The Balkanization of America?

 I have spent time in thought…  

After this Roe v Wade debacle…

The potential for the slow dismantling of our constitution…  

It does feel like These United States, are less and less acting as United…  

I blame all sides…  

Therefore, I must be at fault as well…  

I read a few articles, some of these linked below, some will piss off both liberals and conservatives…  

I think that is a good thing…  

We all should be thinking more deeply,

More widely, 

With more compassion…

As these maps show, these is no easy separation of areas that so differ in political leanings into separate states, much less into some sort of connected states…

 This is interesting as well:

Mostly liberal smaller heavily populated areas are surrounded by largely conservative larger rural areas…  

Maybe this is a good thing…  

There is no easy way to Balkanize into individual separate states or regions…  

Perhaps, we might have to work together…  

However,  

I am reading that people are steadily moving into politically like-minded areas…  

Maybe Balkanization will arrive with a slow migration…  

We shall see what will unfold…  

Namaste
