CO2 emissions are a function of wealth, and as far as I know, there isn't a difference in the wealth of Red vs Blue teams. Wealth is a function of free markets (capitalism) with rule enforcement and high trust. Wealthy economies spend fossil fuels to achieve their standard of living.
There is no difference between economic well-being and fossil fuel consumption, and there are zero examples of countries that have decoupled that relationship.
I expect that relationship to decouple at some future date, but this isn't the future.
