I tend to agree that these events should now translate to a decisive Trump win. However, if not, there would be a very unstable situation. Let’s say it’s a case where HRC is slightly ahead in the electoral college. Then it might come down to one or two states ordering their electors to cast other ballots or abstain, so the result might not be certified by the usual deadline and this disputed result might go into the House. If that still resulted in a Clinton presidency or some other unforeseen non-Trump outcome, then you would have the grounds for both civil unrest and the possibility of dissolution. The Trump states form more or less the heartland of the USA and would be a coherent, therefore governable, geographic entity. The other states would fall into two groups on the two coasts. Then you would likely see also movements to divide states along voting lines so that parts of western and eastern states joined the T-rump (as I call the breakaway republic, the other two parts could be West Idiotstan and East Idiotstan. They might do a Pakistan pre-1970 and form one geographically separated nation. Or they might go in two separate directions (marijuana vs cocaine possibly).

My scenario would only be plausible if the U.S. military backed the T-rump and quickly consolidated all assets within its borders (most already are especially after any partition of western states). The T-rump should occupy Hawaii if they vote to go with West Idiotstan. Hawaii’s military significance would be of more relevance to sane, hard-working T-rump citizens than to blissed out “hey man, is Starbucks open yet?” West Idiotstan for whom a Chinese invasion would basically be a shift in real estate values.

East Idiotstan would be what CNN and Michael Moore have always fantasized, a voluntary Cuba with President for Life Obama in charge. Little if anything would be heard of it after 2018 and its entire financial collapse.
