Seems like as good as campaign slogan as anything:
Vote republican if you want to sacrifice your children’s future to the god of retribution.

Make your choice:
Vote Red for Retribution.

The online Weather Channel forecast for the Northeast explains why the cloudy sky here is more like a thick haze aloft: fires to the west of us. The Upper Midwest is even more affected.
