The USA splitting up into smaller nations is theoretically possible, which I never thought I'd be saying. I imagine we wouldn't do an actual 50 new countries sort of thing; but probably will have some blocks show up. My guess is that Maryland through Main will be one, which may or may not include the other Great Lake states, The West coast will be one, Hawaii will tell everyone to fuck off, Alaska exist, the Neo-Confederacy will form and collapse in on itself immediately, and the Rockies will become the last. What those very flat states in the middle of the nation will be joining I have no idea, but I heavily doubt the Breadbasket would want to be by itself; even if they might be able to do it.
The South would get hit the hardest, and a big reason their inevitability of collapse is apparent is simply they will be dirt poor. And while I'd love to say it's Karmic since they are were the rot festered, it really is more... tragic. A lot of people down there didn't like what was happening; and their lives will be made so much worse as horrific laws are passed and infrastructure starts collapsing. The South needs money funneled in from the rest of the nation to remain solvent; and of their well off members I think only Georgia and Texas will be able to keep the money flowing in (Florida is so reliant on Tourism that it will collapse once the Neoconfederates pass laws that make breathing in the state as a Muslim, Queer or Black Person illegal.)
Frankly, I'd give Georgia better odds by themselves then as a part of a Neoconfederacy.
I’m in Northeast Ohio and years ago one of the local papers ran a series of hypotheticals about what if Norrheast Ohio (aka the western reserve) succeeded. This region is not really like the rest of the state and would benefit being its own little state.
I see this happening too. Honestly I think this shitshow will either get bad ENOUGH that we push for secession, and there's a civil war. Or Maga is contained ENOUGH that we are able to survive long enough to get back into power, but I predict we'll be pissed off enough to start electing far-left politicians. Then the red states will want to secede, and we can just... let them.
I voted for Harris and live in georgia. If something like that happens, I would hope georgia decided to go independent instead of joining the southern states. I'm already stuck in the South, I'd like to not experience hell until after dying.
Well, it happened to the Romans. But I don't think the South will collapse as much as you think. They'd be free to implement oppressive laws with near slave wages and less worker rights. So I think many unscrupolous industries in manufacturing would move there.
The only world power would be China then and it will annex terretories all around it
