Imagine how politics would be very different, if portions of states could join wiht other states or form new states.
Many here have dreamed of most of New York forming a separate state from New York City.
Others talk of a new Illinois if Chicago could be dismembered from Illinois.
You’d have elites deliberately causing regions to secede so that they would be more and more over-represented in the Senate.
According to the book, The Sovereign Individual by Rees-Mogg and Davidson, that may very well happen. They predicted the nation states would disintegrate and new (some old) forms of government would be created. One is city-states, which is exactly where the divide is in this country, between the big city voters and the rest of us. It could get interesting.
