[VIDEO] This video seems to be very political, however, it's as much of a geography lesson than anything else. Red states have less people than the blue states. Red states are more religious. Blue states are more ethnically diverse. Blue states have a higher GDP.
And then we go into the areas of whether or not blue or red states are more rural. Of course what makes a red state or a blue state. Is it how they vote in a presidential election?
Illinois is a blue state, however, you leave the Chicago area the redder this state becomes. However, most of this state's voters are in the Chicago area and at least Cook County Chicago is a solid blue area. Other blue states have such a sharp divide the urban/suburban areas are more Democrat than the rural area which are largely Republican.
As for this "national divorce" well it sounds like another civil war which I hope never happens. I think it's just a reflection of how divided this country is. Right now there is a stark divide between liberal (blue) vs. conservative (red). It seems both sides have very different set of values and right now there is hardly much reconciliation between those differences.
I would say I never heard much talk of a national divorce before 2020 and the pandemic. Of course that's not to say that the differences didn't just emerge three years ago. These differences have been around for decades
