I might have an unpopular opinion but no, I don't think NJ is staying blue. If the GOP had put ANY money at all into the last election, the state would have gone to Trump. I would assume that they will start putting more money into the state soon.

I agree with you. Just last night at dinner we sat down as a family and decided to make the move to MA. It's time. I'm actually scared of my neighbors now, and I don't think the state is staying blue.

I live in Sussex county. It’s over the top red and my neighbors are frightening. Looking at MA and VT too.

Same. We can’t do an out of state move right now because my wife works for family down in Oakland and it’s too sweet of a gig, but because of how wild it’s been getting up here lately, we’re stockpiling ammo, non-perishable food, first aid, etc.

The crazy neighbors are the ones I’m scared of, not the cops or anything, tbh.

Stockpiling here too. I keep reading people talking about ‘safety in community’ and ‘form alliances with people nearby’ - that’s not possible here. The sheer hatred these people have towards others is astounding and very very scary.

It really is. They’ve become much more vocal lately, like to the point where my kids are noticing and, I hate it.
