"One of the ugliest features of MAGA politics is the eagerness to seize on large scale accidents, disasters, and pandemics to spread conspiracy theories, invent new culture-war obsessions, and pit one region of the country against another. ...
It is not a new thing for Republicans to treat disasters in blue areas as less deserving of our collective attention than disasters in red areas."
