I have never been more gratetul to be in TN and escaped Mexifornia!
Well, I was really grateful during Covid. You wouldn’t think anything was going on in the rest of the country, it seemed like business as usual most of the time.
I would get a culture shock when I went over to NC for medical appointments. Not to mention, having my cataract surgery cancelled 3 times!
I live at the beginning of an area that is full of hollers and mountain folk that have retained their independent and community-minded mindset. It was REALLY apparent during the hurricane efforts - NO trust in FEMA and suspicion on any government action. They rallied together and shared what they had with neighbors, making clear anyone they don’t know will be met at the holler entrance with weapons. I was proud and appalled at the same time, LOL. Not really appalled, just amazed at what they thought they can get away with.
So I think they’ll be the last to submit to the camps. And I’m proud to be one of them, even though I escaped holler life a couple of years ago (not everything going on was something to be proud of)
NH is big on limited government as well, and during the Covid lockdowns, we were among the first states to open up.
Lots of leftists wearing masks even today, but even the mask mandate Sununu put into effect had so many exceptions to it that you were more likely to be exempt from wearing a mask than having to.
Plus a lot of businesses wouldn’t comply. The one I liked the best was the one which had a sign in their door that said *We mask by choice, not by mandate*.
I walked in and saw no one wearing a mask and asked if it was OK and they said yes, and I took mine off immediately.
I also walked the wrong way down the supermarket aisles. Got a few dirty looks, but who cares. I’d rather cross where some infected person had been for a short breath or two, than walk in their wake behind them constantly breathing in their infected air. Think of following a smoker or someone wearing too much perfume. I figured any virus particles would be the same.
