I wish this were actually true. It seems like the less populated states don't have the balls to do anything. For that matter I don't see a real future for the conservative ideology in general. A combination of democratic indoctrination in government controlled public schools plus mass immigration means most of the things conservatives are fighting for or against today are going to happen regardless. The best you can do is delay the inevitable. But that inevitability is only a reality because you refuse to recognize the seeds of that inevitability and stop them.
In truth, conservatives in a bid to regulate and control America for their own purposes actually created the government propaganda, indoctrination, economic manipulation machinery which will ultimately destroy everything they tried to create. And they seem to be too stupid or unwilling to do anything about it.
Balkanization of America isn't going to happen because most Americans are cowards. And even worse, most of the people who loathe the future have too much to lose in the present to want to rock the boat. They'll die angry but wealthy, complaining till the day they die.
The bundy ranch event proves other wise...When pushed to far and into a corner, when a man has nothing left to lose he has everything to gain..
Just another brick in the wall for the "Balkanization" of the US.
When smaller, or less populated states realize that they have no say in electing the POTUS, there is little need to be a part of the US anymore.
Liberals fail to understand that being ruled by distant entities is what led to the first American Revolution. No one prefers to live under the thumb of others and have economic and political issues dictated to them by groups of people who do not have their best interest in mind.
There are very good reasons why-
1. the electoral college was created (to prevent the "tyranny" of populated states)
2. Senators were supposed to be APPOINTED by state legislatures, not elected
3. there was not to be a "central banking system"
4. the 2nd Amendment is #2, rather than #10, in the Bill of Rights
5. Washington was opposed to political parties
Plans to gain political advantage and dictate political and economic policy from one group of people, at the expense of others, will lead to the dissolution of the US. Are libs that dumb?
It could lead to a civil war, and the Restoration of the Republic...
Are leftist this dumb, no, they are this committed...They of course will fail..
Yeah its called the Tea Party..Funny who was arrested in a plot to blow up a bridge? It was not us...
Plot to blow up what bridge?
Funny how the Tea Party kooks are all out trying to defend a guy who is breaking the law, something other ranchers have no problem following. If the people of Nevada doesn't want the federal government owning 80% of the land in that state, then people should have bought the land in Nevada like everyone else did in other states.
Do you want to know why the federal government owns 80% of Nevada? Because it is desert that no sane person wanted to buy back in the day.

Times change, and we now know their are massive deposits of Gold, Sliver, Oil, Gas, Shale. Rare Earth Minerals, and possibly a massive underground river that has billions of gallons of water rushing through it every day.
Even if we wanted to buy these lands it is very differcult, and very rarely is any of it for sale.

Tough luck, Nevada founds should have thought of that when all the land was for sale, some guy could have made bank buying up a big desert.
New York has about 19 million people and 29 electoral votes. If every person in New York could vote, that would mean that each electoral vote would represent 655,000 people.
Kansas has 2.8 million people and 6 electoral votes. That means each electoral vote in Kansas represents 467,000 people.
Wyoming has 576,000 people and 3 electoral votes. That means each electoral vote represents 192,000 people.
These numbers aren't exact because I'm using total population and not eligible voters, but you get the idea. Each voter in Wyoming influences the final result much more than each voter in New York, for no particular reason except the fact that the US was founded in the 18th century.
EXCEPT THEY DO. That's one of the reasons for the electoral college. TO BALANCE the Urban Effect that is a natural function of democracies. Duh!
