I think blue states and cities are in abusive relationships with the real Welfare queens: the right wing and Maga.

Huge amounts of money are sent from blue to red areas constantly. State legislators spend city revenues on the rural right wing, and our federal representatives send money from the productive blue states to the Welfare queen red states that do little but take, complain about the liberals who are funding their lifestyle, and then continue to push our country further to the right.

One solution to this is like dealing with any relationship with an abuser: cut them off in every way possible. Blue cities and counties should refuse to send money to red counties and let the Maga snowflakes pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Blue states should do everything in their power to stop sending revenue through the federal government to red states. Take their power away from them.

Maybe some experience of what happens when their generous neighbors stop putting up with their shit might make a difference.
