Red Nation, Blue Nation: A House Divided

By: Sipila, Stephen

The election of 2024 divided America. After the Democrats win the election the Republicans start a second insurrection killing members of the government in a terrorist attack who are then in turn killed themselves by a counterattack. With the nation's capital in ruins and the majority of the leaders and members of both political parties wiped out the United States is on the brink of Civil War. A compromise decides that in order to prevent Civil War in 2025 they will divide the country into two separate nations, the progressive blue states becoming a democratic socialist nation called the People's Republic of America, and the red states becoming the People's Christian Republic of America, an authoritarian theocracy and fascist dictatorship.
Into these two states in the year 2027, two years into the separation of the country into two nations, we have two characters living diametrically opposite lives. Jacqueline is a transgender Asian woman living in the new capital of New York City, where Aisha is a black lesbian living on the other side of the divide in Texas where her very existence is considered a crime. Into this atmosphere of political conflict it now seems that people from the People's Christian Republic of America are sending terrorists over the border into the People's Republic of America to cause terrorist attacks and whip up trouble as a scapegoat after suffering a devastating series of climate change driven natural disasters, which official state propaganda from the People's Christian Republic of America says are just false flags.
Jacqueline and Aisha will begin an illegal relationship taking place online bridging the divide between their two countries, and as they grow closer together their nations are growing further apart, and as continuing tragedy drives both nations to greater conflict that might be boiling over into war, will their relationship be able to endure the long distance relationship or will they finally have to find some way to come together and meet?
