Even the red/blue divide is something of an illusion, the real division is along different lines than the media-driven issues.
Media taglines rarely cover more than the passing illusion. But the Red/Blue division is just the name of an older Agrarian/Patriarchal / Urban/Egalitarian split that runs through US history from colonial times forward. In fact the fight began in Europe in the Middle Ages.
