The Editorial Against Kelly Ayotte, will be a multi part series as writing the case against her would take nearly 2,000 words. The first version acts as a first-public-draft.

My original written copy began just six weeks before Election Day, as New Hampshire is under the impression that they are going to choose which direction the state will be heading. Kelly Ayotte started the border taunting in July of 2023 that “we are one election away from becoming Massachusetts”. Ayotte is misleading you, what she really means is projecting her power as “we are one election away to Stalin or Mussolini” with her tirade against people that aren’t like-her. Since this draft, Ayotte’s Facebook page for her campaign blocked access to The Hopeless Autistic.

People say New Hampshire is a “purple” state. I still say we are a “red” state. I love politics, as a “special interest” but I always loved to talk about the details and policy, not which side you are going to be on and being ostracized. I grew up in Londonderry, that outside the school district, was very conservative. Well I didn’t know how conservative people really were until I moved to Merrimack. At the time I relocated, it was nearly 23,000 residents (less than Londonderry, but larger in land by several figures),  but recently I read it’s closer to 30,000 residents, thanks to Londonderry bureaucrats leaving to push so-called “affordable housing”, that has pissed off the locals fearing their property taxes would rise.

The other issue is the locals themselves. It skews older, but don’t worry, they vote Republican. But not the country-club Republican types that you see in Londonderry. These are the Morton Downey Jr types, misfits, ecmonomiclly displaced, that really got permission to act very threatening during the Tea Party Movement. Their infantile paranoia is very common particularly with the Turnpike,  In case of the Turnpike the Downey Jr/Tea Party mess, was really scary to watch on public access. The anger of the town’s people against the State’s DOT was at the level that would be comparable to January 6th if there was a baseline back then. For ol obese men, they were showing their “passion” in public hearings.

The town councilors that are elected in March have no sense of governance, they come off as student councilors, such as providing time-checks when opening public comment, not understanding that minutes in time, and minutes in meeting summaries are not the same thing. The town management of recent history was extremely condsencding, a twenty something citizen was treated like as student while the management acted as the principal and the fake “Mr. [Bleep]” professionalism.

The level of immaturity of our so-called leaders was alarming. Some of the locals that I won’t name here come off entitled. They live on less than an acre of land and they feel entitled to burn trash in a tight neighborhood. Sympathy is barely low, Empathy is non existent, apathy is very apparent.

The level to outrage to any random issue only takes a few seconds. Factor the super secret private Facebook groups that enables anyone to say anything without any confirmation leads to rumors and municipal gossip.

While Merrimack doesn’t represent New Hampshire, and New Hampshire doesn’t represent Merrimack per se, it’s a good community of a snapshot of the extreme ends.

I want to end with this: I completely sympathize the nature of the blue collared nature of this town. However I do not empathize their justification of wild behavior in politics as discourse as the norm. Some of the members most extreme political discourse would polticize anyone else who would do the similar behavior, and be punished (see the 2015 situation with me and the local PD)

I am not saying that no town has politics, it’s when everything gets politicized…so now I come off mocking MAGA Country, but what about the donkeys?
