The political polarization is quite remarkable, much like 1860.
Major difference is the producers, red states against the consumers, blue states. Most modern blue cites don’t produce anything tangible. It is all paper. Soon the producers will tire of supporting the blue city voters.
Material and physical goods are certainly produced by the red states. However, unlike in 1860, we have a large service economy, and here, don’t blue states like NY, CA, MN, WA, IL dominate in finance, e-commerce, communications, and healthcare?
The natural ebb and flow has been destroyed by a new factor and it is a complete game changer. Never before has the cheating been this ubiquities, diverse and able to change the majority outcome. It’s so bad that if Biden ran again he would win despite poll numbers and half a brain unless something is done to mitigate the vote fraud.
