Didn't read all of this, but just for kicks, someone here has to know. Normal red state blue state breakdown. Even giving the blue states the normal upper midwest states.

Where does the military style manufacturing breakdown fall nowadays? If you have to make military stuff, does the north still have a significant lead factory wise?

Honest question, no idea. My guess would be the north would still be able to militarize quicker and more effectively?

This is a ridiculous hypo, but my initial thoughts are that the systemic advantages from the first one may still be in place.

Hmmm.

Just in AL you have:

Remington
Hellfires, etc.
There is seriously all kinds of weapons-grade industry in Huntsville and Anniston. Bring in TX, FL for the airforce, KY and GA for more Armor than you want to imagine, and the midwest and mountain regions for all the nukes, the urbanized areas will be left wanting. America's home turf might is in the interior minus the deployed Navy. Someone above said that it will not be a North/South type deal. They were right.

If you're going red area/blue area versus red state/blue state (since that seems to be more of the split), it's probably pretty evenly split, and parts for the military hardware come from all over (including overseas). American military supply chains are some of the most intricate and complex of any products in the world, so really no one would have any edge.

Military demographics themselves tilt very heavily red, especially at the front lines. Orgs like CIA and State probably tilt slightly blue.
