Right here in SC I had a disagreement with a fellow freeper about meddling in local politics. We’re both refugees from Ct. She backed a NJ transplant, retiree for mayor. I called him a carpetbagger and told her to leave the government to the natives and consider yourself a tourist passing through. Right there is the problem. When blue state refugees move to red states - even right wingers - they feel the need to supplant the natives to “make things better”.
Typical liberal philosophy: nothing is ever good enough and they have to constantly push to “make things better”.
“Making things better” COSTS MONEY. So everyone winds up being fleeced for more taxes and loses more freedom because some lib just can’t be satisfied.
