There is no upside to splitting the nation for the liberal side.
They would be cutting themselves off from their means of survival. Without conservatives to do the work, and pay the taxes that they live (sponge) off of, they would be a short lived nation.
The entire premise of the thread is a non starter.

I believe the blue states have a much greater GDP than the red states.
Sure, why not, things couldn't get much crazier. And after the split, I suggest that the conservatives build a wall and get the liberals to pay for it...
We'd trick them into thinking it would benefit them.

In two years, liberals would be screaming about how it's not fair that they can't come in.

Once Kansas starts charging you $50 a pound for wheat, people in places like NYC will export billions to Kansas once they tire of eating subway rats.
Carthage loved increasing the price of grain as Rome declined.
Then what would we call ourselves when we are no longer the UNITED states????
The BiState ... But looking at the $$$ more Repubs states use welfare and food stamps. , so the dems would succeed - sad, but true --but some republican money bags would pay some judge to move the lines... Hmm hmm

So in NYC they buy from Canada instead.
By the way Mr. Wizard Carthage fell in 200 BC. Rome began its decline five hundred years later. As Rome began to be dismembered the Vandals occupied the land where Carthage once stood.
