Territorial continuity is unlikely.
Political affiliation and alliances may be necessary for people like myself - in a Blue city, stuck in the middle of Red State deserts in all directions.

Or I may have to make a choice - live under the yoke of oppression and theocratic dictatorship or uproot myself and my family to live in a moderate modern state or area. The decision is already made for me. I am leaving as soon as it becomes feasible or necessary. I will leave everything behind and start over. This will sadly include family members who have joined the opposing cult. I won't miss them.

Divorce and dissolution are never easy and always hurt everyone unequally. There is just no legal or legitimate path to the kind of reforms that would be needed to fix the currently destroyed state of the American government, legal system or its economy as it sits today. The tectonic plates have been rubbing for a long, long time. The quake is imminent.
