint blue Michelle Obama-inspired, urban food gardens. As professional hypocrites, blue will never give up their own autos, yachts, energy-sucking McMansions, or private jets, but they'll ban your diesel tractors and trucks. We already can see what happens in the cities when the weather turns bad. Imagine a cessation of deliveries to the bodegas, supermarkets, and liquor stores and the urban chaos that is sure to ensue at the first hint of shortages, much less if/when their lights go out.

I agree with all the previous comments. In our Revolutionary War we fought “England’s cruel red” and for years we have opposed Communism’s bloody red. I think we should encourage the Republican Party, the New York Post and the Newsmax network to switch back to Red for the left wing and Blue for the conservative wing.

Blue really thinks all food comes from Gristedes or Pathmark and all fuel comes from Hess or Con Ed.

Yeah, and most city folks who are dumb think that "electricity comes from the outlets".....but the really smart ones know that it comes from those grey metal boxes at the substations.
/s off
Most folks today have no idea at all where food, power, fuel, or anything comes from. Or how they could possibly make some of their own, or fix something important that "got broke" or wore out. Call a plumber for a toilet problem, call an electrician for an electrical problem, call a supermarket for food, and get a mechanic to fix your car.
And most of the plumbers, electricians, folks who put the food in the supermarkets and the mechanics won't come to the big cities if the big city folks succeed in breaking "the system" that they neither understand or can fix.

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

The democrats have no problem if the uninformed uneducated live in a few very crowded democrat city/states, as long as they can manipulate 51-49 election victories. That's all they care about. They don't give a rip about the uninformed and uneducated people, as long as they vote 'D.'

I don’t care about the color reversible because, just as we did with “bitter clingers” and “deplorables”, we have embraced the color red and thrown it back in the left’s faces.

Soon they'll be moving Schlichter's People's Republic book series to the Non-Fiction Section.

I used to think civil war was impossible but now I can see certain states trying to secede again. I don’t know what will happen. Lincoln started a bloody, illegal war to retain the states who simply wanted to be left alone. The South didn’t want control of the federal government. They wanted to go their own way. They did indeed want to retain slavery, admittedly a horrible but dying institution but the North went to war for that oldest of reasons...money. No more tariffs and no warm water ports. Lincoln had the abolitionists screaming in one ear and the northern businessmen screaming in the other. It may happen again.

They were deliberately switched by Tim Russert IIRC during one of the election evenings he covered. He knew then that he could never claim red because he was a liberal commie along with the democrats he supported.

People are leaving blue states and moving to red states. Not the other way around.

Re: "red" vs "blue"
The way I see it, red symbolizes life and full of oxygen. Blue is depleted and in dire need of life. Im fine with being "red."

The color assignments are definitely backwards....intentionally done by the Red Communists to throw off the people. But, no doubt that the top 30 big cities couldn't survive without the "Sea of Red" out there. Read "Indian Country" and the following novels by Kurt Schlichter. Mr. Schlichter insists that they are cautionary tales, intended to help us avoid that dystopia. I wonder if it will be possible to avoid it. Might be better to take these books as food for thought, to help you scope out how you might react if these things do come to pass.
Hope that they don't happen, but plan for that eventuality as a very real possible path for the country.
