New England and the west coast + New Mexico and Colorado.
Except NH. NH can be the island of assholes it always has been.
"Live Fee or Die" ugh
Living will cost you $5000/month. Otherwise we whack you. There are no other benefits.
5k a month? Ooooo.. lookit you, Mr. Mansion on 1A in Rye..
LOL!
Please don't leave us behind. Maybe we can cut a deal and cut the state in half?
Bold. Let's take the half that doesn't suck.
That may be a dated opinion, I’ve been in NH since 2014 and it’s always felt like a nice place to me. Sure, Vermont is cooler, but we’ve got like 23 miles of sweet ocean coastline!
Most of the assholes here seem to arrive in 7 row SUVs from Massachusetts. Also Dodge RAMs.
NH's got a lot of guns, might be worth having them on your side. Or is it really just an island of irredeemable assholes?
Am native Granite Stater.
It wouldn't be so bad if the reactioinary Libertarian jackasses that infested the state some 15 years ago would kindly fuck back off to wherever they came from.
Yes, we have had our share of right wing assholery - most famously the Leob family - William and then his wife Nacky, they ran the Manchester Union Leader newspaper and were die-hard conservatives.. but both have been dead for decades now.
The no income and sales tax thing (while being taxed up the ass on property) attracts a metric ton of right wing idiots from elsewhere.. ad they move in and live high on the hog - UNTIL - they hit retirement, then they can't get fast enough out to a place with lower property taxes.
We're actualy solidly aligned as New Englanders except for the low-income, low education, reactionary folks up in Coos county that lost their livelihoods when the paper mills shut down decades ago.. they are the ones you'll see rolling coal and driving with confederate flags in the windows of their rusted out pickups..
