It seems like America walked the talk of something that was never true. The battle between middle/rural America and east coast elites was never true, it was always a false narrative that created the politically necessary bisection. Why would rural/middle America be so much at odds with east coasters? It never made sense, and only made sense in the context of red vs blue (I mean literally, red vs blue paintball teams). You needed to create two teams to even play the game. It doesn't make sense to take this narrative seriously and hopefully everyone is realizing that. That would be like east coasters being annoyed that middle America often fills the ranks of our military, it's just a stupid concept through and through.
We have a President that now has his shallow identity tied to the notion of "Promises made, promises kept", which means he's really taking red vs blue paintball teams quite seriously. It is literally paintball, we visit each others states and go to each other's universities.
The MAGA revolution, if it continues, will force the US into a place that the USSR was in before it fell. Plus people here will get to experience an economy far worse than 1930 US.
