No need to throw anyone out.
You get rid of the nanny libs by not allowing them to use the government to impose on their neighbor,

and get rid of the parasite libs by taking away their gibsmedats.

They’ll self-sort out of there.

then lets do that to the whole country!

Some southern states have high percentages on food stamps, welfare, and SSI disability and high percentages of non-payers of income tax.

If the country breaks up we are out of the empire/worldpolice business, bases will close, and that will also affect the economy.

If you don't think a smart southern politician could make use of this to turn the 40-45% Democrat vote into 50-55%, you may have missed Bill Clinton or Lyndon Johnson.

Sure, you can get rid of the nanny libs and Yankee meddlers, but when the same programs get redefined in terms of simple neighborliness, what you get may not be so different than what we have now.

Maybe secession will bring about an economic boom and create jobs? Maybe, but don't count on it after a massive default on the US debt.
