I remind people Biden intentionally gave the majority of investment and funding (IRA, CHIPS act, Infrastructure) to red areas of this country.

They voted Piggy into power who dismantled and reversed those investments.

President Joe Biden's policies toward red states (Republican-led or Republican-voting states) have involved a paradox: while his major legislative packages passed largely without Republican votes, the resulting federal investments have disproportionately flowed into red states and rural or exurban Republican districts. At the same time, the administration frequently clashed with red-state governors on cultural, health, and regulatory issues.

Major Legislative Investments in Red States

Despite stiff opposition from GOP lawmakers, flagship legislative achievements of the Biden administration directed massive funding and private-sector capital into red states:
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CHIPS and Science Act: According to analysis by Brookings Metro, roughly 73% of announced private strategic sector investments (clean tech, semiconductors, and biomanufacturing) landed in counties that voted for Donald Trump, driven by lower land costs, availability, and business-friendly environments.
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Pumped hundreds of billions into infrastructure projects nationwide, with Axios reporting that over half a trillion dollars in jobs and infrastructure campaigns reached Republican and swing states, even as local GOP representatives who voted against the bills regularly attended groundbreakings.

Piggy has undone a good amount of that

---- em, stop investing in them let them starve
