    I think you underestimate some of those things. People know about the stuff you listed and they still want him.

    Keep in mind I’m not saying this to be pro Democrat or Biden.

    What I’ve learned in school growing up in NH is that everything I was taught about the world being a secure good place was a lie. From what I’ve seen, a lot of people stay naive to reality. I went my own way and have seen a ton of fucked up shit in my life. Meanwhile there’s people just taking the narrow life path acting as if evil isn’t just as equal in amount to the good in life. A lot of the adult I knew as a kid… Aren’t the image that they portrayed. A lot of people just fake their social life. It’s really surreal and bizarre here.

    If you see reality for what it is… Life sucks. I wish I could have just been one of those average narrow-pathed people.

    Not trying to say that in an offensive way or to one up you or whatever…

      But…that’s what they said

        I’m grew up in NH too. He’s right, it’s weirdly sheltered place.

        • There are almost no black people, so people here don’t think they’re racist, but it’s largely because they have few opportunities to be.

        • They think Manchester, NH is a big scary city. Where you need to carry a gun or you’ll be killed by a homeless drifter.

        • There are surprisingly few pan handlers besides at tourist spots in the summer and along the MA border.

        • You still don’t have to wear a seatbelt or even insure your car. Because they think everyone will do the right thing in an accident. Unless you’re in Manchester (or maybe Nashua).

        • it has a numb nut Republican governor, but all Democrat federal representation.

        It’s a weird ass place if you’ve lived here long enough to experience it. I blame the radon (which decays to lead btw) and arsenic in the drinking water.
