Stop trying to whitewash your history. We know what your motives are and we, as Americans in the name of Abe Lincoln, won;t let it happen. Crawl back under your rock.

If Democrats were smart, they would lower the federal income tax to 5%, equalize earned income and capital gains rates (both at 5%), establish progressive tax brackets for the corporate tax rate (create a real wedge between Big Business and SMEs), raise their state income taxes by a corresponding amount, and then let Red States deals with the fallout.
That's how you "get back" at states led by Republican elites. They would absolutely crater without federal spending.
Do we get to keep Yellowstone? It's a national treasure the repubs/magas left to their own devices would just pillage and plunder it into oblivion.
the blue states will need to import their food.
Not really. Nost of the food grown in the midwest are cash crops for export or corn to make artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup. The midwest does not really feed the country and if you were an actual American, you would know that.

California is the largest agricultural state. And it doesn’t just produce corn and soybeans like most of the other large agricultural states.

Old Russian propaganda. This was promoted over a decade ago under the guise of social science from Russia.
Don’t fall for it. Besides it gives Trump the authority to keep the union together by any means necessary.
Regardless of who promoted the idea originally, breaking up the US or at least providing regional autonomy makes a lot of sense. There’s also precedence, for example Quebec/Canada, Catalonia/Spain, Scotland/UK. Also the voluntary dissolution of Czechoslovakia in the 1990’s. Honestly it’s the only realistic alternative we have given how hopelessly divided we are along tribal and cultural fault lines.
And then once you have that you’ll seek ways to divide yourselves further.
It will never end.
Abraham Lincoln knew this.
This is what our adversaries want.

No they are not. They talk the talk but do not walk the walk.
