    such as “I can reasonably expect the U.S. to balkanize into a bunch of separate fascist entities.” but I don’t know where you are getting these ideas from.

    sigh, no, I said “the best i should reasonably expect”

    the idea that people will have the wherewithal and energy to physically balkanize is genuinely absurd and hilarious to me.

    More likely is the continuation of the legal balkanization

    my incorrect and obviously never gonna happen “physical” balkanization

    your materialistic and currently in progress “legal” balkanization

    nevermind I only said “balkanization”

      The question over this ‘legal balkanization’ process lies more in exactly how far is it going to go, and is it going to be applied only geographically.

      And yes, the distinctions do matter, as a state undergoing legal balkanization is not necessarily at civil war, whereas a physical balkanization requires a civil war.
