If you look at the voting maps by precinct you'll see a stark political division between urban and rural. States, and even counties, do not have enough resolution to do what you suggest. Example: even famously Leftist state New York is, geographically, dominantly conservative - there's just tiny islands of stark Leftism.

Absolutely agree that thinking in terms of splitting by states is way too generous. The liberal fascists control a very small fraction of the total land area. You have to have contiguous areas, though, which means they lose interior cities like Boulder and Austin, maybe even Sacramento. We would lose places like San Diego and Orange County.
