Reminds me of east and west germany, even still today, one side is poorer than the other, which fostered new radicalism.

And also where i live, Quebec, poorer rural regions control the elections.

As i read this, i am remembered of Newsom meeting Trump, after he refused to help with Californian wildfires.

The optimist angle would be that Trump is secretely a Democrat agent, and that by crashing the stock market he just thinks it’s over-valued and wants to return to 2018~ levels.

Awesome. I support people fighting as hard as they can to defend their country.
