Is America Becoming Rome Versus Byzantium?

Victor Davis Hanson, PJ Media

There is much talk of a new American red state/blue state split and divorce. Our Byzantine

interior and Roman coasts are quite differently interpreting their shared American heritage as they increasingly plot radically divergent courses to survive in scary times. But as in the past, it is far more likely that one state model will prove unsustainable and collapse than it is that either region would ever start a civil war.
