I’m in New Hampshire for a couple of months. For someone who’s lived in a bastion of liberalism, New York City, for almost 30 years, it’s been a rude awakening to see all the Trump flags rippling on the back of pickups and unnerving to notice the plethora of bumper stickers that blare “Fuck Biden” and “Let’s Go, Brandon” among other profanity-filled paraphernalia.One of the more jolting things I see daily as I keep CNN and MSNBC on in the background while I work is a primary ad for a Republican U.S.
Senate candidate Chuck Morse. His ads bellow that he will not support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, that he will stop immigrants from crossing the border, and that he will finish building Donald Trump’s wall.
New Hampshire is over 3,000 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.Each time the ad airs, I check the calendar to make sure that it’s 2022 and not 2016.But if you think that’s bad, it gets worse.
Morse sounds like the more levelheaded Republican Senate candidate compared to Don Bolduc, a retired Army general who asserts that Trump won the 2020 election.
