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.
