I understand. But, it is personal to me as I just retired in April after 5 1/2 years of commuting from southern New Hampshire into Mass on a daily basis.
There is something really “special” about the Massholes.
I live in Massachusetts, not strictly a native, but I regard myself as such after living there for so long. (My father retired from the USN and moved up to MA back in the Seventies)
I detest the politics there, it turns my stomach and raises my blood pressure on a daily basis. But what I have come to understand is that liberalism is like a cancer, and it is spreading, and like a cancer, a state line neither defines it nor stops it.
I have long thought liberalism is the greatest threat to this Republic, bar none.
