US would fall apart without California and New York, the "red states" are all swimming in debt and full of unemployed, unskilled people. The "red USA" aside from maybe Texas would get real ugly, real fast. You'd have a lot of young people trying to flee out of there.

Liberal elitism at its finest. If youre skilled and educated you couldnt possibly live in a red state.
Blue states have their fair share of debt and you would learn that from a little research.
We already see people fleeing from blue states due to cost of living. CA and NY arent as important as you think, but libs seem to think it.

It's not "elitism" when California is the 5th largest economy in the world on its own. If you subtracted that from the US on top of New York, the US would draistically be a shadow of itself in terms of global stature. The economic engines of the US are on the coastal cities, there's nothing "elite" about that, it's simply true.
Things change, times change. Once upon a time in the US 50% of people also lived on farms and woke up everyone to walk around in pig crap and work on fields. That's why movie Westerns at one time were one of the largest TV and film genres (Gunsmoke, John Wanye movies). That doesn't exist any more, young people don't want to live on a farm or in the middle of Buttfuck, Nowhere, USA.
Pretty soon most of the world's population will live in urban centers, not just the US but everywhere.
