I am still surprised at how many New Hampshire citizens do not understand the Koch funded Free State Project, how it has captured the GOP and our state government.

Knowledge is power. They can be beat back.

"Wealth tends to corrupt the mind and to nourish its love of power, and to stimulate it to oppression. History proves this to be the spirit of the opulent."

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

A new one: In NH, politicians like to use the tyranny of averages to convince people their financial struggles are illusory. While real solutions require real effort and collaboration, tapping into a national reservoir of hatred is easy. And for the GOP, this is the golden age of that kind of easy.
How’s life on Easy Street treating you, New Hampshire? • New Hampshire Bulletin
Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s not wrong about New Hampshire’s collection of accolades from think tanks and special interests, but what she doesn’t mention is the tyranny of averages underlying her rosy picture.

You can tell Trump is extremely nervous about losing the propaganda war in Minnesota, which is all that really matters to him.

He opens with a rhetorical question about “the people of Minnesota,” not just the communist scum or whatever. He knows regular people hate what’s happening in the state.
