Sadly, NH is not a blue state. All 4 members of Congress are (centrist) Democrats, but there's a state government Republican trifecta.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

I hope you're right. But at the rate they're consolidating power (and restricting voting), I still wonder if it will matter that the cult doesn't like Vance. Now, if the military really dislikes Vance - *that* could be potentially a source of harm reduction

It will change... but I don't believe it will automatically be better. Vance and Stephen Miller still have an agenda to finish implementing Project 2025.

People, is it too much to ask that you READ something before jumping in with the sadistic and unhelpful "Haha, you got what you voted for" drivel? These farmers describe themselves as progressive and did NOT vote for this. Can we try a little harder to support local food systems without the hate?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
