"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I feel like every map I've seen is basically a variation of the second American Civil War in the Kaiserreich HOI4 mod.

What do you think a balkanized United States would actually look like?

(I'm new to this platform so sorry if this isn't the right place to post this.)

Red states will be given ownership of parts of blue states at the threat of military retaliation. This will be less a balkanization and more of a consolidation of assets. Red states cannot support themselves. They need welfare from blue states. States that bend the knee the hardest will be gifted the most from their neighbors. Red states that border red states will be super jealous of states like Indiana that will be given chucks of Illinois and Michigan. There won't be a true Balkanization because anyone that defies the federal government will just get nuked. Right wingers will actively cheer on commiting genocide against half the country because they all believe they will get to take the spoils for themselves.
