> Also, the red states could sell the food to blue states, but just at a much higher margin than they currently do. The farms and just about everything else in "red" states are subsidized by the "blue" states. Their farms are not sustainable nor really competitive without those subsidies. They're completely financially ruined without subsidies and their largest customers. They're not going to be able to replace the "blue" states ports and neither Canada or Mexico are likely going to be interested in transporting their wares without hefty tariffs. It's almost like the country works because various groups work together under common legal frameworks despite ideological differences and uncompromising culture ware is short sided idiocy.
