I'd honestly prefer breaking up the country to the alternative.

One of the problems with that is that there isn't a geographical divide like the last time (north vs. south). Unfortunately, I live in a red area of California. Are we going to build a wall around our county? The major city in our county is a bit more liberal. How would that work?

Agreed, there's no easy geographical divide, making this all the more messy. I'd guess that such a partition would result in three countries (Northeast, South&Central, and West), but it would likely take a very bloody war first. I wish I knew how we could do it sanely. It's a pipe dream, I know, but one that I'd like to believe is possible.
