They worshipped the false idol of the Kennedy name, back when TV and print were basically fully controlled under the liberal elite, look how it got them into a soft padded cell. Even now there is probably a big contingent of people that only knows to vote (D) with a picture of JFK on the wall.
If you look at a county-by-county map of MA they all voted for Hillary. I used to live in Western MA and once you looked at town by town results you saw why. Hampden country has Springfield, Westfield (home to a state university) and thena bunch of small rural towns that voted Trump. Same for Hampshire one county north, you have Northampton and Amherst that can decide the county.
Yup I live in Franklin county. In the only town in the whole county to vote trump. It’s amazing how we were treated after the fact too. Liberals organized literal bus trips up to the town to meet and talk with the locals and “open a dialogue” on why we voted for trump. I’m not even kidding it was retarded.
Its so weird that the place where the Boston Tea Party happened, now is the State with some of, if not the highest taxes in the Country.
People still live there, though, its amazing. The biggest thing the Blue States have over the Red States are that the Public Schools in CT and MA are genuinely very good. That always seems to be the main justification.
They're starting to kill that justification though. Public teachers when I was graduating were starting to get kinda SJW-like. I imagine it is only getting worse, and facilitating a toxic atmosphere, because it only takes a handful/one department of teachers to screw a school up and make it a bad place to learn.
NJ, I'm almost 99% sure, is consistently #1 for public education in the nation. Won't stay that way if lefty bs gets pushed in the English classes, and especially won't last if that 1619 project is put into place.
Yeah, the schools haven't been good in decades. I'm 25 and had to move several school districts because the staff would side with the kids that would threaten and start fights with me. Because it was easier for them.
They are good, in relative terms. And that depends heavily on what county you're in. I lived in Andover for high school and did get a good education there. But even in such a wealthy county, they almost had to cut sports because of budgetary issues and there were virtually no trade classes. Can't imagine what it's like in crappier towns like Lawrence.
Public schools were good in MA, but under Deval Patrick and 0bama we chose to lower our academic standards to suckle at the federal tit and adopt Common Core.
Keep in mind that The Boston Herald is a conservative paper, they run Howie Carr articles. Still surprising to see a major publication from Boston openly endorse Trump but it is a conservative paper, would be way more shocking if it was the ultra leftist Boston Globe.
It's funny - Dukes County had a wide disparity of 72.9% Clinton to 21.6% Trump, so it seems really crazy. Then you look at the numbers: 8,838 to 2,474. Most counties were closer in percentage but about 20K votes away.
Point being, if only a few thousand more people show up than did in 2016, we could completely change the face of the electoral map in a few days.
not a chance in hell massachusetts is as blue as we are led to believe. i’ll go as far to say massachusetts is a test lab for election rigging because no one dare question the results here.
There is one questioning; Dr Shiva has questioned the Dem primary and has tried to get a recount but they won't give him access to the ballots, which is illegal. He is suing but also is a write in candidate.
It's more of a remind not be cocky and "forget" to vote. I've heard said (not sure if accurate) that Bernie didn't get in mainly cause his based didn't actually go out and vote.
Not a surprise. The Herald is the traditionally conservative newspaper of the working class, while the Globe is owned by the New York Times and caters to liberal pieces of shit.
The Herald and the now defunct Record American merged a while ago. There was a joke Record American headline; it gives you an idea of what it was like:
"Japs Bomb Pearl Harbor, Somerville Man Safe." My grandmother used to cut stories out of it of children who had gone missing, been killed and make me read them from the time I was four or five, scared me half to death. Which was her plan :)
Hate to be a debbie downer but id rule out MA along w VT and prob CT and RI too. Our leadership sucks but they havent completely fucked everything to Cali or NY levels yet where ppl would get red pilled en masse. Theres also too much academic 'trust the experts' sentiment here
Feeling good about NH and at least part of ME though
Trump signs everywhere here in York County ME. Even in the coastal towns I only see a smattering of Biden signs. Someone has recently begun installing small CCP flags in front of the latter.
Working people here have had enough of the restrictions and the hoops and the masks and all the other fucking nonsense making our lives harder. Social distancing streets that you can't drive down, can't get your own coffee at the gas station. Fuck off with that!
