My wife is part of a focus group for public radio and she’s an avowed anarcho capitalist. She says things like “I suspect in 50 years the US will either not exist or be a much looser organization where the states rule” and the focus group woman says “that’s not going to happen!”, dismisses her out of hand, and refuses to write it down then moves on to the next person.

I think at a certain point the Midwest will have had enough of the stuff going on on the East and West coasts and it’s probably going to be a really bad time. Probably ultimately worse for the conservative parts but not after a very unstable and possibly violent period. I hope I’m wrong though.

Why should the Midwest care about what goes on on the East and West coasts?

Because federal laws and especially Department of Education mandates affect us.

To be honest most people on the coasts wouldn't agree with that statement either. It's a pretty big prediction with little evidence

Flyover Country Revolution. Flyover no more. Charge toll for overflying it. Why shouldn't private jets pay you up directly?
