Here's an easy solution: blue states withhold federal taxes to the sum of the relief they should have received. MAGA likes the "No Tread On Me" slogan, fine, we can play that game too.
There is no mechanism to do this. People pay federal taxes directly to the federal government. States have no way to withhold taxes. You can't, in fact, play that game
"Being narcissistic describes a personality trait or condition marked by grandiosity, a continuous need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others."
We invented the Electoral College -- which gives disproportionate weight to smaller states in Presidential elections -- and then we've kept it for the last two centuries. So -- and more than once -- we've had elections where one candidate *won* the popular vote, but lost the Presidency. (For example, this last happened back in 2016.) *Our bad*.
It's important to note that he did this in his first term too, so keep that in mind that ANYONE who votes for him is OKAY with their fellow Americans DYING from a lack of disaster aid.
Any states that get denied disaster funding by the Trump admin should refuse to work with the secret service on security when Trump visits. For example imagine them being told that a freeway cannot be closed for the motorcade because the state police overtime budget had to be reallocated to disaster recovery.
Trump is the most defective clown to have ever held office in the federal government. He has caused more generational damage than even US foreign wars. And yet we keep him around. He is disgusting.
Billionaires keep him around by continuing to brainwash his cult with the media they own. Donald is by far the most effective dancing monkey to ever distract from their behavior looting, pillaging, and polluting the country
So done with this. If there is another presidential election, Dems should run on cutting off all Red states from literally everything. They need to pay for the death and suffering they inflicted.
They won't though. They'll run on doing 90% of whatever the conservatives who still won't vote for them want while scolding what remains of the left for not voting for them
This means a democrat president can not only cut off disaster aid to red states, following trumps lead, they could cut off highway funding, educational funds, medicaid, anything really, until they overturn voter suppression laws or abortion laws. Fuck playing fair. Go for the jugular next time.
The republicans have shown they're literally not worth that empathy and are nothing but the sick depraved remnants of the confederacy that have been inbred into the brain dead mess they are now. The kindest thing to do is euthanize every last one of them.
Impeaching doesn't do anything. He can be impeached and still remain in office. He needs to be removed. But trump is a symptom of a much bigger problem bc you still have the senators who backed him.
Or we can flush him down the drain. Or just place him directly in a sceptic tank. The only downside is that the sceptic tank might smell even worse if we did that.

yeah, well, that was one of Biden's "failings". he'd give disaster relief to everyone who needed it. he didn't check to see how they voted.
i bet ya' Harris would have done the same thing.

Those democratic-led states probably contribute far more to the disaster aid than the one that voted for him.

A city tells them that no they cannot shut down three blocks around the convention center, those police are busy policing crime.

No state is going to pass up an opportunity to give more money to cops for standing around. More money for cops is a bipartisan issue.
