    Yes, but blue states also physically house or contain a massive amount of military hardware and bases.

    For example, broadly speaking, there are not too many major naval bases in red states, there are not too many major army bases in blue states.

    Where are which air wings, at the moment?

    Which units and commanders pick which sides?

    Who gets which nukes?

    … Who knows?

    We would be far from the first country going through a civil war or balkanization or coup or revolution or even the first time in our own history where things like this would come into play.

    Also, it probably would be less about money, per se, as to where would be potentially invaded… as it would be… water, areas with any kind of major manufacturing hubs, extractable natural resources, arable land, large power plants, etc.

    It is also highly unlikely that there would be a clean break along state boundaries… lines would almost certainly be redrawn, in one way or another.
