20. Enplanements are passengers. You started by suggesting there are no red cities ("What city isn't a blue city?").

When I pointed out to you that there are red cities,
you moved the goal posts to "major airports." It is evident that only blue cities, with or without "major airports" (like small San Diego Airport), were included in the FAA shut down order. Yet you continue to dismiss that there was any partisan motivation on the Trump administration’s part, when literally everything they do is partisan.

BTW, Louisville has a Democratic mayor, and Anchorage's mayor had the endorsement of the Democratic Party when she ran as an Independent against her Republican opponent. Oklahoma City has a Republican mayor, and it's airport was not included, even though it is over four times busier than San Diego, in terms passengers or "enplanements." It makes no sense other than political retribution.