People who would have never voted before because "in Massachusetts it doesn't matter" are going out to vote just to stick a thumb in their eye.
Add this enthusiasm from a generally non-voting bloc to the fact that there is only a fraction of the usual student population here now.
Yea he was. One of the last funny skits SNL did was with Keenan Thompson playing a guy who's companies kept getting bought by Bain Capital and firing him, its actually pretty great
Will have to look for that, they are the worst of the worst venture capitalists. I knew some of them; their lack of ethics and complete comfort with said lack would take your breath away. Even the mobsters I knew, both Irish and Italian Mafia, had more ethics than Bain.
That point is made in this thread by other Massholes without saying the post itself is stupid. One endorsement =/= MA turning red. Its just news, same way a boat parade in California doesn't mean California landslide!
Trump tweeted it, it's trending #10 on Twitter right now, regardless of whether or not it was expected, it is deemed newsworthy by everyone but you apparently because some people may now think Trump is going to win MA...
As someone who lives here(moving soon), don't, it sucks now after Corona. All the cool spots like pool halls, music venues, bars shut down. Liberals are ready to bite your head off too if they even sense that you support Trump.
Best exchange in the comments (so far - they're a hoot) :
Get ready for 4 more years of the DNC liberal hissy fit.
Its called a Trumper tantrum
Other choice bon-mots include :
I'd rather have COVID-19 than Biden-20
Not only the thought of Biden as president is scary but what about his cabinet. Bernie wants to be secretary of labor What would guy who has never worked a day in his life know about labor
Take it from a Mass Resident, no surprise they did this. The Herald is the one dissenting voice in a sea of annoying liberal propaganda in Mass. Can't wait to move out of here.
No surprise herald went for trump - They are a conservative light paper.
On the southcoast of mass:
Fairhaven usually goes red but hillary edged it blue in 2016.
Westport, acushnet, rochester, carver, Pembroke, etc....rural right to farm areas have trump and pro life signs everywhere but the populations aren't very big. The districting means the county is always blue though. New bedford is filled with 3rd world central americans and votes 90+% dem and we have a umass college in north dartmouth nearby.
Of course.. They know President Trump has won already. haha Some media outlets are giving up this game they've been playing with the people by making them believe that President Trump didn't have this election won a long time ago. haha Now of course a few of the other FAKE NEWS outlets won't give up because they're tied into a lot of corrupt far left commie organizations but they know the truth. Can't wait to vote next week!!!!!
Boston Herald using logic and reason, how ´bout that!!!
Seriously anyone with half a brain would vote Trump. Problem is as Carlin stated...think about how dumb the average person is, and consider 50% of the people are even dumber than that.
You're telling me, and I've lived here my whole life. Never expected this one
Massachusetts could easily become a conservative gun state like all of Northern New England yet there's so many crooks in Boston
Many of these northeastern states were also part of the 13 colonies. Imagine how the founding fathers would feel about these tyrannical laws. Sad!
They went from tea parties in the Boston harbor to getting teabagged by corrupt leftist tyrants.
Yeah, it really breaks my heart to see what it's turned into
You nailed it!
They worshipped the false idol of the Kennedy name, back when TV and print were basically fully controlled under the liberal elite, look how it got them into a soft padded cell. Even now there is probably a big contingent of people that only knows to vote (D) with a picture of JFK on the wall.
yo u could not be more correct. even though I like JFK too.
You just described my parents lol
Yerp
If you look at a county-by-county map of MA they all voted for Hillary. I used to live in Western MA and once you looked at town by town results you saw why. Hampden country has Springfield, Westfield (home to a state university) and thena bunch of small rural towns that voted Trump. Same for Hampshire one county north, you have Northampton and Amherst that can decide the county.
Yup I live in Franklin county. In the only town in the whole county to vote trump. It’s amazing how we were treated after the fact too. Liberals organized literal bus trips up to the town to meet and talk with the locals and “open a dialogue” on why we voted for trump. I’m not even kidding it was retarded.
So idiots, probably form UMass or similar, organized a bus trip to talk to people who voted differently then them? Idiots.
