I think a blue president in a red state is going to be divisive no matter who he is. I also think that there's been absolutely no benefit to not being divisive up until now, and now, the Biden administration is starting to point out where the money goes.

And this is not going to be what you want to hear, but it's the strategically correct move: as a blue voter in a red state, the Biden administration suffers very little if you decide not to vote. Where they benefit is in aiding potential Trump voters enough that they decide not to vote. The goal with the Boebert adventure was not to make everyone go "golly gee I've been so wrong I'm Dark Brandon all the way now" but to make everyone go "hmmph. Well at least he's not as awful as Hilary would have been, all politicians suck, I have better things to do with my time on a Tuesday afternoon than endorse this system."
