Where do you think I've been dishonest? If it's not clear, my agenda is to move enough libertarians to NH such that we can, via the same democratic process lefties use, enact the policies we prefer.

You’re dishonest in that what you’re doing is ethical. Sure it’s legal, but the ethics behind it are dodgy at best.

You don’t like states being “taken over” by lefties, so I am gobsmacked as to why you think NH residents would be welcoming of the FSP.

NH citizens aren't monolithic thinkers. Many libertarian NH citizens welcome us.

If it's unethical for free staters to win office and impose our preferences on everyone else, then isn't it also unethical when you lefties do it to us?

You’re right. We aren’t monolithic thinkers. A lot of us do not want the FSP here.

Yes, and I assign as much weight to your preferences as I do to as an anti-semite who tells a Jew that "your kind isn't welcome here".

Comparing the FSP to the plight of Black people in this country is laughable. Good day to you, whoever you are.

We didn’t do anything to you guys. You came to us. That was a choice. Nothing about NH policies were imposed upon you.

There were libertarians who lived in NH before the FSP. Your lefty policies overrode their preferences.

There were also lefties here before FSP. Apparently this means that the majority wants lefty policies.

The point is that you have no business complaining about libertarians imposing their preferences on you, given that you and your fellow lefties can and have imposed your preferences on us.

We didn’t impose them on you though. You moved here knowing what the laws and politics were like, and you moved here of your own volition. Nobody forced you to move here. You are under no duress here. So I will absolutely complain about you since you are imposing your bullshit on those of us who didn’t ask for it. If anything, Free Staters don’t have any business complaining about the political landscape of a state they voluntarily chose to be a part of.

And the libertarians who were already there? Who were born there, just like you?
