Pretty much, although they do exist unfortunately. Some of the counties run red, I unfortunately live in one, but day to day you wouldn’t notice and the House rep is always Democrat anyways.

I live in a red(er) county too. The most 'extreme' folks mostly just have rude/obnoxious signs on their trucks and houses. I think, seeing that the whole state voted blue in the last 2 presidential elections shows that we deeply oppose everything Trump stands for, and if the whole party is going to cater to him, then they have no place here. I believe people like Baker and Romney offered a healthy balance to the state's politics, but people like them don't seems to represent Republicans anymore.

Yeah, I agree. I voted for Baker, but once he was done it’s Democrat all the way. I wouldn’t even vote for Baker for Congress because no way I’m sending another Republican to Washington, even if he was a moderate here.

Yeah I still couldn’t bring myself to vote R with Baker. Even when he was re-elected, I think I went for the Green candidate (because the D candidate was so unbelievably awful. I’m don’t even remember his name)

Yeah, I wasn't against Baker, just the crowd he decided to stand with. If he went/goes independent then way less issues casting a vote for him.
He could totally do that in this state, and I am sure he would have more backing in both votes and monetarily than the GOP here. It would also keep the democrats on their toes.

Literally none of the counties run red. Not a single one since 1988.

Don't just look at presidential general election results. Plymouth County is probably the reddest county. It went for Diehl vs Warren. There are some extreme Republicans in our state legislature, and in town government (like the January 6 insurrectionist elected to the Braintree school board. To quote The Wolf, let's not star sucking each other's dicks just yet. There's plenty to fix in MA too.

Yeah there are definitely some smaller areas that run red. Not by a lot, but it happens. Like the town I live in and some surrounding ones in central MA. Probably should have said towns instead of counties?
