Take This State And Shove It: The New Secession Movement

Quote:

Secession-minded residents in rural areas complain their voices aren't being heard in distant capitals. Some would like to create new governments from scratch rather than staying forever trapped within a larger state that doesn't reflect their preferences.[emphasis mine]

Comment:

The cities tend to be blue, the countryside tends to be red.  Looking at the map of the US in terms of counties, the divide is along geographical lines, but not north and south, but town and country.  This could be a serious problem.
