LOL. according to what measures? because the REAL GDP numbers of each state during 2020 doesn't support your argument regarding ANY of the States ("Red", "Blue", or "Purple") having an economy ANYWHERE NEAR being "destroyed".They were. All about ruining the booming Trump economy.Once again none of the State economies were "destroyed" during the pandemic, all 50 states economies continued to function during 2020-2021, with varying levels and durations of shutdowns.Democratic governors destroyed the economy by lockdowns over a 98% survivable virus.The economy still wasn't DESTROYED., our GDP never dropped to ZERO, our Unemployment Rate nor poverty rate never reached 100%, our State Economy continued to function throughout the pandemic and is currently recovering.I guess I did, because I live in Nevada, our state's economy wasn't "destroyed", damaged yes, and it's recovering fairly well now.I guess you didn't visit Nevada a year ago.First off, none of the states economies were “destroyed” during the pandemic
Did you miss the 30% unemployment rate? Did you also not see the lines one-hundred plus cars deep wrapping around several city blocks of people waiting to pick up food at their kids' schools multiple times per day for months?
Apparently we have a very different definition of destroyed because that sure looked like destruction to me.
Perhaps you have a different definition of DESTROYED than the rest of the English-speaking population of the planet does?
Even Nevada, which is heavily dependent on tourism only saw a 4.6% year over year drop in Real GDP from 2019 (highest real GDP on record) to 2020 (pandemic), characterizing that as "destroyed" is like characterizing a car as "destroyed" because it has a broken headlight.

Tone the hyperbole down and look at OBJECTIVE measures for a change, you *might* learn something.
