I was thinking about it recently, and this is just a random thought I had it's not well developed, but I was Watching something on the uptick in separatist parties in the UK, and given the massive geographical range of the US I was wondering if separatist movements would be helpful.

This could be any separtist movement, from Chicano and African to Indigenous to Cascadian. I just feel like independence from the US is a lot more feasible in the short term rather than some form of revolution overtaking the whole country all at once. But like I said, it's an undeveloped thought (although I would prefer answers more than "i love balkanization" and "America is bad so yes." It's less a question of "is hurting america good" and more "is this the best way to do it?")

At some point there will have to be a reckoning. There are major areas of the country that don't want to live in Christofascism and these hogs will continue to push.

Unfortunately the split is more urban/rural than state based so chaos is a lot more likely than a clean split in my view. Still, I could definitely see wa/or/ca taking their ball and going home, especially if they continue to be subjected to retaliatory punitive policy. Not any time soon but in 20ish years or so
