Well, I basically agree with you. However, it would involve a lot less turmoil if we had some sort of 'county option' -- or perhaps an even finer geographical unit than the county -- to allow the people living in that unit to decide which America they wanted to be part of, Red or Blue. Even then, there would probably be a lot of population transfers.
But ... we have a problem. If we were a little no-account country, we could do this. But we are a world power, like it or not. So ... who gets the Nukes, and all the other defense apparatus? Given the way the world is going, we probably don't want to beat them all into plowshares or nuclear power plants. Even if we come home from our 400 military bases overseas and let the rest of the world sort itself out, we'll probably still want to be safe from Russian or Chinese or Iranian or North Korean nuclear blackmail, via 'Mutually Assured Destruction' (what a wonderfully appropriate acronym that makes!).
So, what to do? A somewhat esoteric example is, or was, the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It held together disparate nations, but had a common military/foreign policy. However, there is a better example, close to home: NORAD. That's the 'North American Aerospace Defence Command' which is a joint US/Canadian operation. [
NORAD - Wikipedia] We would need something like that -- Blue America, Red America, and Canada.
As for dividing the other assets -- the Smithsonian Museum, the National Parks, etc -- we should probably just let them become the property of whichever country they're in. It's the liabilities that will cause a headache -- our ginormous, and ever-growing national debt, assuming we haven't gone all Argentina and defaulted on it by then. And then there is the question of currency. Do we have a sort of 'American Euro', or does each new country have its own currency? Oh yes -- should we divide up Fort Knox? I predict work for lawyers for years and years here.
Okay, right now, we're just funning. BUT ... far-sighted patriots who are living in a Blue state ought to start planning to move, if at all possible. Of course, most won't. Most Jews remained in Germany until they left in cattle cars. Normalcy bias is very powerful.
In any case, patriots should take some minimal steps right now, ie start 'prepping' if they haven't. And of course acquire the appropriate defensive kinetic tools. (A note here: in a 'SHTF' situation, the more of you -- your relatives, friends, like-minded neighbors -- who have the appropriate tools, the better. But they may not have done what they should have when they could. So patriots with some spare income should take advantage of opportunities at garage/yard sales, etc to buy the tools they'll need. And here, something is better than nothing, and we must not let the best be the enemy of the better-than-nothing. A decent kinetic tool plus auxiliary bits will cost you something in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars. But a single-shot bolt-action .22 is infinitely better than nothing at all, and can probably be bought used for much less. So far-sighted patriots will have a few such tools in their closet, ready to be distributed to the Johnny-come-latelies. )
And don't think our Lefty friends are all gun-hating wimps. Have a look here:
About - Socialist Rifle Association
And, we should recall Trotsky's observation, that a revolution is not a struggle WITH the army, but a struggle FOR the army. So all patriots who have not yet done their military service, and who are under 36 years of age, should enlist in the National Guard. [
Army National Guard ] You'll have to put up with a lot of 'woke' bullshit, but just smile and concentrate on learning what they have to teach (not the PC crap, but how to clear a stoppage, how to adjust windage and elevation, how to deal with a sucking chest wound, etc).
