Episode notes
A Slow-Motion Breakup
- The United States is experiencing a slow-motion breakup, not a hot civil war, but a growing divide between red and blue states.
- This divide is driven by differing priorities and the blue states' desire to impose their lifestyle on red states.
California's Travel Ban
- California has banned state-funded travel to Florida and four other red states due to their anti-LGBTQ laws.
- These laws, according to California, discriminate against transgender youth, but they protect women's spaces.
Cold Civil War
- The US is in a 'cold civil war' due to the left's desire to control and the right's desire to be left alone.
