Right. And here's where we come into conflict with more "patriotic" minded AnCaps: "America" ceases to exist as a well-defined entity. Which, TBH, I think is a good thing, because it was never that well-defined to begin with.

We can still have "America" the concept, whatever that means to whomever. 10-gallon hats, line dancing, chicken-fried steak, moonshine.... IDK, whatever. States might survive, maybe California, maybe city-States like Chicago or something, assuming they can become economically self-sustaining...

But America the Empire, America the "line on the map".... That's over. And good riddance, quite frankly.
