Especially since if secession ever came close to happening the economy and dollar would crash so fast that it would create such panic that Liberals would riot and burn down their own cities. The remaining United States would be too busy trying to keep control of its cities to even attempt to do something about the states leaving.

"Liberals" meaning pointy-headed intellectuals who can't park their bicycles straight and are always talking about recycling and solar energy? Doesn't seem very likely.

If there's rioting there'd be more in cities in areas that plan to secede -- and possibly open warfare. It's not like everyone would be united on secession. So I'm pretty sure that our country and government wouldn't be as incapacitated as you say.
