I have to agree. As you can tell from my name, I’m also in Mass so I’ve seen what it was like under Mitt. He destroyed what was left of the Republican party and I’m not sure it will ever truly return.
I wish people could understand what it’s like in this Commonwealth. it’s an incredible place with everything, culture, the arts, education, the mountains, the ocean, everything. But we have a truly “blue” state mentality and we need to shake things up.
I calculate ~35% of the voters in this state have a clue, the rest are too stupid to butter toast, let alone procreate or vote for that matter.
Too many people in this state vote for a living; that's the biggest problem we face here in MA or in most, if not all “blue” states.
MA does have a lot to offer and you're right, it's “true blue” to a fault. Can it be “shaken up”? IMHO, no, because the sane folks are way outnumbered.
