Every state has its schithole cities, Kentucky included. Some are just more developed than others.
Outside of Louisville, Portland, Nashville, Seattle, Bozeman etc......and the booming suburbs surrounding them, most folks are down to earth good people. More alike than different.
IMO, we are all fugked in 20-50 years. I see a complete shifting of political party lines way before any Balkanization will take place. We ain’t there yet, but it’s coming.
The people could balkanize themselves if they would. It wouldn't be recognized by the federal government. But when a city like Portland or Seattle dominates the politics of a state, it's time to let that state starve. The productive conservative people in that state should move their influence to a state with like minded people and let the communists in their former states curl up and eat each other.
