I am behind enemy lines up in the PRM (People’s Republic of Massachusetts) and I don’t really see it.
I believe in the rule of thirds...there are a bunch of hardcore kernel of leftists up here, about a third. They don’t change. It would be like asking Obama or Bill Ayers to change, they aren’t going to do it.
They serve as an anchor. The other two thirds ebb and flow like a tide, maybe it is the fruits of liberalism that causes an ebb in liberalism up here, but it could just as easily be summer vacation or the Winter Olympics.
I just cannot tell.
I’m from Massachusetts too. Don’t you find Massachusetts voters to be mysterious? By that I mean that average voters here (not liberal intellectuals) tend to talk about small talk, not anything of substance and little about politics. But they have been molded into the Democrat view for generations...Democrats are for the little guy, Republicans for the rich.
I’m in MA too.
Do not see any change at all except many, many Conservatives have left the state.
