GOPer Quietly Admits Trump Cuts to Blue States Will Hurt MAGA Voters
Well, guess what? It turns out that the latter project spans Washington, Oregon, and Montana, a state that voted pretty overwhelmingly for Trump. Montana’s Republican governor, Greg Gianforte, has hailed the project as a boon to his state, declaring that it will create “good-paying Montana jobs” and allow the state to be a “leader in energy innovation.”
If Bloomberg’s report is correct, and this does end up getting canceled, that’s quite a way to own the libs.
What all this really reveals is the folly and ugliness of placing own-the-libs sadism at the core of one’s political and governing strategy. The brazen corruption of this threat to cancel projects only in blue states, of course, is the point. MAGA Republicans are meant to thrill to the spectacle of Trump wielding this tactic to inflict pain only on blue America, and more importantly, to his open flaunting of the explicit, targeted nature of it all.
