I'm floored that 40% of the country thinks like this. I know at this point, I shouldn't be, but still, wow.
I recently had a business call with a very highly educated, establishment gentleman with intergenerational wealth, residing in a rural, deep-red section of the country. He truly believes that America's cities are smoldering, anarchic ruins, analogous to Mogadishu or Benghazi. Meanwhile, from my window there are $4 million 2 bedrooms on sale a block away, and packed children's playgrounds.
It's very hard to sustain nationhood when there are two realities.
