1/ What would be great about breaking a larger democracy up into smaller ones with like minds concentrated in each one: we'd get very clear signals about how each form of ideological madness plays out in pure form. Factions couldn't constrain each other.

2/ Some want to radically cut incarceration. Okay, concentrate them all together in their own mini country while the rest of us watch with popcorn. Concentrate together all Marxist profs in their own country too. Of course put Open Borders libertarians in their own country. Fun.

3/ Who would lose their nerve? Given the actual ability to elect reps who would implement their ideas they'd be faced with higher stakes than the opportunity to status signal. They'd have to live with the results. It would be fun to see who realizes they really support madness

4/ Right now the central government of the USA has concentrated too much power in its hands to allow individual states to go that far from each other. So lots of ideological factions fight and block each other all in the same madhouse. This is unsatisfying.

5/ We would benefit if various schools of thinking concentrated together, created their own governments over only like minds. This would let them and the rest of us see the results of their sort of thinking. I think it would instill responsibility, though some disasters too.

The disasters would also be highly educational.
