The way things are going maybe the best solution to our fractured Republic would be to reduce ourselves to semi-independent regions. This would make official what is already a reality in feeling if not law. Like Quebec in Canada still loyal to a central authority. However culturally independent.
Right wing nut job regions can't affect the lives of folks in progressive regions. However progressives can't help those in repressive States. This is for all it's faults the best way to avoid Civil Conflict...a Second Civil War in the near future.
See map, and 15 Star Blue States flag. Other Regions have their own banners.
However as I say the 50 Star flag is still the Official Central Government flag.
This for international commerce defense, and national infrastructure..
Without defense from the Federal level, the western seaboard makes a juicy morsel for a certain rising global power. Sparsely populated fertile river valleys with little more than a giant pond to defend them must seem very tempting to powerful hegemons with huge populations to feed.
