That's true - my point was that the urban/rural divide isn't just limited along the geographic boundary of the Mason Dixon line anymore, as it roughly was during the Civil War period. Now it's spread through the entire country. Even Kalifornia, which taken overall as a state usually votes overwhelmingly liberal, is split between urban and rural counties.. just look at that voting map. |
I guess I should have been less opaque in my analogy, how's this:
"Remember the Civil War? Well there are lot's of the same sentiments *right now* that existed just before the Civil War. Perhaps we should be concerned that the division in our nation might lead to a second Civil War."