Yea most likely Umass profs and liberal hippies on their pot farms in Leverett and Shelburne “artists”.
UMass, Harvard, And a lot community colleges like Framingham State, Fitchburg State, Quinsigamond (I'm not gonna to spell it correctly)
FYI, Westfield voted for Trump. It is the largest city/town in MA that Trump won.
Im next door and have seen more and more neighbors put up trump flags.
Never knew that.
Yeah, same, I didn't either
Yup, from Southeast mass, can confirm. Once you leave the cities it's MAGA country for the most part.
Same but I don't think thats true. I only see MAGA in NH and Maine.
Can confirm from SE Massholia. Way more Trump flags than 2016, and way, way less Biden signs than there were for Her.
Fair, now that I think about it, I saw that huge car parade on 3 north a few weeks ago when I was going down to the cape.
You gotta understand though, people here are legitimately crazy. It's way safer just to keep your political opinion to yourself.
I mean I technically live outside of Worcester, but was in Melrose up until 2013
Don't forget Springfield!
Uh I don't, I'm moving to NH XD
Its so weird that the place where the Boston Tea Party happened, now is the State with some of, if not the highest taxes in the Country.
People still live there, though, its amazing. The biggest thing the Blue States have over the Red States are that the Public Schools in CT and MA are genuinely very good. That always seems to be the main justification.

NJ, I'm almost 99% sure, is consistently #1 for public education in the nation. Won't stay that way if lefty bs gets pushed in the English classes, and especially won't last if that 1619 project is put into place.
And who rates them? Lefties? Yup.
Marblehead MA has a really good school system.
I know what you mean, it is pricey :)
Yeah, the schools haven't been good in decades. I'm 25 and had to move several school districts because the staff would side with the kids that would threaten and start fights with me. Because it was easier for them.
Oh well, they eat their own, I guess
Yeah, theyve been really complacent and corrupt for some time, it's so sad.
I'm sorry to hear you went through that shit, I get it.
I hope your stronger because of it
And family. Many people still have lots of family, sometimes 3 generations, in the area and don't want to leave for that reason.
This. The only reason I am still here is because I just can't move away and separate my daughter from her grandparents that love her so much.
Fuck that, I'm outta this dying state.
It's the only reason I'm still in Mass.
They are good, in relative terms. And that depends heavily on what county you're in. I lived in Andover for high school and did get a good education there. But even in such a wealthy county, they almost had to cut sports because of budgetary issues and there were virtually no trade classes. Can't imagine what it's like in crappier towns like Lawrence.
No trade classes is on purpose. Don't need to depend on the government as much if you have an actual skill.
Public schools were good in MA, but under Deval Patrick and 0bama we chose to lower our academic standards to suckle at the federal tit and adopt Common Core.
But damn does it feel good
FR. Anyone who thinks this is a big deal is just uninformed. Was more surprising when they didnt endorse him 4 years ago
I was gonna say.. Herald has always been based. Its like the NY Post of Boston.
Can't say it's been on my radar until today, tbh
Yup. This isn't a surprise at all.
Keep in mind that The Boston Herald is a conservative paper, they run Howie Carr articles. Still surprising to see a major publication from Boston openly endorse Trump but it is a conservative paper, would be way more shocking if it was the ultra leftist Boston Globe.
I get the Globe online, it is insane what they write about covid, Trump, Biden, it is a glimpse into a completely different reality.
Free advertising. Coming out as pro-Trump is an easy way to show you are not fake news.
MA Pede, reporting in!
2016, not a single MA county was for Trump, but a couple were damn close.
2020 gonna be a whole new ball game.
LANDSLIDE INCOMING
I cast my vote for Trump in hopefully-soon-to-be-great-again state of MA!
We just get Baker and Walsh to fuck off
It's funny - Dukes County had a wide disparity of 72.9% Clinton to 21.6% Trump, so it seems really crazy. Then you look at the numbers: 8,838 to 2,474. Most counties were closer in percentage but about 20K votes away.
Point being, if only a few thousand more people show up than did in 2016, we could completely change the face of the electoral map in a few days.
EVERYTHING IS IN PLAY.
