I have lib relatives in MA and ME. I’ve asked them “why do people listin to the Kennedys”? They said ”the Kennedys know.” I say “know what”?! Lib relatives ”you don’t know anything about New England! You don’t live here so you don’t get it”. These are direct quotes. We just go around in circles.
That made me laugh. You dont need to be a New Englander to understand the people of ME & esp MA are a bunch of gullible saps. They want to be lied to and the Kennedy’s (et al) are very willing to oblige them. Dont let them talk down to you, keep pushing and youll soon discover they have no defensible position.
