“President Donald Trump’s move to cancel projects in Democratic states during the government shutdown has prompted a furor and cries of partisanship,” the Washington Post reports.

“But it is only the latest example of his administration’s efforts to use power in ways that damage blue states and help red ones.”

1. The fact that Biden did so many things that actually helped red states will just be used...

...as more evidence of his dementia in MAGA-world. We should all fear that Lincoln's vision of democracy will be permanently twisted into of the party, by the party, for the party.

3. Rather quickly the blue won't be able to help the red ones any longer

Then all the boats sink on the falling tide.

4. Well, certainly that must be worthy of the Nobel Prize.
