I drive through Central and Western Massachusetts a lot. Lots of Trump signs there but heading North through North Hampton all I see are Black Lives Matter Signs. I would reckon the black population of the Hampton area is about 0.1% but then I realize this is where all the College teachers from Amherst , Smith and the rest of the Liberal Schools are. So much concern amongst them!

Everyone thinks MA is 100% liberal. As a 35 year southern NH resident I know it is not. When Scott Brown ran against Warren for US Senate it was interesting. I happened to drive through the Central MA down to Sturbridge and back up through Worchester. Out in the country and suburbs, all the signs were for Brown. As soon as you crossed the city limits into Worchester, all the signs changed to Warren.

When I went to the Trump rally in Manchester last August, I would bet at least half the people there were from MA. Here in NH the liberal areas are all centered around UNH(Durham), Dartmouth(Hanover), Keene State and Plymouth. These are all the college towns.

The other more liberal area of NH is the central part of the state in the Lakes Region. These are the retirees from other states that now live year round at the lake front/former vacation home. They moved here and then want to change our tax system from a system heavily relying on real estate taxes to an income tax. This is because the waterfront houses on the big lakes pay all the taxes. Check out Tuftonboro or Moultonboro or Wolfeboro.

These towns actually have one of the lowest real estate tax rates in the state of NH. It is because every lake front house is over $1 million and up to $10 million in value. Therefore, houses that you can not see the lake that are even 1/4 mile from the water are the least taxed houses in the state. Therefore, towns like Tuftonboro, NH with their no income tax, no sales tax and low property tax rate make it literally the least expensive tax burden town in the USA.
