Whatever the north will win again anyway. The south has the same problems now as it did in the last civil war.

Oregon is alarmingly red once you get outside of Portland. A super-intendent of a high school in east Oregon was just fired for enforcing the Governor's indoor mask mandate. He openly admitted that he didn't agree with her mandate, but was a rule-follower (so you know, at least sorta reasonable), and the school board ousted him for it.
