America has the least politically engaged population on the planet and conflict generally isn't regional. They wont balkanize. usually when countries fall apart they don't split into a bunch of different countries. the reason why they call it balkanization is because it applies strongest to former yugoslavia. There would be civil war but whoever wins would control the whole country. maybe a state or two will split but it's not going to be each state against each other.
This is a good take. I'd also imagine that the military, feds and intelligence agencies would become more powerful, more corrupt and more openly organized crime operations.
Not even, once >80% of the US technological/industrial might is brought under control clubbing any state into compliance becomes relatively simple. You wouldn't even need to fight just surround and blockade.
