    Why shouldn’t they be allowed to secede? Let the inhabitants of each state vote under international supervision to make sure the vote goes by according to western standards. I see no reason why any community should be barred from seeking independence and self rule.

      Something tells me the secessionists wouldn’t agree with that. Are they going to let their urban centers secede from their states if they voted to do so?

      If Texas secedes from the US, does Houston get to secedes from Texas?

      You’d end up with a situation like Brexit, where Scotland voted to stay but had to leave with England, only the whole thing would be 100x worse because US states are far more integrated than EU member states.