There's actually Trump displays on MV here and there! I was surprised to see it, but year-rounders are a different breed than summer libs.
Townsend and Asbhy have quite a few Trump signs
I hope you're right fren, I see a lot of Harris and BLM signs in my area. feelsbadman
I don't see nearly the Biden/Harris signs that I did for Hillary in 2016
not a chance in hell massachusetts is as blue as we are led to believe. i’ll go as far to say massachusetts is a test lab for election rigging because no one dare question the results here.
There is one questioning; Dr Shiva has questioned the Dem primary and has tried to get a recount but they won't give him access to the ballots, which is illegal. He is suing but also is a write in candidate.
I would agree for the most part
I also just think it's complacency as well
Murdoch / NewsCorp used to own it but sold it years ago.
I'm readin all these cahmments inna wicked bahd Bahston accent.
That Biden guy's a fahckin loosah!
Perfect :)
Poifect
Hah!
Landslide Incoming!
Only if we vote.
Already did in person!
I see this a lot. Who isn't voting?
I can't vote because I'm in the UK, so help by dropping red pills in the comment sections of international news websites.
Bless you, Britpede!
We were rooting for you for Brexit!
It's more of a remind not be cocky and "forget" to vote. I've heard said (not sure if accurate) that Bernie didn't get in mainly cause his based didn't actually go out and vote.
Socialists are so lazy they won't even vote.
You bet your ass I am
No one here isn't voting, tell people in person, stop preaching to the choir online.
I’ve no idea about the herald. Are they like the NY Post? (Meaning they actually report news)
RINO paper but it’s the best we have.
The Herald is to the Boston globe what the post is to the NYT.
Boston has the Herald and the Globe. The Globe is at WaPo level of dem delusion. The Herald is the mainstream alternative like the Washington Times.
At least that's how I understand it.
Not a surprise. The Herald is the traditionally conservative newspaper of the working class, while the Globe is owned by the New York Times and caters to liberal pieces of shit.
NYT sold it to John Henry recently. Not that that makes a difference
The Herald and the now defunct Record American merged a while ago. There was a joke Record American headline; it gives you an idea of what it was like: "Japs Bomb Pearl Harbor, Somerville Man Safe." My grandmother used to cut stories out of it of children who had gone missing, been killed and make me read them from the time I was four or five, scared me half to death. Which was her plan :)
Herald didn't endorse Trump (or Clinton) in 2016. They are the Ben Shapiro-like semi-Never Trump group. That's significant.
do we care about lamestream media?
No but it's fun watch libs suddenly turn onto them.
I care about seeing them struggle and fail. Otherwise, no.
No.
What if Trump wins Massachusetts? That would be insane
Hate to be a debbie downer but id rule out MA along w VT and prob CT and RI too. Our leadership sucks but they havent completely fucked everything to Cali or NY levels yet where ppl would get red pilled en masse. Theres also too much academic 'trust the experts' sentiment here
Feeling good about NH and at least part of ME though
Trump signs everywhere here in York County ME. Even in the coastal towns I only see a smattering of Biden signs. Someone has recently begun installing small CCP flags in front of the latter.
Is that someone a based hitchhiker?
Oh god
If it was going to happen this is the year.
Working people here have had enough of the restrictions and the hoops and the masks and all the other fucking nonsense making our lives harder. Social distancing streets that you can't drive down, can't get your own coffee at the gas station. Fuck off with that!
People who would have never voted before because "in Massachusetts it doesn't matter" are going out to vote just to stick a thumb in their eye.
Add this enthusiasm from a generally non-voting bloc to the fact that there is only a fraction of the usual student population here now.
That would make 2020 worth it
Howie Carr is based
True.
Mittens former state!
Is this his home state? He’s such a carpetbagger that I don’t even know where he’s from.
He's from Michigan. His dad was Governor. How he leached onto Mass I don't know but it is regretable
Was he with Bain Capital, that may be the connection.
Yea he was. One of the last funny skits SNL did was with Keenan Thompson playing a guy who's companies kept getting bought by Bain Capital and firing him, its actually pretty great
Will have to look for that, they are the worst of the worst venture capitalists. I knew some of them; their lack of ethics and complete comfort with said lack would take your breath away. Even the mobsters I knew, both Irish and Italian Mafia, had more ethics than Bain.
