In light of this shit show, how long will it be until the big blue states start seceding?

Am I the only one thinking this could happen as the "federal" government disintegrates before our eyes and millions die while the government is bankrupted?

it would be after the election. The losing side would move for secession.

But, the red areas are pretty much all interconnected. The blue areas are like islands within that sea of red. If we had several blue nations, and one red one, guess which part would keep the most of the Federal assets?
