What saved America for a very long time is the existence of blue states and red states. Neither side actually had to really live with eachother.

This is the difference with Rwanda and Yugoslavia. The people you hate lived next door.

I'm not sure that's really the case. Most states have a pretty good mix of Democrats and Republicans.

    Yes. Even the solidly Blue or Red states tend to be 55-45 in elections. A few extreme states might be 60-40. It really is more of an urban-rural divide with the suburbs deciding which way the state leans overall.
