@gwynnion What makes it especially counterproductive here in New England is that everyone knows there's a depopulation crisis. Vermont is practically empty. And New Hampshire is losing people at a faster rate due to housing costs, which as I alluded to before is largely due to rich out-of-staters buying up properties for second homes/short-term rentals. Even most Republicans here know this, but they feel obliged to follow the racist BS coming from the Christian nationalists.
