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?

Speaking as a Canadian, I don't want New England, New York, Washington and Oregon.

The eastern states are slightly less crazy, but there are a shit ton of crazy Christian gun fucking kooks in the Western states. No thank you.

We would have to do some de-arming and reeducation before taking those on.
