    So balkanization and warring states. On top of the neo-feudalism.

    50 wealthy white dudes, each with their own fiefdom. Sounds amazing.

    What’s the point of having a federal government at that point?

      Okay, what’s your suggestion? Capitulating to Trump for the sake of having a federal government?
