Is Massachusetts not that liberal/progressive?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Massachusetts is to a large extent progressive, and religion isn't 'dying' any more than it's notably 'dying' elsewhere. It's not as progressive as commonly supposed, certainly not as progressive as Vermont is in the senses that we're talking about, but that's because no state is entirely full of stereotypical political bogeymen. Western Massachusetts actually has the odd strain of left-communitarian tendencies.

On Massachusetts yeah the West Side of the state of the state is liberal like Amherst. Of course Boston is pretty liberal too. Worcester isn't really that liberal though. I think Republicans like Scott Brown and the 2010 Republican Nominee for Governor Charlie Baker did well in the Eastern Part of the state. I mean a few districts in the Eastern Part of the state were trending Republican before the Redistricting happened(MA-3, MA-4, MA-6, and MA-9.)

It's really just some of the Boston exurbs and parts of Worcester and Plymouth Counties that are Republican as such in Massachusetts, and even then a lot of the more conservative people who would otherwise live there fled to southern New Hampshire in decades past. Places like the suburbs of Springfield, Essex County outside its cities, Norfolk County less Brookline and Quincy, and Cape Cod are a bit squishier politically and give Republicans a lot of such statewide victories as they get.

A little more subtle than that, but sort of, yeah.

Cellucci won Berkshire County? Yeah, I really don't see that sort of thing happening again.

Maybe having Swift on the ticket helped.

Oh, right, I forgot she was from North Adams. I like North Adams so I might have blocked that out for that reason.
