"I am a resident of Massachusetts, I’m proud of her history, but ashamed of our present day political situation."

The founder of the family surname came ashore in Massachusetts in 1630 (though he eventually ended up in Connecticut). Family members fought proudly in the Revolutionary War. Produced a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

I'm sure those of my forebears are spinning rapidly beneath their tombstones over what has happened to the Northeast states.

Maybe if we conservatives can ramp up some large state’s economy, and produce the usual conservative-state low housing prices, all the lib New Englanders will abandon their now irreverseably-fouled political nest for that one, and we conservatives can move back in and fix it.

The downside is that it might mean abandoning a major state like Texas with known conservative roots to the libs. The only upside of that downside is that even Texas is being ruined by illegal immigration, so we might not be abandoning American values in the process. Besides, the New England borders are shorter than the Texas border, so they’ll be easier to defend while we rebuild classical liberalism. Then, we can go back and re-liberate whichever state they took. Without the strong infrastructure that conservative politics brings, lib-state will become unlivable eventually, so there wouldn’t be much residual lib or multicultural population left to resist. New England is small enough that they can keep it running (sort of) even in the face of political incompetence.

My former hometown is the only town I have ever encountered where they fly the UN flag on the town common. It was downhill from the American flag on an equal-height pole, but even that may have changed by now.

The UN flag is also flown at the same height as the American one on the lawn in front of the Fine Arts Center of UMass in that same town.
