The Republican States will be heavily sanctioned and squeezed hard in trade deals

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.

You see, despite the annual liberal cries that the USDA is subsidizing agriculture, the reality is that North American agriculture is the most productive and economical in the world. 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".
