Uh, no, that's not it works at all.
The "blue" states are, to a one, not mainly primary producers. They don't grow corn, wheat, soybeans, cattle, pigs, chickens, or extract oil or coal.
If you partition the country along a rural state, urban state divide, what will ensue is the collapse of the urban states economies as they are forced to deal with the real cost of food.

Weaponized, the price of food can be used to crush whole nations, and that is exactly what would happen to the blue states.
The rest of the world does not produce enough surplus to sustain "blue america". Hell, the rest of the world doesn't even entirely feed itself TODAY without "red america".

You control the food.
Lefties control the bureaucracy and CDC with Critical Race Theory.
Enjoy anthrax.
We actually have our own CDC.
The National Animal Disease Center (in Iowa) actually plays with way scarier stuff than anthrax.
I don't think that likely.
Let's break down those big companies you speak of.
Big companies in the red midwest...
Archer Daniels Midland. Cargill. John Deere. Pioneer. Monsanto.
What do they all have in common?
