Our states are not, nor have they ever been, united.
We are constantly at odds with each other over race, class, education, income, gender, health, sexual preference, sexual identity, sexual expression, religion, ethics, morals and culture. We do not share the same dreams, the same goals or the same fundamental perspectives on reality.
The political alliances or connections we do make are often temporary and motivated primarily by our own self-interest. We have used this reality as both a collective strength and contentious weakness. But we are not together. We never have been together.
The United States of America is not an honest name for our country. The Divided States of Discord is a much more accurate description.
Have fun voting (or not)

That's why we need a Giant Iron Fist Police State to bring us all in line.
