Hoping western leftists break off a chunk of America and make it a AES actually. Won't happen because they are always eyeing our countries in the global south for breaking apart. Not directed at you OP.

    Yeah, I'd love to see that happen, but I really don't think it's gonna happen any time soon — at least not on a scale larger than one neighborhood for a period of longer than one month. Maybe we'll be proven wrong, though! God willing!

    I think state identity must be taken advantage of and use it to bolster independence movements

    Like make sure people will start identifying with their own state identity more to the point that they don't care that much about the national American identity and even think that the American identity undermines their state identity. When that happens, more people will want to secede

    I doubt this would be effective, given that state identities and US national identity are both settler constructs. These identities were constructed alongside each other to work with each other to further colonization, so I frankly strongly doubt you could "reform" state identities in a productive or progressive direction, except maybe Alaska and Hawaii.
