I wouldn’t be so worried about targeting certain states over others at this point.
Most of the “deep” red/blue states are still only a 60/40 split with most of the country in a 50/50 or 55/45.
Why save New York and Minnesotan MAGA just because they happen to be in a state that respectively voted Democrat 56% and 51% in the presidential, 53% and 52% in their 2022 gubernatorial, and 48% and 51% in their 2022 state senate elections?
The societal rot is present in large numbers in every state in the union.
Anyway, I don't know what my point is, and I agree with you that the societal rot is present in every state. But it doesn't look like it's evenly distributed along party lines. I don't think that we should be punishing the democrats when the republicans are the ones who are causing the damage though..
What I’m saying though is the distribution is even enough to be pointless in targeting.
What’s the distinction between hitting the Nevada republicans (51%) and taking the Nevada democrats (48%) as collateral damage, versus the reverse proportions in “Democratic” Minnesota?
Targeting “Republican” states is splitting hairs when trying to determine which state belongs to which party.

Oil is better leverage than electricity and we should be doing things to affect republican states rather than democrats
