I believe we are mirroring the pre-civil war era.
Decades of political posturing with the illusion of maintain a balance of free states vs slave with the admittance of each new state; each side wanted to gain overwhelming control of the federal government.
That desire for control didn’t go away with the secession of the South. A battle was coming... it was just a matter of time.
In our current time, that control is being implemented with illegal immigration instead of adding states; the right is doing nothing to maintain the balance
Even if (somehow) a national divorce could happen, a battle to cripple each separate nation’s economies would certainly happen in short order. With the world situation currently, it would be an unequal battle; other western nations would immediately implemented sanctions against the non-Washington control country.
There would be boycotts, there would be embargos. Money would be seized, banking denied.
We are dealing with Trotskyite world-wide thinking. Their revolution HAS to be applied to every spot on Earth. It has to be a permanent revolution.
We would cripple ourselves with the desire of wanting to be left alone thinking they would want the same... while the other side would want to win.
We would only waste time (and perhaps the battle) pursing a national divorce when that effort should be gathered into winning.
Breaking up the country isn’t possible.
One side has to win.

Well, for all practical purposes, the left has won. It seems our side is good at pointing out the evils of the left, but not much happens when it comes to pushing back against it.
For instance, one issue that needs major pushback is the climate cult, yet there are mostly crickets from our side while they are banning gas stoves and very soon the internal combustion engine.
