How will America be in 2050

[DanielX]

There will be the following nations in what was once the US and Canada
-Confederate States of America
-People's Republic of New England
-Midwestern Republic
-Texas (the Lone Star Republic)
-Florida
-Western States of America (the Sagebrush Republic - includes Alaska and parts of Canada)
-The Pacific Social Democratic Republic (includes BC)
-The People's Republic of California
-La Republica Socialista de Aztlan
-Republic of Hawaii
-Republic of Canada (Ontario/Manitoba)
-Republique de Quebec
-Nunavut
-Maritime Democratic Republic

Utah might be a part of the WSA, and it might be independent.

Of course, by this time there are 502 independent nations, the largest of which is Siberia. France alone is seven states, including Brittany, Bordeaux, Cosica, Picardy, Lorraine, Lyon, and the Parisian Caliphate.

I'm not so sure if I would agree with you, Adam Griffin. For one thing, either the election is going to focus on economic issues (in which case Republicans do better in the Northeast - at minimum in New Hampshire; also Colorado/Nevada and maybe even Washington - admittedly, the Republicans would probably lose Iowa and Arkansas) or else on social issues (in which case the Republicans do vastly better in the midwest and south).

I think you also overstate the South's swing - Virginia will likely go Democrat in the next few decades, Florida's quite possible due to increasing non-Hispanic immigration - but South Carolina? Even Tennessee is unlikely to go Democrat unless the Dems have a moderate-ward shift (your map would require a centrist Democrat from Georgia be running against a conservative Republican from Maine...).

There might be a leftward tilt in US policy in the coming decades. However, the effect isn't going to be that huge - and if it were, the Republican party would change - or become irrelevant. Which is the same choice the Democrats have now.
