What would these 2 countries look like after 50 years

[My Name Is Nobody 3]

This is a hypothetical question but can put perspectives to the political scenes of today. For some fun.

We have the United States of liberals and United States of conservatives. Two seperate countries with the same resources, capitalism, laws, constitution, and bill of rights of the 1950 era.

The citizens are all liberals of the USL and all conservatives of the USC. How do these countries look today?

Do they still exsist? Was one or both invaded or attacked and occupied? Are they both still soverign? How is the qaulity of life? Are both strong and thriving? Do they both have all the energy they need to survive? Are they dependent on other countries? Are they both a world power? How do they look?

Interesting post. I always wondered what would the US have looked like today if the British had won and this ended up being a former English colony like Canada or Australia.

Or what would America be like if the British had never brought slaves here.

United States of Liberals would be bombed for sure. Even Switzerland would attack the douche bags...

Rather than WWII, Hitler and Europe would have launched a combined attack. Australia and Canada would have joined the smackdown..

Certainly combine all of the world's religions to launch a unified attack themselves.

The Spaniards would have then (and actually did) bring slaves to the areas they (and later Mexicans) ruled--CA, AZ, NM, TX, OK (note: FL was ruled by Spaniards but not Mexicans, due to the formers' selling it to US).

=Well USC is a power house so they would obviously come out the stronger country! Come on 69-0!

I think by definition, the Conservative country would still look exactly like it did in the 50s. They might revoke the 19th ammendment, but that would be about it. We'd be a pretty loud and smoggy country with all of the big chevy's rolling around too.

Its difficult to really split it though. I don't think a lot of the people in the 50s that were liberal by those standards would necassarily be liberal by today's standards. Liberal in the 50s meant desegragation. Today it means gay rights. You can't say that everybody who wanted equal rights for black citizens would be open to equal rights for gay citizens. So, if you are trying to find people of the same mindset as liberal today it might be a very small country.

I could see the USC starting to use up a lot of its resources and energy. Then sail over to the USL and pistol whip them and take what they need for another 50 years.

Maybe they wouldn't have to pistol whip them. USL wouldn't be using any of the resources that USC needed and what with USLs open border policy they could just drive in with their fuel trucks whenever they needed. USL wouldn't have any guns to stop them even if they wanted to, which they probably wouldn't because they would respect USCs right to their compulsions and even offer them some sort of anger management training at government expense to deal with their problems. It would be easy.
