Soon the two party split will be almost totally geographical…red state, blue state, in the Congress and presidential elections.
Reminds me of the realignment in the mid 1850s after the Kansas-Nebraska Act was foisted on an unwilling public by Stephan Douglas so he could build a transcontinental railroad.
That act messed with people’s everyday lives…slavery suddenly became possible through court edict in all states…as Lincoln pointed out.
This healthcare thing messes with people’s lives too…Douglas got his railroad but brought on the Civil War.
We’ll see what happens this time.
