America as Several Smaller Nations (self.asklemmy)

I've been wondering about how well a lot of American states could function if they where fully independent states. I'm not thinking every state would be it's own country but states banding together and becoming there own countries. An example of this California, Oregon, and Washington.

I'm thinking that kind of like the Fediverse it is easier to manage and do more the people on a smaller scale.

What do others think of this?

  1. I agree, what a little regulation could do to help them out

  2. I agree, and it just got a lot worse maybe

  3. I actually think Texas would stay on its own as it is still a republic and wouldn't want to support another state, as you said they can barely support themselves

As an aside, when Republicans were shown platforms without an R or D next to it IIRC they were more likely to choose the D platform.
