SARS-CoV-2 hates the color blue

Over at Instapundit: a post titled "The Pandemic Seems to Be Hitting Trump's Enemies." The post focuses on California's plight: the state appears to be taking fire from many different angles as a result of the pandemic. Most of this can be chalked up to over-regulation, stupid laws, and a leftie tendency to shoot oneself in the foot. Glenn Reynolds makes the point that Governor Gavin Newsom is demanding aid from Washington now, but not so long ago, he was trumpeting California's status as a "nation-state." You can't have it both ways, Newsom, you idiot. As far as I'm concerned, you and your failed state can sink to the bottom of the ocean.
