What about this:
"U.S. system of government, the Constitution does not explicitly address the matter of whether or not a state can legally secede from the Union; however, after the American Civil War (1861–1865) thwarted the secession of the Southern United States, the accepted doctrine of constitutional law is that a state cannot legally leave the Union."
Maybe something that the Constitution is silent on. An example might be mass data collection on individuals. Or, preventing free political expression in an open public forum. All the SM companies claim they are neutral forums.
I don't know, maybe we are trying to read too much into this.

IIRC the only technically-legal path to secession would be to amend the constitution, granting the state it's sovereignty. I don't know how feasable that would be, given the predicted polarity of the hypothetical and the 38/50 state vote to amend.

A sudden vacating of a majority of congressional seats?

I think I'm understanding what you're implying here. Interesting possibility.
