This may just be an issue of interpretation, but I do believe the main reason the others are true is because we haven't gone off the liberal deepend in terms of spending. It's one thing I'm definitely proud of that Massachusetts has maintaining a balanced budget as a duty of the governor's office enumerated in our state constitution.

We're still very liberal, but other blue states can still learn a lot from us in terms of fiscal responsibility.

>Last time they tried to hold a “free speech” Charlottesville type rally up here like 100 people showed up, and something like 30,000 people showed up

Now that is proper free speech. :)

EDIT. And without getting too much into it, I'm with you on the gun rights thing too. Although I am more staunchly pro-2A, I recognize the LARPing weirdos you're referring to as indeed being weirdos. Own all the guns you want, but why base your personality around it. As long as you're a lawful citizen you owe nobody any justification.
