The world would be a lot safer if the United States were abolished. When the Soviet Union broke up, most folks thought it was a good thing. Let’s follow their example and break up the United States. Let the states be independent countries.
How will we divide up all the federal loot? Let’s sell it all off and pay off some of the debt and obligations for pensions and the like and repudiate the rest as odious. The weapons and military installations we will want to destroy or distribute among the states for their militias.
Give DC back to Maryland and let Marylanders decide whether to raze the federal buildings and monuments. We’ll sell the embassies and foreign bases and let the states start over with diplomatic facilities of their own. The states can decide for themselves whether to join the UN or any alliances.
If we can’t dissolve the United States, we should at least kick out Connecticut and Texas.

Agreed. There's an optimal size for a libertarian nation, and the United States empire has far exceeded that size.
The current state lines aren't necessarily the place where new lines should be drawn. It might make sense, for example, for Washington and Oregon to become a single country. And it would make sense for California to split into northern and southern.
Realistically, I think it would be hard for an official secession, BUT I think it could happen that a state or region could become effectively autonomous while maintaining a legal fiction that it is part of the United States.
