I'm not sure Canadians would want the 6 million Californians who voted for Trump (more than 38% of the voters in the state); or the 3.5 million New Yorkers who voted for Trump (42.7%). Maybe leave the mostly rural areas of the Dem states for Trumpistan?

Also the included states have a larger population than Canada, so it would be Canada joining the Dem states - which I can't see any sane 1st-world country doing.

Letting the Trump states become a country, and the Dem states (sans rural areas) become a different country, seems like it would make both groups vastly happier; tho it would require allowing at least a few years for people to swap states.

From humanist/freedom perspective, the right way to do secession, is first have a state/regional vote, but then allow subregions to also choose to be the exception. The divide in US is primarily Urban/rural. There is the issue that freedom is illusional everywhere including the US. You need to be enslave to the rulership, and not allowed to leave, even if we let Netanyahu pick our leaders through a theater of an election.
