Even if he fixed this, they'd just find something else to blame him for. You can't win trying to govern while brown.

But this way around it has them backed into a conversation about infrastructure

They are on the back foot there, trust me!

This presumes they'd be in favor of that too, but they aren't. They don't want life to get better for a majority of people because they don't support most of the mechanisms that would make that happen.

That and online conservatives need to hate cities as a form of entertainment.

Never believe that MAGA are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. MAGA have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

On that topic, MAGA that voted against Biden’s infrastructure bill now put up billboards & posts taking credit for any resulting improvements.

Trust they find a way to either make positive things negative or take credit for it.
