Is official Balkanization of the US even possible?

It’s already happening. Look at Minnesota, parts of Michigan. They’re entirely Muslim and Arab. Then you have totally secular parts of the country in the northeast and west coast. You have the Bible Belt in the southeast, as well as pockets of majority black population. Hispanics are growing in number in the southwest. The country is splitting apart and self-segregating. Not healthy for any country.

Check out those folks in New Orleans.

It will be impossible. We are not divided by State or even region. We are divided urban and rural.

If a State or group of States left what would happen to the urban areas of that State. Would the cities of Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile leave the State of Alabama??

And yet people constantly moan that the executive branch isn't powerful enough when their guy is in. Funny how that works.

They could be made to submit to the will of the state.

Maybe to some extent where even possible - larger swaths of areas that are decisively “red” or “blue”. It’d probably be rare to have an entire state or states band together - everything is too spread out.

But for the most part it’d be more carved up, hard to define, prone to change, and a lot of guerilla warfare and raids, roadblocks, etc.

Think Missouri during the Civil War but on a much, much larger, wider scale.

At 250 years we are now at the point where we need to divorce Washington the same way we divorced the British crown. Nobody could disagree with this. Anyone who does is not living in reality
