I've been thinking about this, too.

Looking at a map of the states that voted for Harris in 2024, it's very easy to imagine the U.S. splitting up.

In the age of the internet, virtual meetings, work from home, etc., geographic continuity might not be essential. It would be challenging to overcome but not impossible.
