If this is true, what would happen to the West Coast and the North East? I think the starving masses would seek to reunite.
Are the entire areas of the West Coast really like the populated areas (referring to the farm communities in the eastern sides of OR and WA) or are they more like the conservative areas like Idaho, Utah, Nevada. Would it not be more accurate to describe the West Coast liberal zone as Hwy 5 plus 100 miles east and draw the line there? Just because a state turned blue does not mean that the entire geographical area is of a certain mindset.
This topic reminds me of something a guy said a while back:
If 1 out of 5 people are out of place, look around, if the 4 people around you are in place, maybe it is you.
