I think this will be one of the unintended consequences of all the gerrymandering, on both sides.

We're pretty much at the point now where, if you're a Republican in the Northeast, West Coast or Illinois, you have no say in your local and state government and you have no representation at the federal level. If you're a Democrat in the South, Texas, most of the Midwest and most of the Mountain West, it's the same. You have little to no say in your local and state government and have no representation at the federal level.

At some point, people are going to despise living somewhere where they aren't represented. I live in Florida and I think it could be bad, as more disenfranchised conservative New Yorkers move here. Same with Texas, with more disenfranchised conservative Californians moving there. On the other end, a lot of Democrats are probably going to end up leaving the South for the Northeast.

But I feel like the gerrymandering is going to cause a more ideology political division between conservatives and liberals. People are literally going to be living in areas where they are in an echo chamber, and never have to hear the other side for even a second. That will lead to dehumanization of the "other side" and I think eventually balkanization of the United States.

Thoughts? Will more people move to places that are in line with their political beliefs? Will this essentially fracture the United States?
