I'm a staunch conservative living near Boston(I was born here).
Do you have any recommendations as to which state is best to relocate to?
Every state has rural. You'll find the government dependents (democrat once-a-monthers, and grant/endowment liberals) in the cities, but the rural areas have people who work, physically, every day to get by. The farmers could use the extra hands.
Find a farm as far away from the city as you can. If you're willing to work, they'll put you up and feed you. They won't have access to stores either, so they'll need good, honest bodies to help them.
Most of the Democrats here (except for those who win legislative seats) are conservative, and are the kind of people you'd love to be around. We don't have any big cities with all those problems, just 1.8 million people that have already learned how to deal with adversity. Plus the hunters would go wild since we are overridden with deer and other wildlife. In fact, the hunting is so good that the surrounding Indian nations decided about 1680 to make present-day WV off-limits for residence but available to all.

Safest bets from the Boston area if you want a deep rural "retreat" are northern NH, the nearby areas of Maine, and maybe Northeastern VT. Being near the Canadian border has its advantages.
Any New England location can be tricky in mid winter, since access, etc. can be problematic, but even an in-town location in a rural area is better than being stuck in a city.
If you want to be able to grow crops the far northern locations are less useful - the growing season is very short except in some south facing locations. But the prices are lower further north, and there is plenty of game in the woods.
A rural vacation home can be a good port in a storm for folks living in or near urban areas - just stock it carefully and make sure you have a way to get there.
Go to survivalblog.com. He has an area on that blog that lists the best states and why. His #1 pick is Idaho. The guy who runs the site is John Wesley Rawles, survival expert. Wrote the books "Patriots, surviving the coming collapse". Course he wrote it at least 10 years ago, maybe much more. The book is written as a fiction but has incredible amounts of practical information woven into it.
