Because most states are some level of purple and splitting us up state by state is batshit insane. Not to mention, red states are financially dependent on blue states and would be screwed without their support. It’s also not a clean north and south split like during the civil war. It would be blue coastal states separated by a red middle. Just a geographical nightmare.
