Splitting the geography is easy compared to splitting the financial aspects. Don’t forget, even in a divorce someone gets stuck with the debts and bills. A divorce doesn’t erase those things.
Now split the debts and liabilities.
Who pays for earned retirements, ie, military, etc.?
How about social security, etc.?
Who pays the interest on national debts?
Then there are the questions like what happens to blue voters in the red states?
Read Kurt Schlichter book “We’ll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America”
Agree; Kurt lays it all out in that book.
Read his Kelly Turnbull series as well which makes it ‘real.’

The Irish Free State had to take over its share of Great Britain’s debt, inflated by the cost of WW1.
As for Social Security, if your mom, dad or SSI/SSD dependent sibling or child draws on the system, you pay.
I haven’t read his book but wonder how such a dumbed down, easily misled, apathetic, and morally corroded population can regain the greatness that was enabled by a totally different society than the one we live in today.
The author must be assuming that the demographics, social fabric, and ethos of America has not changed in recent decades. He would be wrong.
Its not hard to see that we are much different place today than we once were. Its debatable if we are even a country anymore considering that we have no borders, a dysfunctional legal system, and endemic corruption in our institutions.

My favorite book on this subject is “Molon Labe!” a novel by Boston T Party
Its about conservatives making a distinct effort to take over a state, wyoming, starting county by county, then the entire state, all through the ballot box. From there wyoming has to deal with an out of control federal govt and eventually other states move to the side of a free wyoming. The book goes into the laws that are passed that push all left leaning citizens out of wyoming. All done legally.
