I've suggested just that to a few climate change deniers over the years, like most primary research opportunities none of them seem too interested in generating data...

We're you not at the vacuum collector meet up featured in How to with John Wilson (s03e04)?

The US is a failing empire that lacks any sense of unifying cultural identity. It's going to (or is actively) be torn apart from within and what's left will be a cold war front for what superpowers and allys exist. I don't see the west coast or north east wanting to participate in the fascist state, especially over the long run. In the fall of the union, powers with more direct reading routes will be more likely to find partnerships in what ever the reformed north America looks like. This isn't a prediction of invasion, but I also wouldn't take that off the table.

The US will tear itself apart. Nothing is impenetrable either. Difficult maybe, but the US alone couldn't withstand the world.

The US will be divided up amongst the victors - probably Europe and China - sort of like east and west Germany.

Every US policy is gutting US tourism. Be openly antagonistic to countries who most often travel to the US and they're going to stop coming.

Civil war/sabotage from within are option too, but I am not seeing any sense of leadership emerging on either of those fronts (not to say it would/should be obvious).

Tyranny has taken over - staying is a choice to live in fascism. Fascism does not die from within, it does a slow death from being excommunicated from the world or it dies a quick death as the world responds to it's expansionist tendencies. It does not die because people stop voting for it.

That anyone would want to be part of a regime that oppressive and call it freedom is insane, to put it lightly.

You only have to pay them if you move back to the US (and want to work). It's not like other governments disclose your finances to the US.
