Balkanization like with Yogoslavia, Czechoslovakia, or Singapore would probably do the trick.

I'm against making things illegal, there just needs to be a shift in public opinion.

Now let me ask you a question. Why are former slaves content to live on their masters land, and live among them? Lynchings, the Tulsa massacre, the LA riots. and yet no move towards Black self-determination? I would want my own state, my own laws, and my own police. This talk of tolerance and equality is confusing to me when the Black community claims so much oppression.

Would your new country have tariffs against goods from the United States? Immigration restrictions?

Pick up an economics textbook. Please read about comparative advantage and deadweight loss. If you're going to be like "oh well so the economy slows down, this is about meh identity" ask yourself do you want the cure for cancer to be discovered sooner or later? Do you want cheaper more efficient energy sooner or later? Any innovation, any new product or service, even one that may save our lives, that may come in the future will be slowed down and delayed if you obstruct the flow of goods and services!

There are socially useful purposes for regulations that make some deadweight loss worth it and which can sometimes be a net economic benefit over the very long term since markets tend to think in the short term, if anything the US has too little regulation, particularly when it comes to the environment, but putting up walls between countries does nobody any good.

We need less balkanization and more globalization.
