Reducing the federal government would be easy because states would completely control things like education, trade and commerce, and communications to a much larger degree and the federal government to a much smaller degree.

This goes on forever; I'm not going to. But let's start with letting states "completely control things like education." She might want to talk to her party's frontrunner for the Presidential nomination:

"We will end the leftist takeover of school discipline and juvenile justice," Trump says in a five-minute pre-recorded campaign video released Monday....

"Many of these carjackers and criminals are 13, 14, and 15 years-old. I will order the Education and Justice Departments to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors," he added. "So when troubled youth are out of control, they're out on the streets and they're going wild, we will stop it. The consequences are swift, certain and strong and they will know that."

We're back 40 years ago to "wilding" and the Central Park crime that falsely arrested innocent children and charged them as heinous monsters.  What could go wrong?

"I will not hesitate to send in federal assets including the National Guard until safety is restored," Trump says.

Which is a sure way to shrink the federal government, n'est pas?  Well, in Greene's vision it would be, because she would eliminate the very department Trump is going to use as a national police force (let's overlook the fact DOE has no law-enforcement authority at all, shall we? Trump's ignorance of what government does and how it does it is matched only by Greene's):

Red state schools would bring back prayer in school and require every student to stand for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance while blue states would likely eliminate the anthem and pledge all together and replace them with anthems and pledges to identity ideologies… https://t.co/z6rzwh3fQM

Apparently this "divorce" would eliminate the Constitution, too? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Details, details....  Wait, no, it can't.  The federal government has to provide for the common defense (see below) and Congress has to continue to regulate interestate commerce.  Well, more or less; and only along lines MTG approves of, because this is not fascism, it's a democracy.  But a democracy of one.

Red states would not have to abide by climate cult lies.

Red states would be completely free to build and use fossil fuel energy for their citizens.

Oil, natural gas, clean coal, and nuclear power would very likely be growing strong energy sources for red states.

Red states… https://t.co/zSVPljJuLn

Ein volk, ein reich, ein...atmosphere and water system?  So, in a divorce, who gets the rivers that run from Minnesota to Louisiana?  Or New Mexico to Texas, for that matter?  You get the idea.  And are we now imagining that atmosphere stops at the political boundaries?  Or basic nuisance laws reasoning that determine how your use of your land affects my use next door, won't apply to state boundaries and environmental laws?  Because that's too...woke, even though the legal principle goes back to the English common law?

Of course interstate trade, travel, and state relations would continue.

However in red states, they could have different rules about store product placement on national store’s shelves. In red states, I highly doubt Walmart could place sex toys next to children’s toothbrushes.

So interstate trade, travel, and boundaries continue...how, again? On an ad hoc basis? As the states decide? Or even federal districts? Is this where we point out that Georgia is a purple state, if not blue by now? And that Greene's opinions don't reflect the opinions of the majority of the citizens of Georgia?

"I highly doubt Walmart could place sex toys next to children’s toothbrushes."  Are they doing that now?  I'll admit I don't shop at Walmart, but even my local grocery store doesn't sell "sex toys" next to the toothbrushes.  I don't think they even sell sex toys at all.
 

Law enforcement would likely look different in red and blue states.

Red states would likely have highly supported law enforcement officers and well funded agencies. Police officers would be well trained, paid, equipped, and seen as heroes once again, not portrayed as racists… https://t.co/3jNZ3d5STn

I.e., police could jail blacks and browns without consequence, but white people rioting in D.C. are de facto innocent and can never be proven guilty. I also love that the DOD "would have to remain." Not sure under what Constitutional principle that's true, or why it would "have to" at all, since we're shredding so many Constitutional provisions to give MTG her own private Idaho, but...okay.

Oddly, no word on what happens to Medicare and Social Security....

This is where I give up.  This kind of crap would embarass a 5th grader.  Holy crap, but this woman is stupid.  I mean, you know it's bad when this makes more sense:
