America won’t balkanize because their is no such thing as a “Californian” or “Southern” nation, just regions. When the USSR balkanized it did so into different countries which before the USSR had conceded themselves different nations with a different history. This isn’t true in America. Balkanization is less likely than communism, both now and in the future. And if you were to succeeded in getting a state to leave all you’d get is tanks pouring into said state until it rejoined. The only people who believe otherwise are those who think Americans are incapable of communism.
California is dependent of the rest of the country for water. And Texas is full of immigrants from the rest of the country to leave.
They’d boycott them until they rejoined. And if that didn’t work, invade.
