- Wild and off the wall: What if people voted for the laws that specifically govern them, and not the people around them.

From a broader 10,000ft level, the state is too large an organization unit for a national divorce, but it would absolutely work on a county by county level. Blue counties are governed by a more liberal set of laws and red countries by a more conservative set. Tax money is collected from blue are administered and alloctated only to blue and vice versa.

I mean this is all bullshitting but it makes for an interesting thought experiment.

If you want to see a smaller-scale version of how this works, look up dry counties. Broadly speaking, conservatives are very much about how governing other people live while not wanting those standards applied to themselves. "The only moral abortion is my abortion", etc. Many such cases.
