The United States is in the midst of a fifty-state couples counselling session, with many couples considering divorce. Is it, however, what we actually want? Is it possible for a country made up of such disparate entities to stay together?
From Connecticut to Hawaii, comedian, social critic, and writer and star of Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional, Colin Quinn, calls us out state by state. He points out the contradictions between what we say we believe and what we actually practise. Within the context of big-picture thinking about government systems—after all, how would you put this country together today if you had to start from scratch? Overstated skewers us all: red, blue, and purple, from dead-on observations about the idiosyncrasies and vibes of the residents in each region to dead-on observations about the quirks and vibes of the citizens in each region. It's filled with the same mix of hope and reality that gave birth to the United States.
