In NE, I would say that NH is not the state it used to be (too many people from my state of MA have moved to NH) but I think NH is the best we’ve got up in the NE corner.
I’m not so familiar with the south. I suspect that SC would be seen somewhat favorably.
But, overall, this country has totally lost the concept of “government should just leave me alone”. Almost anywhere you look, you find people saying, “government needs to do even more to help me”. And it’s just never enough, is it?
Yeah, NH the best north of the Carolinas, but that is not saying much at all. Vermont, only on guns.
But across the country, too many Freepers still taken in by the Deep State fakers on the supposed right. Exhibit A this week is Bannon, with Kassam and Cortes, this week pushing a grotesque redistributionist plan as “conservative” because their survey found a majority of mothers would prefer to be home with their kids, so they want to squeeze taxpayers to pay gazillions to fund stay-at-home moms and more babies. Do we think that was in the vision of any of our founders?
I would agree with NH.
I grew up in NH in the late 60's/early 70's. You are correct.
