People keep saying "Natioinal Divorce" like that is possible.
It would quickly devolve into a full blown hot civil war.
Millions die, and at best 2 weakened and war-torn nations emerge, with China being the lone super-power on the planet.

The one variable that would make me have hope this wouldn't happen is that it would quickly lead to revolt within the seceding states, once their US-federal aid dried up. Welfare benefits like SNAP, Social Security, Section 8, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. are still popular for huge portions of the populations in these states. I imagine they would not go quietly into the night, which would thwart a larger civil war.

You are correct up to there.
But 2 weakened nations would not emerge. There is no feasible way for this country to divide itself in two and maintain sovereignty for each. The monetary currency situation alone is not feasible.
What would happen is that one side would win and the other side would have to take it and comply (like the first time around in 1865), or the country would be taken over by someone else or by multiple someone else's.
People seem to not understand that America is not like other countries that have balkanized. Even a country like Germany. We're too big and powerful for that. The military is too big, the economy is too big, the currency is too big, the geographical landscape is too big,
