    It would be really funny in a heartless way to see all the red states collapse. Big "I fucking told you so" opportunity.

    Unfortunately, it would take a long time and a lot of innocent people would die. Also they'd probably start wars

    Blue states just need to stop giving money to the federal government and the red states will very quickly get back in line.
