Reply to comment by chait1199 in Massholes are moving north to NH at record levels by EgonEggnog

Can confirm. Most people moving “to” NH from southern New England are moving there out of a perceived political kinship. People in Southern New England talk about NH and Maine as though they are the motherland. And it is always in the context of right wing politics or general conservative points of view. No body is moving to NH to “turn it blue”. If anything they’re moving there to turn it red. This is anecdotal of course

They should honestly just move down south or to the mountain west if they want to live in an actual conservative state. Can’t imagine how fast they’d sprint back to NE after realizing how terrible red America is. Perhaps they’d actually learn (the hard way) to appreciate where they live.

This is always my point about New England conservatives. The hardest red of red New Englander is little snowflake SJW compared to a Bible Belt run-of-the-mill average everyday conservative (hyperbole). Even more so for New Englanders who are catholic and think they are hardcore conservative. The religious right views right wing Catholics as performing conservative cosplay. So when I see the rebel confederate flag in New England I have to sigh, then laugh.

I feel like most “conservatives” who move here from southern New England are performing conservative cosplay.
