The whole national divorce thing is pretty stupid, and while most of the people arguing for it are right-wingers mad that most of us think it’s wrong to hate trans people, the fact that our electoral map is broken up by states, which are then colored either solid red or solid blue, tricks even some reasonable people into thinking it makes sense. When in reality, this is what the country looks like, making clear there are basically no red or blue states.
@arossp Certainly right with that "basically" proviso, but, many, you can pick out West Virginia from space.
@jacobtlevy Yeah, maybe the solution is to just kick West Virginia and Massachusetts out of the union and call it a day.
@arossp Even Massachusetts still has that purple Connecticut River valley belt continuing down from Maine and NH. Rhode Island pretty darn monochrome, but it's not as obvious as WV because it's too small and there are purple splotches outside of it in both directions.

As long as you let us apply for EU membership you may have a deal.
