The United States is in a fifty-states-wide couplesâ counseling session, thinking about filing for divorce. But is that really what we want? Can a nation composed of states that are so different possibly hang together?
Colin Quinn, comedian, social commentator, and writer and star of Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional, calls us out state-by-state, from Connecticut to Hawaii. He identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of governmentâafter all, how would you put this country together if you started from scratch today?âto dead-on observations about the quirks and vibes of the citizens in each region, Overstated skewers us all: red, blue, and purple. Itâs ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the U.S. into being.
