There's no Mason-Dixon line today. No matter the strife in DC the federal government rules.

Perhaps this story sounds familiar: The United States of America teeters on the brink of wholesale collapse, its elected representatives unable or unwilling to address fundamental problems related to race, class, and the country's role in the world economy. Government shutdown and civil unrest loom—unless today's elder statesmen pass a series of compromise measures that will preserve the union for posterity.
But this isn't a story about 2018, no matter how neatly that abstract narrative might seem to fit our own age.
