It is far more likely we'll balkanize, and stabilize based on local cultures first, then regional, then national. It won't be pleasant and it's very likely many will die in the process due to disruptions of the supply chain (Cali being an exception; likely new base for the jews), but we do have larger cultural ties that will eventually bind together new countries, if other powers don't seize the opportunity to grab us while we're weak and disorganized.

That's a serious point that I have never considered. The problem with all of the candidates is just they don't have the juice, because none of them actually want CHANGE which requires control, they want CONTROL while claiming they support change. The drive is fake and gay.
They need to believe it as much as Hitler did, akin to faith, alongside the political expertise, if anyone in this world would take up that crown; the only problem is the old guard is too keen on making sure that never happens.
