I am sort of split on this. Because partly why no one is held accountable is because the country is so big. How many will travel 3,000 miles to protest. Most states could be their own country. Then when politicians fuck up you can drive an hour and a half to the capitol to raise some hell.

But at the same time, the US is the last beacon of freedom on the planet. Its military power has kept the wolves at bay. If we break that up, then we give them several small pieces that they can attack separately.And even use some small pieces to attack the others. Imagine land locked states being refused use of sea ports. It could go very badly and be much easier to corrupt and ruin.
