How should America be broken up in your opinion?

    It is infinitely more likely the US has a military coup than a dissolution or balkanization. The majority of the population would cheer for it too.

    A lot of people mention Texas going independent, but that would only happen if the most deranged racist elements of the state somehow wrestle control away from the banks, oil companies, and real estate investors to create a white ethnostate at the expense of financial capital. And having known these people my whole life, they refuse to organize anything beyond their front lawn. They're currently too comfortable to instigate a revolt and far too brainwormed to identify the enemies they'd have in an independence movement. They think an independent Texas means killing Californian transplants and Beto O'Rourke. It's far more likely these secessionists would get swept up in a more organized fascist movement spearheaded by capital, which has no interest in an independent Texas. Also creating a white ethnostate out of Texas would require coordinated expulsion or massacre of 2/3 of the state's population. Good luck.

      Texas might go independent, but it'll be a de facto corporate kleptostate over decades rather than a formal secession. Eventually the Federal government won't be able to do things outside of maintaining the military bases.