His home state is where it's expedient
Kinda like the Clintons.
He's probably not even a Mormon. Fucking Pierre Delecto.
From the Boston Herald, this is not surprising. It's the NY Post of Massachusetts.
You're stupid
That point is made in this thread by other Massholes without saying the post itself is stupid. One endorsement =/= MA turning red. Its just news, same way a boat parade in California doesn't mean California landslide!
Trump tweeted it, it's trending #10 on Twitter right now, regardless of whether or not it was expected, it is deemed newsworthy by everyone but you apparently because some people may now think Trump is going to win MA...
And also with you friend. Wasn't trying to be cunty at all, I get what you are saying
Except for history, and such... https://www.bostonherald.com/2016/10/21/editorial-none-of-the-above-for-president/
This is 100% correct.
The best part is they start off by slamming SJWs!
Newspapers shouldn't be endorsing anyone. That being said, at least they have good taste.
Yeah, my thoughts.
I think this is a clap back at USA Today for endorsing Biden a couple days ago
Mainstream media might be corrupt, but not all media is. NY Post doesn't do a shit job, and maybe Boston Herald is worth a read.
NYPost leaked the Hunter emails, so I'm willing to give them a bit of breathing room
I always wanted to visit Boston.
Come visit once we're open again.
As someone who lives here(moving soon), don't, it sucks now after Corona. All the cool spots like pool halls, music venues, bars shut down. Liberals are ready to bite your head off too if they even sense that you support Trump.
Eh, it used to be a lot better.
Now it's ridiculously corporatized
I don’t like media endorsements of any political candidates personally. Media should have no bias and just tell the facts.
That was gonna my first suggestion.
NTD is their sister outlet, also really good and fair stuff.
Crossroads with Joshua Phillips on YT if you're looking for CCP stuff nobody else is talking about
That's sadly a pipe dream these days.
Herald is a conservative paper. Boston Glob(e) is the lib one. No surprise here.
Best exchange in the comments (so far - they're a hoot) :
Other choice bon-mots include :
I guess child rape is where the Boston Herald draws the line..
Take it from a Mass Resident, no surprise they did this. The Herald is the one dissenting voice in a sea of annoying liberal propaganda in Mass. Can't wait to move out of here.
very surprising.
Wow, the article sure doesn't read like an endorsement. Maybe if you think trashing the best President we've ever had is "endorsing".
No surprise herald went for trump - They are a conservative light paper.
On the southcoast of mass:
Fairhaven usually goes red but hillary edged it blue in 2016. Westport, acushnet, rochester, carver, Pembroke, etc....rural right to farm areas have trump and pro life signs everywhere but the populations aren't very big. The districting means the county is always blue though. New bedford is filled with 3rd world central americans and votes 90+% dem and we have a umass college in north dartmouth nearby.
Wish these guys would of endorsed sooner. So many people endorsing a week from the election. But i'll take it!
Tha'ts my friends face next to his left elbow!
Wooo-hooo
Anyone got a copy and paste of the article? I ain't turning off my ad blocker
Which ad blocker do you use? I can view it fine on Brave mobile browser and that blocks everything
Brave is best browser
Definitely
Of course.. They know President Trump has won already. haha Some media outlets are giving up this game they've been playing with the people by making them believe that President Trump didn't have this election won a long time ago. haha Now of course a few of the other FAKE NEWS outlets won't give up because they're tied into a lot of corrupt far left commie organizations but they know the truth. Can't wait to vote next week!!!!!
Rioting tonite at the Herald HQ.
Man bites dog story!
Holy KEK!
Damn that's crazy
Boston Herald using logic and reason, how ´bout that!!!
Seriously anyone with half a brain would vote Trump. Problem is as Carlin stated...think about how dumb the average person is, and consider 50% of the people are even dumber than that.
Really???? Wow! This is huge! Their newspaper publication is in a super liberal town aka Boston so fuck yeah!!! WINNING!!!!!!!!
No surprise there.
YUGE!!!
Holy crap!
