The Great Balkanization: How Americans Are Re‑Sorting Themselves by Politics

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Good morning, gang. Happy Friday morning. All right, let me ask you a question.

[00:00:06]How attentive are you to the for sale signs in your town? I mean, maybe on your street or whatever, but overall in your town, do you pay attention who's moving in, who's moving out?

[00:00:25]It's going to be interesting this year because there's a whole lot of population shift still going on and we have an election coming up in what 6 months. Okay.

[00:00:40]Who's moving in? Who's moving out?

[00:00:45]You look at some of the recent elections. You had one this week.

[00:00:51]Okay. up in Jersey in regards to replacing Mikey Cheryl's position in Washington after she wound up winning the governorship of Jersey.

[00:01:04]Yeah, they had the election and even though it was a blueleaning district, you had a overwhelming majority of the people in Jersey in this district vote for a AOC Bernie Sandersbacked squad memberesque socialist by the name of Anolia Maya.

[00:01:32]So, this district went from, how do you want to put it? Hard left to socialist left.

[00:01:45]Why?

[00:01:47]Okay, it might have a lot to do with who's moving in and who's moving out.

[00:01:55]Take a look at this picture real quick.

[00:01:57]This was put up yesterday.

[00:02:00]And this is the current projection of how the electoral college and how the seats in Congress will be divided after the 2030 elections or 2030 census, I'm sorry. The Democrats are going to lose about seven seats and potentially, okay, or at least the seats are going to be lost in seven Democratic states. California, Illinois, New York, Rhode Island, all going to lose them.

[00:02:33]Okay. Where are the people moving to?

[00:02:36]Texas, Florida, Utah, Idaho. Now, the worry that you get in Utah and Idaho, Utah is quickly going blue and Idaho is starting to tip that way. Yeah, if you live up north or something, you don't think I'm you think I'm kidding. Boise is going real blue and Salt Lake City is practically gone. All right.

[00:02:58]This is going to be problems.

[00:03:03]But what does that mean in your area?

[00:03:06]Where are the people moving to? We know the normal normal things. Take Tennessee for example. Memphis is blue as blue gets. Okay. Nashville is going uber blue. Knoxville is purplish but getting more blue.

[00:03:25]The rest of the state, which for Tennessee is about 90% rural, is ruby red.

[00:03:32]It's funny listening to the leftists saying Tennessee will be purple by 2030.

[00:03:39]Tennessee hasn't voted for a Democrat since Al Gore in 2000. And the only reason they voted for Al Gore was Al Gore was from Tennessee, you know, so that was about it.

[00:03:53]Every election we hear Texas is going to go blue and by nine points it stays red. You know, the the Democrats love to waste money in Texas. They'll probably lose a couple of seats here. Well, we know they're going to lose it from redistricting, but they're going to probably lose a couple of seats in the fall elections that they even have.

[00:04:22]There will be less than expected in Texas.

[00:04:28]What's going on?

[00:04:31]People like to disagree with this, say, "Oh, it'll never happen." We're really coming to a point of bulcanization.

[00:04:42]not necessarily splitting the country into multiple countries, which I still think maybe in my lifetime, but if you're a millennial or Zoomer, you're going to see the fall of the United States. Uh, we're not necessarily going to see it as the US broke up into four or five different countries yet, but we are going to see it in the shift of people because we're at a point where there is no coming back. Blue and red cannot live together. We've pretty much determined that at this point. People say, "Oh, I'm a moderate Republican," or, "Oh, I'm a moderate Democrat."

[00:05:32]know that those don't exist anymore for the most part because there isn't anybody to get behind. Are you get behind getting behind the hard left or the hard right?

[00:05:47]I mean, come on. Let's talk about who the potential at this point presidential candidates are. The top two leaders on the Democrat side are Gavin Newsome and AOC right now. Those are the two that are polling the highest to be the Democrat nominee. All right, let's think about that. The Democrats are going to vote for them. On the right, the top two candidates are JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

[00:06:14]I still laugh how Ronda Santis doesn't come in the picture. I don't get it.

[00:06:22]I mean, that's here and here. Who's in the middle?

[00:06:26]There is nobody. Okay. There is no you're I'm sorry we're not voting for John Kasich or somebody like that. That ain't happening. Okay.

