What? Do you think the governor would not protect important infrastructure? How many leftist/crazies do you think there are in NE? Omaha is 75% white and I'll bet 50% moderate/conservative. Maybe a small percent will have unrest but not the largest parts and the suburbs - certainly not. 1 or 2 days unrest, tops.
It is VERY blue. The odd electoral vote system in Nebraska is set up so the Omaha counties don't flip the state blue in federal elections.
That is my comment about “The rest of the state might strike the match!” For locals, Omaha is not considered “Nebraska”. Warren Buffet and his kind run the town, and while they are very nice people (met him a few times), they are not in any way conservative. There is a constant fight back home to limit the Omaha libs from making Nebraska the next Illinois. Well, that and getting a football team that is fun to cheer for.
And protecting infrastructure is hard to do when a issue 1,000 miles away means your natural gas goes down. Same with power. While the red states are in a much better situation than say, CA (we have to much severe weather to depend on just in time deliveries of food stuffs), the depth of supplies that is produced in one state is very small. The days of having a state or county being self sufficient in most things ended with the rail roads.
Unless you send the 1st Nebraska Calvary on an expedition to support and conquer all lands east of the Continental divide, things will be mess. And if we do that, we will give New York to Virginia.
