As anyone who follows New Hampshire state politics (and this column) is aware, in 2003 the state was given the dubious honor of being designated home of the Free State Project. The 6,000-plus who have crossed the border have managed to insert themselves into state governance and turn it on its ear.
Rational people didn’t take Free Staters seriously, and so they’ve been allowed to fester. Rational people also didn’t give credence to that clown king Trump, and look how that turned out. We can no longer rely on “rational” to prevail. Free Staters have succeeded in flipping state government — and State House Republicans — to their extremist ideology. Even Gov. Chris Sununu, politically calculating but at least sane, has said the Free Staters are not Republicans, and called three from the Belknap County delegation “crazy.”
