This is schismogenesis, and it's how humans have behaved for as long as we have records.
Something similar happens in software projects - it's called forking. When some folks no longer want to develop code a certain way, they walk away and take a copy of the code with them, to develop a different way. One of the classic examples is late 1980s GNU Emacs and XEmacs, when nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqeyszugs46q4ngd8tgeysnkwve20n9wewj42lac9cp7s2jrk52u2qyct9ta (nprofile…t9ta) decided nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqfznqtkx4lu37rkshgqztzx6fmc5lflnlrgert424t7hqxt6snmmsu56waf (nprofile…6waf) was too much of a PITA to work with and went his own way.
Forking a project doesn't make problems magically go away. But it can reduce interpersonal friction and let both sides get on with whatever they want.
It might be time for NATO to fork away from the US. Let them go in parallel and see which one dies first.
It might be time for news organizations to fork away from the White House press pool. The benefit of being able to ask Trump and Leavitt questions seems slight if the answers are just going to be lies, or if they refuse to answer at all.
Fork it. Walk away.
