I see this as a win-win for the following reasons:
1) People in California don't want people in Texas influencing their politics, and vice-versa.
2) The "Balkanization" of the U.S. will weaken the international influence of the U.S. empire, allowing developing nations and others to evade the grip of Western capitalists and neoliberalism, allowing them to pursue their own development path according to their material reality.
The unipolar world that merged on the post-Soviet international stage is dead. Stick a fork in it.

What do you think enabled there to be a development path for these nations in the first place? The “material reality” of the every nation on earth save for like, France, the US, NZ, Argentina is not development… it’s de-industrialization. The unipolar world your celebrate the demise of was responsible for the greatest and fastest increase in the quality of life the world has ever seen… ever. You’re right though. It’s over. As is the influence of the US abroad, though not by accident, but by choice.

I would agree on both points, as long as the relationship stays competitive and not confrontational, both at the state to state level, and country to country. I realize that is a big "if", but as long as everyone stays cool and keeps working on their own version of utopia, it will work out.
