Biden's democracy saving strategy: investing in municipalities

Joe Biden hasn't talked much about this but he's done quite a lot to subvert fascist republican governors and have likely won lots of bipartisan fans: invest directly in cities instead of giving money to states. If you give money to a state like Texas for covid relief, they will waste it by focusing all the money on white rural and suburb areas, skipping African American communities and bigger democratic cities. Joe instead has been moving it directly to the cities of all sizes so that the corrupt republican governors can't play politics with it like always. Excellent long game strategy, if the dems can keep this up for 20 years it will likely work swimmingly to dominate the areas that are needed and eventually start to swing gerrymandered districts. Kudos, Biden crushes it out of the park, winning again. And he sadly won't even live to see the fruits.

This seems like smart politics.

So much so that the Republicans did the opposite under Reagan.

Since Biden is the anti-Reagan it makes good sense.
