This is a good question and you've made me think about it. I'm not sure, to be honest but it does seem to be heavily divided between two "factions" but I suppose you're right it is not necessarily very clear cut as to geographically which territories would split into two different, or various countries. I'm also not certain it would require war, now that you have me thinking about it.
Do you think it is possible that, depending on whatever happens, a collection of Democrats and Republicans could ever negotiate their way into an agreement to split various states into two separate countries one day? If they hate each other so much, and there is so little regard for the operation of the country or the political mechanisms that govern it, maybe the next best solution for Democrats is just to say 'look fine, go have your country over there with all these states and we'll go over here; you can go have your ####ed up dictatorship and we'll continue to have our functional democracy and the American people can decide where they want to live'.
