Just as in the case of the Civil War, there will be powerful economic interests that will not permit this. But the other issue is that all the red states are not contiguous with each other (nor are the blue states). We would therefore be left with a bunch of geographically disconnected states that are part of two new countries:

Yet the cities are all blue (perhaps because they are majority non-white?). The divide is largely rural-urban.
That’s another way of thinking about this, J. Sobran. Once again, you are unable to arrive at two new nations by linking all the cities in one nation, and the rural areas in another. These jurisdictions would not nearly be contiguous. Indeed, it would be a confusing mess.
