Well, ideally we're supposed to be a country of states. A federal republic. The federal government isn't supposed to be this big & powerful.
Smaller nations are the future. 5 million in New Zealand; and 25 million in Australia. The US is too large and ungovernable.https://twitter.com/JonHaidt/status/1159618820904017920 …

The US is composed of states which have surrendered their sovereignty for other states' money. This is the future of the EU and globalism. States need to reassert their sovereignty and we can become governable.

The US stopped being a voluntary union in the mid 19th century. It stopped resembling the American nation when they changed the immigration laws to let anyone in. Smaller nations are absolutely the future, and all we can hope for is the transition to be as peaceful as possible.

Smaller, sure, but homogenous nations has to be the key. Plenty of large nations remaining unified due to this

I mean that's kinda what federalism is supposed to be. We've gone far away from that but it was the original plan.

All it takes is 2 terms of the wrong government agenda and the place can be flipped into a place you wouldn't want to live.Never trust the Westminster parliamentary http://model.Zero checks and balances.With a majority seats in the house the PM controls all branches of govt

We have similar problems on a smaller scale...many of us watch the US to see what's next here.

I would have put it another way. Looking at the USSR collapse ....Balkanization is inevitable. California, Idaho, and Texas are nations into themselves.

Idaho? Curious why you included it
-
I was thinking balkanization --> which led me to think of the states going their own way --> that had me think of the "American redoubt" concept --> then Idaho popped up -> then the B52's song--> https://youtu.be/n7t7cGwN7_0 ....

I like your thinking
