"Until a few months ago, the question of America’s cohesion—whether it would stick together—was rarely raised. Yes, there are always simmering secession movements, but they’re always deeply fringe (and usually deeply cringe)." But all that could change:

Donald Trump promised to lower costs.
So what are Republicans in Congress proposing in their "Big Beautiful Bill"?
Cutting taxes for billionaires—funded by cutting food assistance and slashing health care for millions of people.
