Are you really so naive?
A split of red states and blue states means that the blue states don't get the money they need/want to remain blue states.
They may hate, mock, insult and malign the red states, but they (the blue states) know damn well who funds their blueness. And they will never, EVER peacefully give it up!
Would they go down without what they think of as a fight? Of course not. Would their fight be powerful enough to rise to the level of non-peace? Of course not. Your're being naive :-) Their power consists of stage hypnosis, language and stories.
They throw paper cups, and their voters catch them. Ooh, I'm scared.
There would never be a greater mismatch in the history of man.
