While the Balkanization of the USA can be a possibility I don't think it'll happen any time soon, even within the next 50.
Americans are comfortable, not uncomfortable enough to riot even at current Paris violence levels that we're seeing.
That shows how unmotivated we are.
You'll read alot about it on here or on some liberal rag or antifag blog - those are the outliers and as always the minority of opinon.
Most Americans cannot and will not swallow the break up of the USA or a Civil War.
A Civil War would have to have some critical mass behind it, even with Trump behind the wheel of America- we aren't reaching anywhere near Civil War level rhetoric. (Yes their have been some shootings or attacks but nothing en masse)
We've got way beyond on our basic needs being met by industry and the state.
There's no lack of food, fuel, basic necessities not being met for the masses.
Bar a serious incident happening - say the annihiliation of financing and the stock market - major hot war with a rival power - I just don't see it.
California and Texas can try and leave but it won't happen - hell Texas may even be blue in 50 years.
The whole California leaving legislation here was laughed at by us locals, so was the breaking apart of the state as well - it was a joke - put up by some salty minority voices.
EDIT: There's a great thread regarding the discussion of Civil War here : thread-60802-page-10.html
