Map Shows US Really Has 11 Separate 'Nations' / Entirely Different Cultures

Re: The 11 Nations Of The United States
Good article. I like the simplicity of it. In my opinion only, once the "Far West" erodes so will any illusion of personal freedoms will go with it. A friend shared their view with me, so I will put it here. "A "Conservative " will check to see if there is any water in the pool before jumping in, Liberal, Progressive, Democrats, will just jump and panic the rest of the "herd" into going with them." "The sound of the self-inflicted carnage will be heard around the world."
