Reply to comment by Dependent_Ad_5546 in Failed meme but NH placement is precious by WoobieBee

Most of the New England hillbillies I know have no love for authoritarianism on either side.

VT has significantly more gun ownership per capita than NH or ME and isn’t exactly a right-wing paradise.

I am honestly just impressed that the creator understands that New England is not a State itself. There are A LOT of people in this country that think it is a State.

I don't judge, but I lived in Florida for a year, and twice I was asked what state New Hampshire was in.

People from California ask the same thing. I have family their and we would get a similar response. Most would only understand if you mentioned boston or NYC. Even New York state was a mystery to a lot of them.

I support New England statehood. Maybe we as a people should focus on combining the New England states, the Virginias, the Dakota's, the Carolinas... #weneedfewerstates

Only as of recently. VT literally had no laws restricting firearms until 2018, when they passed mag restrictions, background checks and red flag. They were the last state to hold the title of zero gun control. They're still a constitutional carry state and they don't even have a permitting system in place.
