The founder of the original american nazi party advocated doing this, except with southern states.
While I am not a liberal, I will attempt an answer.
Short version. Government is addictive.
Long Version.
Most conservatives I know are mad at the government because the government takes stuff from us as BigRed stated. They take our money and property. Most conservatives I know tend to live in more rural areas and actually own stuff. While there are plenty of maps showing where the democrats live. We see them on this site. When I have conversations with conservatives, they are not just upset that their stuff is taken it usually follows that that stuff is then given to someone who didn't earn it through a welfare state that is out of control.
Most of the liberals live in more urban environments. Most of them don't have stuff. Sure there are exceptions, but those exceptions are probably not the ones we are seeing in the streets. They are upset because the government is not giving them enough for what they view as injustices to them by the rich who have denied them to opportunity to get ahead through systemic oppression and they view the police as the enforcers of that oppression. They have been the most affected by COVID not just in deaths but also in economic loss because the lower paying jobs are not coming back.
The conversations among rich liberals seems to be they now wish to move to the suburbs. If that occurs, then there will be even more pressure on inner cities as more rot sets in. They look to the government also to right the wrongs of the past. They believe Trump is a fascist, and all the other things. They just have money and things.
For both sets of liberals the problem with the government is the opposite side of the coin than conservatives. The government is not taking enough stuff fast enough.
This is going to get much worse before it gets better.
We should keep it classy in here folks.
We may have heathens rioting, but we should be careful of the way we categorize protesters and even ourselves through this.
Lots of folks reading this. We don't need blankets thrown over "all of them" or "all of us."

Dad was in the Sea Bees in the South Pacific in WWII. He knew how to build fortifications.Hhhhmmmmm, sounds well planned.
I heard on the news this morning, and can't remember the city, someone drove by a federal building and shot at security officers. One federal officer killed, one wounded.

My Dad as well. He spent most of his time on New Caledonia as an electrician. After the war was over his ship got rammed in harbor. Several sailors were lost but my Dad got rescued with only the clothes on his back. Salute to all Sea Bees!
