Given their posting history, I’m sure OP will find a way to say it’s Biden and the Democratic party’s fault.

Looking at the states through this lens is like all the articles that blame “congress” while ignoring which people in which party of which half of congress caused the issue of the day.

Best you’ll get is a half assed hand wave of people mumbling about Karl Marx like that helps anything.
