As much as wish it were possible, there is likely absolutely no way the federal government would ever approve of something like this, not least of which because there is just no legal framework by which it might happen. There's tons of Virginia country looking to join West Virginia because of how much Ralph "Blackface" Northam is fucking the state up. They face the same challenges.
I know what the law currently says, but the law will break and change under significant pressure. If you've got a governor in one state who's effectively purging and tyrannizing entire counties, while the neighboring state thinks they can absorb counties due to the political instability, you might get it anyway. How that gets rationalized legally afterwards may simply be irrelevant if the tensions are too high.
