Reply to comment by Raa03842 in Free Staters might actually have *more* legislative control now in the state House thanks to the even split? -- Brown said. “So the narrow margin had the effect of actually creating a budget that was farther to the right.” Could get interesting. by AMC4x4

I think overall, this was a nationwide and local vote against chaos. If this trench warfare looks like the normal legislative process, voters might be OK with it. If it turns into a circus of obstruction and chaos, it's going to be a very interesting 2024.

NH GOP caucus had a roaring 2020-2022 legislative agenda and passed a ton of stuff. You keep conflating the national GOP with NH state GOP.

I'm not. A lot of that local legislation wasn't popular. The question is, are the Free Staters/GOP going to double down on the culture war issues?

I mean it's been a circus of obstruction and chaos since 2000 basically. This country is always been center right and center left. And the rich support the crazies because it's beneficial to the 1% to have the people divided. And So it goes.
