It would be the messiest split ever, considering there are blue economic strongholds in most of red leaning states, and red rural areas feeding the cities throughout the blue leaning. At a macro level all the states are co-dependent, everyone fails if the union fractures.
There is no clean way out of it. Split, civil war, fascist dictatorship crackdown, world war against the US, war with Mexico and Canada forcing the US collapse, sending every possible minority to a concentration camp and ruling for decades only to eventually collapse like all fascist dictatorships do. There is only messiness in the future.
From an early age Americans are programmed to have an emotional attachment to the idea of a unified country, but the reality is most would be happier with governance being more localized and proportional.

I really wish more people saw it with this kind of clarity.
