I'm glad I already substantiated it privately before posting my initial comment, anticipating your doubt with extreme precision! There is an 800 million dollar difference in GDP between red and blue states including a 6k/capita difference. Obviously, the economy would be hard pressed to really function if any states seceded. However, the blue states are a bigger part of the US economy than the red ones even though they are less in number and population. BOOYA!
Fine. Join Canada. See if anyone misses you. But if you look at an accurate map of political persuasion, most so-called blue states are actually very red indeed. There is a very large gerrymandering problem with how districts are determined and how an entire state gets categorized as red or blue.
