4. Like in those three instances, the radicalism takes on a nationalistic character. And hey- the manifesto already exists, since 1968. Wikipedia "Plan Espiritual de Aztlán," a Chicano seperatist document. 5. Riots, revolution, etc. Attempted independence thing. 6. Three possibilities: the rest of the United States is too weak and plagued with other domestic problems to bother with this economically depressed enclave. It lets it go, helped by a decline in national identity and vaugely pseudo-Leftist beliefs that support nationalism for poor people but not rich people, and racist beliefs about not wanting spics part of 'Murrica, and getting them off the welfare rolls, etc.
The second scenario is a war between America and the seperatist regions, sparked on by old-fashioned "let's keep the union together for nothing but stupid pride" spirit coupled with a poverty-induced nationalism (like, an exagerrated version of the whole "Bitter" thing Obama is getting criticized for). America could win, but the question is if it would be worth it. France lost Algeria after a long and costly struggle, just through sheer attrition on the part of the seperatists. And the United States is not going to be in the best of shape when all this happens, and likely will be facing other domestic disturbances.
