Now - that's an interesting proposition. It may not just be the number of people, but the output potential of the country and people. It seems that you might tragically be correct - too much concentrated wealth and power.
It's interesting how brilliant the original design of the Republic proves to be. Had we refused to allow the federal tax system and the Commerce Clause to be abused to the point of destroying our federal system, we would have avoided such concentration.
I hope there is some way to buy time and enjoy liberty a bit longer, but I think you have a powerful argument here.
You gotta admit, the original design was so thoughtful. The left went after our gun rights, and the 2nd amendment was right there to stop them. They went after our free speech, free religion, and free assembly, and boom, the 1st amendment was right there waiting for them. Even the wording, it does not say "we give you permission to have free speech", no it says "shall not be abridged!"
They went after our elections, and there are all these redundancies in place from the state legislatures, to the courts, to the congress being able to contest fraudulent elections.
Of course, the end in itself is not the USA, but individual freedom and liberty. But the philosophies of individual liberty put forth in the declaration of independence and the bill of rights are timeless and eternal.

Under the theory of "too big to succeed" as it pertains to a Constitutional Republic, the concept of the Republic of Texas becomes attractive.
