It's going to be a real bad thing for some people in some of the states. E.g., the last time the Union was split up it was over the "right" to treat people as livestock. Or look at the use of federal civil rights laws in the ending of Jim Crow.

Yes, to me (not from USA) it looks as if would get worse for most USAians if the Union broke up. Especially marginalized people. But I think that for the rest of us, it would be cool if the US government would agree to work together, or agree to divorce. It's shit, being in the blast-radius of a marital crisis that's lasted 30 years.
