Maybe not in the next 50 years but it will eventually happen one way or the other. Nothing lasts forever and the United States of America will eventually cease to be no more.

And when we do eventually balkanize, we will be happier and more focused on our communities than ever before. Large global entities are not and will never be sources of happiness. Small nation-states is where it's at.

And President Trump hasn't left behind a shred of evidence that he ever so much as jaywalked. Not even an allegation that an honest citizen would call credible. We are blessed to live in this era of stable genius.

I can’t disagree with that nor do I believe the Founders really thought we would end up as large as we are currently.

I hope so...........and much sooner

You can't compromise with these radical liberals. It's their way or the highway.

We're seeing their shannigans on display right now with this impeachment hoax.

The uniparty will regain control again soon enough.

They are playing the very long game.

If you want to see tribalism read the first 100 years of US history.

Chances US Balkanizes in next 50 years? by DeltaDoc


50 years is a long time, D. Did you listen to Charles Payne on Fox this morning? Even he realizes that Universal Basic Income will be a norm within a decade. The MASSIVE economic impact of Robotics, AI, Nanotech, Genetic Engineering...and Lords knows what is coming from Super Computer exploration...will affect us in ways that we can hardly imagine. Throw in the UFO VERIFIED high tech stuff they've been hiding...and it's off the scale.

Balkanization will be a moot issue re the kind of change that is in the pipeline. Though your point and the possibility of major Ideological conflict, is valid. In fact, the odds for some sort of population 'adjustment', via Nuclear, Bio or "Space Force" tech that we don't yet imagine...are far more likely than the relative luxury of Balkanizing.

Pray that there is a loving God, who'll guide us through. Otherwise, it's likely the Fermi Paradox.

I don't think countries are supposed to be as big as the US and also 100% democratic and open. The only countries nearly as big as us (i.e. Russia, China) all have significant "drawbacks" that allow the government to operate fluidly and without people rioting because someone said a mean thing. I think we may see a regionalized system (States > Region > Limited Federal Government) before we see full on succession however

Governing 350 million people in the most diverse place in the world is just a dumb idea.

Liberal prog filth can’t live without the Right because they need to confiscate the Right’s productivity and wealth to survive. The Right lives better without the Left filth.

That’s the conundrum. The Left wants to rid the world of the right and are to stupid to know they can’t survive without the Right.

Limit the power of government

People like you are just too dumb to realize this nothing new, and your side is exactly the same. The only answer is to neuter the power of the government

No. I think that is a reactionary take.


This was the response 5ish years ago when people suggested that after gay marriage was legalized all sorts of hate speech laws would follow.

And we've moved further left then that during those 5 years, we're into the "women can have penises and men can get pregnant" area of progressive insanity.

But yea, people need to stop over reacting and wax that poor woman's balls.
