Everything that is wrong with NH is a direct result of NH not putting up a wall keeping Massachusetts migration out.

I had to travel to New Oxford, PA (10 miles down the road from Gettysburg) for a funeral. My Aunt rode with us. She is in her early 70s, a lifelong Liberal and lived in MA her whole life until less than 5 years ago. She was one of the worst types of liberals, a Social Worker who thought it was her place to but into every aspect of someones life. At that point in time she moved to NH with my Uncle because his health was failing and they wanted to be close to their kids whom all live in the Manchester area (the kids had enough sense to leave MA 10s of years ago).
It was an 8 hour drive and I got to listen to all the liberal talking points on everything and of course how I was wrong about everything. The interesting part was about half way back yesterday she starts going off on everything wrong with NH. Too much drug abuse and they need more tax money to combat opioid addition and have better social programs, they need better state healthcare for the kids and elderly, legalization of pot, too many crazy people allowed to carry a gun without even getting a permit etc. Everything that is wrong about NH according to her are the reasons why a lot of us want to move there. I couldn't take it anymore and I told her it was people liker her who were ruining NH and the most NH residents didn't want career radical liberals from MA moving up, taking over, raising taxes and telling them what to do. That prompted a few pokes in the ribs from my wife in the passenger seat and the infamous stink eye. Then my Aunt huffed and puffed a couple of phrases about how I just would never understand, was wrong and it was hopeless to speak to me. The remainder of the ride home, about 3.5 hours, she was quiet. If I had know that was all it took to shut her up I would have said something along those lines hours earlier.
I agree with this in principle.

I know how you feel, I can no longer discuss ANYTHING involving politics with my 88 yo mother. She is a life-long Democrat. In 2008 I managed to talk her out of voting for Obama, but since then it's been back downhill.
She believes everything bad that the TV spouts about Trump. He is the most evil man alive according to her. If I even mention his name she gets very upset and irrational, so I just don't mention him.

Some of you guys are too nice. If I had to take a relative somewhere (even my mother) and she complained about my politics I'd remind her "She taught me to think for myself". I'd also say "I'm too conservative for you. I'm an evil Republican. I'm not driving you anywhere anymore; find some government program to take you".
Long lost brother? ... Take guns, for instance. I have a gun that shoots both .308 AND 7.62x51mm. If that isn't open minded, what is?
Been following this guy for quite some time. Maybe you will enjoy his Videos in NH. too.
Nah, I was probably living that dream before they were.My sister tells me "He's living your dream".
