[quote=FlyerInHi]Blue America has the wealth advantage. Whatever Trump does it will only widen the disparity because he’s a coastal billionaire at heart.
The divide is economic, and it is massive. According to the Brookings analysis, the less-than-500 counties that Clinton won nationwide combined to generate 64 percent of America’s economic activity in 2015. The more-than-2,600 counties that Trump won combined to generate 36 percent of the country’s economic activity last year.[/quote]
Only problem with looking at it that way is the Trump counties produced a lot more of the non discretionary items of the economy. The flyover countries can probably live just fine without an iPhone, Facebook, Netflix, or whatever else. Can the coastal regions even survive a week without the food and energy flyover counties produce. If the super markets run out of cellphone packages of chicken the progressive cities of the coast are going to go feral pretty damn quickly.