[00:06:38]The people are separating the country with their feet, with their wallets.

[00:06:48]The leftists are staying in their blue cities or they're moving to them.

[00:06:54]The conservatives are leaving the blue cities and moving to red places. Florida gets redder and redder. Tennessee gets redder and redder. North Carolina is now getting red. Virginia is getting bluer, right?

[00:07:11]What do you have? You have people bouncing on borders and stuff. Oh my god, I can't live here anymore. They want to do this. They want to raise taxes. They want to outlaw abortion. And people move. Okay. Especially in the advent of remote jobs, cost of living comes into play. Well, if I don't have to be at the office, what the hell am I paying New York taxes for?

[00:07:35]I'll go somewhere else. You know, I saw this even 15 years ago up in New England between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

[00:07:47]It's a I'm going to go move to New Hampshire. The taxes are less, the cost of living is less, etc., et, etc., etc. I still work in Massachusetts. Who cares? But I'm going to go live in New Hampshire. I mean, very common. And you're going to see more and more of that here in the country.

[00:08:08]We are doing the people without really even paying attention to it. We are doing exactly what the community, the prepper community has been saying is going to happen for at least 10 years.

[00:08:22]We're bulcanizing the country.

[00:08:26]The red the the conservatives are surrounding themselves with more conservatives. The liberals are surrounding themselves with more liberals. And it's human nature. I mean, all in all, you think about it. Think about your friends, the people you hang out with.

[00:08:44]You have something in common with them.

[00:08:48]You don't see the I don't know how do you want to put it doctor hanging out with the guy that collects the trash. The doctor hangs out with other medical professionals or other professionals. The blue collar guys have a tendency to hang out with other bluecollar guys. It's just the way it is. You you surround yourself by people who have similar beliefs, similar qualities. Why are there Chinatowns or Hispanic enclaves and cities? Because they have something in common. You Why do we have, you know, go take a look at the population, the white population at H.B.CU, okay? It's minuscule.

[00:09:44]Why? Because it's a historically black college or university.

[00:09:48]It's just the way it is.

[00:09:52]You mentioned Carnival Cruise Lines, right? Uh but is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? What's happening in your area?

[00:10:06]I mean I know around here li my very specific area liberals move in their persona non grata okay I mean literally nobody will associate with them and that's becoming more and more and more the norm around the country.

[00:10:30]It's not we reserve the right to refuse service because you're black.

[00:10:37]It's because you're conservative or you're liberal.

[00:10:42]Some people could say it's a good thing.

[00:10:44]Some people could say it's a bad thing.

[00:10:46]I mean, we've all seen the stuff. Again, I know I keep going on to this each week, but so uh on social media, you know, if you're a Trump supporter, we're not going to serve you. You have to take that hat off on an airplane, otherwise I'm going to throw a fit. yada yada yada, right? Cuz you're wearing a freaking t-shirt or a hat. Okay? You know, in some respects, I get it, but not when it's g make America great again and you're offended. Please explain that one to me. Would you rather have me wear a hat that says make make America a hole? Cuz that's what you're basically advocating for.

[00:11:25]that's what you believe in too if you're on the left. But we're bulcanizing ourselves and eventually it's going to get to a point where these are not going to be 5149 areas. These are going to be 955 areas.

[00:11:47]And this is when you're going to get into the scenario of say Texas and all the talk every time about seceding, right?

[00:11:56]And the people are finally going to go, why why are we part of this?

[00:12:05]Why are we paying income taxes? Here it is a couple days after tax day. The government does nothing for us. We're going to change everything.

[00:12:16]change throughout history is normal.

[00:12:19]Look at the map of Europe in the 20th century.

[00:12:24]Again, where's the Ottoman Empire?

[00:12:26]Where's Yugoslavia? Where's East Germany? H where's the Soviet Union?

[00:12:32]Those were all countries at one point in the 20th century in the last 100 years that don't exist anymore.

[00:12:41]We're going to have a day when you somebody's going to look at a map and go, "What's this United States of America thing?"

[00:12:50]Because it ain't going to exist anymore.

[00:12:54]For some of us, that'll probably be a boon. The red side, for the blue side, I don't know.

[00:13:06]It's going to be pretty hard to collect your food stamps and your welfare checks and all the social programs when nobody wants to go to work.

[00:13:19]People out
