I look at a place such as OH and say "no way". This entity does not function as one state, and I suspect most of the state wouldn't want to fund Cleveland.
I don't know if it would be in my lifetime. But at some point the whole thing has to come tumbling down. I just hope it doesn't bring all of civilization with it. Could happen; look at ISIS. The globalists are still playing that situation for advantage, instead of having disintegrated them last year when it was possible. They're pure evil, and just the kinda' guys that could usher in another dark ages.
I ramble. My point? As horrific as it might be in the process, to save civilization and Christian values, it's going to take some real pain. With that over-view the breakup of the US might be the best of a lot of bad choices.
Methinks the current plan to head this off is to change the makeup & character of any state that MIGHT consider breaking away. One way to do that is through demographics. Ironically, because of this, I think there is a fair chance that the Southwest might want day try to rejoin Mexico or become Independent.
Would you care to expand upon your reasons for singling out Texas, Hawaii, and Vermont. Why those particular three states?
