For sure. States need to pursue de facto autonomy but avoid the word or concept of secession, at least for now. This is exactly what they should be doing but for every issue.
The red states are like the far-flung French overseas territories in the carribeans and in the Indian ocean: they complain loudly about France and keep talking about independence all the time, but the last thing they want is to actually get it, because then they’d become the ultra-poor shithole countries they truly are.
A union of red states only would be a third-rate nation. And it’s not hypothetical: the Confederacy was notably poorer than the North, even though they had slavery. A new confederacy today would be even poorer.
Republicans would love it if a bunch of blue states took their electoral votes with them. The US would never go blue again.
It would be their casus belli. This would not end well for anyone.

how colonialist of you
We are the states that contribute the most into the feds pocket books. If we go, less army, less programs, less everything.
And what’s left is under Republican control, forever.
Sucks to suck.
