The American Left and the Breakup of the USA

Great article here at American Greatness on the American Left. It has one of the best descriptions of the Left and what it wants, and why it is the way it is. Highly recommended. 

The article is cast as a question of secession. A divorce from the crazies. I commented on that with the following:


Ideally, New England should be joined to Canada's Maritime Provinces in their own separate (and very poor!) country. Boston is the natural capital for such a country. Ontario, New York State and PA would be another country. It would probably contain Delaware and Maryland and an "Eastern Virginia" that included DC and its suburbs. NYC would of course be its capital. It, too, would be very poor -- industry has already fled a good portion of it. Southern Michigan, northern Illinois, and northwestern Indiana would be an autonomous "East Prussia" to this "Mid-Atlantic Nation" with its NYC capital. On the Left Coast, bye-bye to most of California and western Washington State and Oregon -- their eastern portions would remain in what survived of the USA, which would have its capital in Nebraska. British Columbia would join them. The Canadian Prairie Provinces would join the rump USA, the states of which would take on a lot of the independence of the Canadian Provincial system. And we'd have to to have very, very (indeed, hyper-) strict laws about who from these Leftist Nations could visit, let alone move to, the remaining USA.

Such a configuration would be a rational distribution of lands and peoples.

Of course, precisely because it would be rational, it would never happen. We have no option but to fight a civil war for the territorial country as it exists and force a "movement of Leftist peoples" out of the country -- if we win. It would be as it was when we expelled the Loyalists after the American Revolution.
