    They should just disunite and become 51 independent states. Then they don’t have to project their internal differences onto other countries any more.

      I agree, Balkanization would be for the best at this point; there’s no longer any legal solution

      Every state has its own government and the feds have become more trouble than they are worth.

        I should add that even if the states get a right to secede, but don’t use it, that improves people’s lives.

        Because the states can constantly pressure the federal government to be nice to the states or the states will secede. This way, the federal government is forced to treat states somewhat better, if it wants to retain power.
