I think you have just discovered a major difference between yourself and I.

Conservatives want to flood the airwaves with hate speech, calls to violence, and racism without any responsibility. Their violent rhetoric results in violent attacks and assassination attempts, terrorism, hate crimes, and kidnapping attempts. Meanwhile they all clamber to suppress and censor opinions that are not their own. They say the only legitimate news is the news which is customized around their political beliefs. They promote verifiably false information as gospel, and have adopted a delusion of the masses. This is not aligned with the first amendment of the USA constitution. This is fascism.

Liberals believe that everyone has the right to say whatever they want, and believe in holding people accountable for what they say, especially when their speech hurts someone. This is 100% aligned with the 1st amendment.

These Republican Libertarian men you are rushing to defend (Jason Osborne, Jeremy Kauffman) use the N-word because they enjoy punching down from their positions. They use these terms intentionally to virtue signal to their racist base. It is designed as a subtle reminder of the southern strategy which the Republican Party has embraced since overt racism became “against the rules”.

Sorry, passing legislation which helped tens of millions of Americans gain access to healthcare is the opposite of “diabolical”. Reducing pain, suffering, and death of Americans is the result of improved access to healthcare.

Donald Trump is credibly accused of committing many felony crimes. No American is above the law.

Kavanaugh was credibly accused of sexually assaulting multiple women. Investigating a SCOTUS nominee for credible rape accusations is just.

You are living in an upside down reality.

Billionaires pay strategists and think tanks to come up with lists of phrases and talking points. Fox News, Breitbart, WSJ, talk radio, and politicians repeat the talking points. Republican voters hear this and repeat the lists too. That is how it has worked my entire life.

Republicans are a centralized monolith run from the top down which engages in perfect political strategy. Their policies benefit the top, and are wildly unpopular, so they funded down ballot races to change the political rules.

Democrats are more grass roots and do not play politics the same way. They are resigned to winning elections with popular policies.

+10% seats for Republicans is by definition, not the same patchwork. It is by definition and intent, a Gerrymander.

Using a straw man argument like, NPR is a waste of money, is bad faith argument.

Stop worshipping republicans. We are simply talking facts and you’re melting down.

The independents in NH determine the outcome of our elections. They are not happy with MAGA candidates.

With Burns, Leavitt, and Bolduc on the ballot Internal polls run by GOP have indicated that NH is a lost cause for them.

State house politics depends on voter information. If the independents learn who the Republicans are fielding for state positions a they will give us a Democratic state. Thing is, voter apathy on state level stuff is huge. Free staters and criminals and whackos get a free pass for state positions…. That and working class are excluded.

The one ballot measure is all about getting rid of a defunct public servant job. I think it is considered to be common sense and widely considered a safe yes vote.

The other vote is about whether or not to have a constitution convention to modify the state constitution. This question is automatically brought up every ten years by law. Last time this ballot measure failed- and it will probably fail again. Most people do not want the constitution changed by a group of politicians Willy nilly. Changes to the constitution can be proposed and voted for individually, which seems to be everyone’s preference.

As a side note, last year many of our Republican legislators tried to change the constitution of our state to allow tax dollars to fund religious schools.
