Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

Witness sending 2 slum lords and a wanna be as negotiators to avert a world war.

Both sides arguments are lazy and sophomoric.
 
Maybe try something different. You have a state government that is actively hostile towards its only city. Other states have come to appreciate what engines for growth cities are these days. Nashville is a great example. On a more modest scale Louisville.
 
Decades of state resistance to funding requests (e.g., blocking or delaying bonds, sales tax measures, and ARPA funds) contributed to the 2022 collapse that left ~150,000 residents without reliable water. Critics, including city leaders and civil rights groups, point to the Republican-led legislature's reluctance to invest in the majority-Black, Democratic-led city as a key factor. This led to federal emergency declarations and a court-appointed manager (JXN Water) taking over operations with ~$600 million in federal funds. Ongoing battles over control (e.g., proposed regional authorities with limited city seats) have created uncertainty and delayed full local recovery.

Amazing way to treat your biggest city. Fortunately, the federal government stepped in with money mostly provided by taxpayers from blue states.
 
I was a republican until the summer of 2016. What has happened to the GOP in the past ten years is a descent into madness unmatched in American history. It is hard to find examples in other countries of anything similar. The party has become a cult to a cartoonish buffoon. A buffoon whose fragile ego did not permit acceptance that he lost an election fair and square. A buffoon who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy and who has been found liable for doing precisely that. A buffoon who tried to convince voters that dark-skinned immigrants were eating their pets.
