We better start saving Massachusetts as a necessary part of saving the entire country. It isn’t like a dotted line of the map of a state is some kind of protection against the ravages of Leftism.

You don’t want to wake up one day like the people of many states and find yourself griping that “It is the Leftists from places like [INSERT FAVORITE LEFTIST PUNCHING BAG STATE HERE] who have polluted and destroyed my state!”

It is what they say in New Hampshire about Massachusetts. It is what some people up in Maine say. All states around California and even as far away as Texas and Florida say it about California, and it is what they used to say in Vermont about New York. (They don’t say it anymore, because there so few conservatives left up there to say it and be heard)

Even Massachusetts was considered conservative at one point, and could elect a Senator like Henry Cabot Lodge. By the time my father ran for state office back around 1980, even though he was a plank owner in the “Citizens for Limited Taxation”, his only chance of getting elected was to try to run as a Democrat, and my father was no Democrat by any measure. (The voters knew that, and the result was expected)

Even Texas, regarded as conservative, has influential and powerful pockets of Leftists in places like Austin. And those are homegrown, as are the ones up in Maine. They don’t need any “outside help”.

Point is, we better start fighting it everywhere rather than thinking we can allow the contagion to fester somewhere hoping the dotted state line will quarantine and keep it isolated there there.

We have seen how well that works.
