Balkanized U.S.
Balkanized U.S.-the unmentioned elephant in the room
(After the myths of the past become white elephant memorials)
When the federal government becomes so legislatively and executively dysfunctional that states are
in chronic, adversarial states with the federal government, including the judiciary. It's then that
groups of states will form regional authorities as proto-central authorities that will lead to an
inevitable succession.
I will say that the Northeast with its financial and commercial centers would lead the way
-with the caveats of New Hampshire and Maine demurring from being a part of this northeast
collective. Pittsburgh in Western PA with the I-70 corridor into Maryland would be an addition,
just as Cleveland and the I-90 corridor to New York would be another extension.
These states with the exception of the mentioned caveats share similar demographics in their
population composition
The Southeast with its present anti-federal political predispositions would be the next region.
[Though the reverse black migration movements are being pushed].
Texas would lead the Plains states, including Missouri and Iowa, on a similar path.
.
Similar sympathies would be in Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana-
.
Michigan (because of the population centers of Detroit-Lansing-Ann Arbor,
Northwest Indiana, metro-Chicago and the Quad Cities, plus the I-90 corridor
into Minneapolis-St Paul would be a contrary region demographically
to the previous two regions and more similar to the Northeast collective.
In the same vein, the region outside the mid-western populations centers of Chicago-Milwaukee-Minneapolis/St Paul
would be more associated with the Plains/Southeastern states.
.
New Mexico and Colorado, with growing Hispanic and minority populations, would align
with the west coast, west of the Cascades and the Sierra Nevadas.
.
Alaska, existing on the commercial oil/gas, fishing industries, as well as the social anti-government
attitude to the distant federal government four-to-five time zones away would align with the limited
government, conservative states.
How the quilt of "governing" predispositions work? Much like what we see in Western Europe?
Much like what we see in Western Europe? A pre-European Union or the (inevitable ?) exit from the EU??
