A while back, the Audacious Epigone ran the numbers on the issue of American secession. Here’s what emerged.

AE’s comment:
There is no longer any racial, religious, moral, cultural, political, linguistic, or ethnic unity in the US as it is currently defined. The last remaining bond holding the thing together, beyond inertia, is economic expediency. It’s why talk of dissolution will begin in interest once the impending economic downturn hits. The Federal Reserve, with rates already under three percent, will be unable to stave it off.
It is as a nationalist that I support political dissolution. A nation requires a shared sense of the aforementioned characteristics. As currently constituted, the United States shares none of these things. It is not a nation. It is an empire comprised of several disparate nations inside of it. The empire must fall for those nations to flourish.
Worse even if the left and foreigners /non complaints are expelled partition will be complicated by very different strains of Conservatism. I’m not interested nor will I tolerate a Neo Liberal economy if I have just fought to be rid of a liberal tyranny. Its just substituting State for Corporation
I also don’t want would be theocrats , Deus Volt types deciding on laws I live under either.
This means either a lot of negotiation or a lot of strife
Its is still a better outcome than the Commies but its not easy, more of a last ditch effort to prevent hundreds of millions dead.
