The conflict isn’t state vs state, it’s not really urban vs rural. The population is mixed. There are tons of Trumpsters in California, tons of rabid Democrats in Florida or Alabama.
I don’t think a geographic split would work.
I disagree. The US is basically 14 geographic subregions being forced to all agree on how they're all governed. Conservatives and Democrats aren't monoliths, and I've known plenty of California (and for that matter, Georgia) republicans who move to Texas or Idaho thinking it'll be political paradise for them and end up getting called woke pinko commie scum. I think as long as things fall apart with relatively little violence, a lot of folks will self-sort into the kind of regional government they want to live in.
That's not my experience. I have Trump hating family that retired in Florida, or work in Texas because that's where their job is. I have raging southern "Trumpy Christian" family doing work in California or other liberal states.
I've seen a lot of mixture in both.
Moving is not easy. Opportunity doesn't just pop up. And it doesn't align with politics.
Besides, underneath I think everything is really just a class war, and the giga-rich want to maintain the Republican vs. Democrat facade. So they won't let everything split into regions.
