If you have studied any history at all, yes. US is well past its expiration date, currently being held together with force.

I don't think so and here is why.

Outside of large metropolitan areas even the bluest is state is strongly conservative take California for instance.

What we see in the U.S is exactly the same situation as what is happening in France. Large liberal metro areas suck in all the wealth at the expense of poor rural areas.

Second reason I don't think the U.S will balkanize is most people view themselves as American first and don't really identity with an individual state

Balkanization won't happen along state lines, that's laughable. It'll happen along racial lines, and how much territory they are able to claim. How every nation is formed.

I don't think I've ever meet anyone who puts their state identity over their national identity.

I could see a very violent civil war happening between liberal urbanites and the working class who are tired of their shit.

I'd watch closely what is happening in france. as a good example of what's to come

It seems obvious to me that the US is being intentionally destroyed, but not in the obvious way most people would first assume. It is the financial imprisonment that seems to be occurring that makes me think that America the prosperous nation is being made to imprison itself by being encouraged to take on debt. This means that wohmoever holds the keys to the bank ultimately becomes king because they have that hold over you, and we all know who holds the keys.

Then you have the socialist/communist side of things. Again, purposefully using Capitalism to send America into Communism. It's a sick thought to think that Capitalism is literally funding Communism, right now. I read something once that said Communism will only work when it includes the whole world. All the legwork for this is being made, and there will come that pivotal moment when we are all finally pushed over the edge into a new reality. It's already showing itself, and I can only think that it is not being stopped because those people are jingling the keys and reminding any naysayers of what hold they have.

I don't see how this can ever be prevented from happening now, it's too late.

Nah we just need to go back to federalism as embodied in the constitution. Federal government needs to shrink in a big way. Supereme court needs to revive the interstate commerce clause and curtail most federal intervention.
