Lol, no blue state is building commie blocks, the most popular brand of electric car is build by a fucking fascist, and most baseball fans these days are nerdy ass white dudes who live major cities. Football really should have been the sport on the red side since that is more dominated by CHUDs.

It's meant to depict City vs Suburb. Most cities are dominated by Democrat voters even in red states. Republicans hate cities. Republicans constantly make up conspiracy theories that cities are full of crime and undocumented immigrants. That's why Trump always rants about "Democrat-run cities".
