Why did Great Barrington vote so staunchly for No on 2?Submitted by nrvs_hbt t3_yqqa2s in massachusetts

Because the government putting their dirty sticky hands in anything is a bad fucking idea and leads to extra cost through taxation and administration which translates to more cost for you for less. Terrible fucking idea.

You're right! I miss when companies dumped toxic waste in our drinking supply!

What’s different now? They inject toxic chemicals into your food, the environment and your body and tell you it’s for your health and it’s not toxic and you just eat that up, literally, just wondering why are dying from cancer after following all the governments advice…. Camp Lejeune is the current headline but let’s not forget about all the food additives the FDA says are great and turn out to be horrible…. So weird….you simpleton

Choose to believe what you want. Until one day the government comes and kicks you out of your house to flood your town for the common good.

Working on it. But thanks for the well thought out advice.

You don't deserve well thought out advice you hick. Please leave the state, we don't want you here

This is the right wing conspiracy theory darling right now, yes. You outed yourself with that reference.
Out here in the real world, military bases are all a huge environmental issue.

No shit. It’s a headline. It’s not political that military families are suffering because the government lies and treats people like animals.
Something happened in the last two generations where shot head kids got old enough to vote and they think we need the government. It’s supposed to be public service. The governement needs you and your tax money. Now it’s just blatant corruption yet all you Libs keep going down the same path.
I enjoy occasionally framing things less on party lines and I should make a coffee table book of lib reactions - you all love conservatism, as long as it’s not framed that way.

You can certainly move into the woods of Alaska if big bad govt is so awful. But you wouldn't because you know damn well you need the government. So chill out with the bluster

Except for Alaska's socialist policy of distributing oil money to all individuals. God-damned communists.

You're right! I guess dude is really only left with Antarctica or maybe Afghanistan

False. No one needs government, people just like government because it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy that someone is supposed to be looking out for you - they’re not.

Yes. You. Do. Right now you're using a device that wouldn't exist without federal govt R&D, using electricity regulated by the government (unless you have your own power generation, transmission and storage), the internet (also thanks to govt R&D). And eating food you would have no possibility of obtaining without the government.
What makes you so special that the government needs to "look out for you" in particular? This is a society my friend. You live in it. The government does it's best to provide for all. You are certainly free to unplug and go into the wild, but again, you won't.

Gov’t does it’s best to provide for the government. Private business does the rest.
Hurts my head that people are as dense as you. I blame your parents.

Man I love the day after election day in Massachusetts where it reminds Republicans living here that their voice means sh*t. Every once in a while we toss them a very moderate republican governor and they get their hopes up that they have a chance here. I mean they actually ran a republican candidate with the political views of Diehl here. It’s just F’in hilarious

What’s funny is any stream of conscious from a liberal. Now that will get a laugh.

Another sad day in Mass for you, maybe you should move to Florida. You can be in the Republicans paradise! Why continue to stay cold and sad in liberal Massachusetts?
