Makes me wonder also about his prediction that we’d split into 5 superstates.
This is all moving way too fast for me.
Splitting the USSA into 5 states would probably only be good. There’s a chance that one might actually consider governing by the US Constitution. I hope the state I end up in doesn’t keep Congress, though.
Me too & I feel like I am in a nightmare. When I was younger I used to think I wouldn't live to see things get really bad. Now I think I am going to see it all.
I've been thinking about that. Republic of California, Republic of Texas, Republic of Chicago, Republic of New England, and Republic of Florida. Surrounding states could latch on or not. I see Texas and Oklahoma forming a very strong bond, but a state like New Mexico -- I don't know what happens to it. It could be ceded back to Mexico. I don't know if Texas will want to support the entire vastness of West Texas either. It's just too much territory to defend, and there isn't that much that's economically viable out there. It might become wilderness, with the border being drawn south from Lubbock through the Amarillo area and on down to Brownsville or maybe Eagle Pass. The Northern Tier of states might want to consider joining Canada. Everybody has to be aligned with a state that has enough manpower to provide military defense. Chicago will dominate the Great Lakes region, and could possibly encapsulate Toronto. It will all fall into gloomy disrepair, but they may be militarily adventurous, seeking booty as they produce nothing. Some kind of republic probably would happen in the southeast. Republic of Florida? I don't know. Florida woould probably be a heavy, heavy player in it, but the capitol might be at Atlanta. I think it would be great fun. We could all spend great quantities of labor and wealth creating weapons to defend ourselves against "the Others", but there will be lots and lots of work to do, and hopefully, if people don't work they won't eat. Arizona will probably be claimed by California.
