re: Hypothetical: If America was split into two countries

We could split off peacefully but the left would actually build a wall very similar to Berlin.

They aren’t doing it to stop the conservatives from coming in but to stop those from leaving their side

Midwest is interesting because Illinois and Minnesota have some whackjob politics but do those states have enough population to run Rustbeltistan politics?

I could see more of an alliance with Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and maybe Michigan (they would try to get the Great Lakes part of Indiana to link the two, but Indiana won't give that up without a fight).

Red should include all of the yellow except Colorado, Missouri, Iowa, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia.

Conservastan would have football. The liberals would ban all forms of toxic masculinity.

A lot of gay pride parades and cabarets.

Its a feminine ideology.

You really think a country with economic powers like California and New York would "produce nothing of value"?

Not for long.

Energy restrictions, price controls, higher taxation, broader welfare, outlawing internal combustion engines, etc.

Leftists won’t admit it, but if they were given carte blanche to pass all of their progressive agenda without the courts or public opinion intervening, it would be an absolute complete disaster and failure.

I know we love the south but it has a pretty major issue lol

Texas would be an independent country unto itself and not part of the old CSA.

That was actually part of a theory that, had the CSA won the Civil War, Texas would have returned to being an independent country.

In the hypothetical situation presented here, we might do so but would have an alliance with the rest of the South.

(Though if Louisiana didn't clean up its corruption, we might take it over. Same if New Mexico starts acting up. And oil won't be the primary reason in either case.)

Rurals vs the Urbanites.

Realistically the lower 48 would split into five countries:

West Coast: California, Western Oregon, Western Washington, Southern Nevada (Las Vegas).

Mountain West: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, Nevada (outside of southern Nevada), Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas.

South: Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida (outside of South Florida and Florida Keys), North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia (outside of NOVA) and West Virginia.

Midwest: Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan

Northeast: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and DC. Also NOVA.

Alaska would either become a part of Canada or become an Independent country, I'm guessing with the lack of overall resources become part of Canada.

Hawaii gets what it thinks it's always wanted and becomes an Independent country again.

South Florida and the Florida Keys, largely being the Cultural capital of Latin America, would split off and become it's own Independent country.

Southern Nevada/Las Vegas is more tied culturally and economically to California than it is the rest of Nevada.

While I could see Kentucky going to the Midwest or even Missouri going to the South, I ultimately think Kentucky goes to the South and Missouri goes to the Midwest. West Virginia and Virginia (outside of NOVA) would definitely join the south as they would have nothing in common with the Northeast.
