We are moving towards permanent minority rule. However minority ruled governments will inevitably fail. Unless the Electoral College is abolished and Senate representation becomes proportional to population then the United States cannot endure. Small rural, largely white, states will control the government while large states will pay taxes and have no say in government.
Under such a system, how long will it be before the people of California say “We have over 10 percent of the population and an economy bigger than that of France or England. Why do we live in a country where all are laws are made by Alabama, Mississippi, Idaho, and the other states where evolution is still controversial?” California will declare itself an independent nation, but there won't be a war. California will simply cease to participate in the federal government.
New York and New England will join together and declare the northeast to be independent.
The south will happily agree to the succession of California and the northeast since they will now be rid of those godless coastal liberal elites. The south will then be able to establish what they have always wanted; a theocracy where all laws are based on extreme Christian fundamentalism, a Baptist Taliban.
The other states will align themselves according to their interests. The final result will be something like the following map.
