Political Confessional: The Man Who Thinks the U.S. Is Better Off as a Bunch of Separate Countries
1st September 2019
We’d certainly be better off without California.
This week we talked to Chris, a 35-year-old white man from rural Pennsylvania. Chris wrote in that he thought, “the U.S. should have a velvet divorce,” a reference to the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia — now the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic — in 1993. Chris went on: “I live in heavy Trump country but know he’s an idiot, but even Trump haters wouldn’t agree to break up the U.S. And certain areas (the South, the Midwest) would be horrible for minorities and destroy the environment. But it’s obvious the U.S. has run its course.”
Notice they never print interviews with people who actually like Trump and know he’s not an idiot.
The Narrative, the whole Narrative, and nothing but the Narrative, shall see print.
