This is actually a really cool @FreeStateNH merch idea.
Politics isn't a game, but we can still have fun sometimes.

It is the time for choosing. The Republican approach: quality government services at a reasonable price. The Democrat approach: more spending with new and higher taxes.

Imagine I got a job at a video game company and I made it my mission to insert libertarianism into every project I worked on β€” regardless of whether or not it served the story.

Liberty Republicans and MAGA formed a 2024 coalition to displace the neocons in the GOP by electing Donald Trump. Then Trump sided with the neocons.

I loved the first one. The second one felt like a woke scold lecture about rednecks and immigration. Couldn’t get past the first hour.
Don’t Nod, the studio behind the original Life is Strange, is collapsing. The French developer is facing a near-total layoff, up to 85 jobs, which would leave its French teams with only a small number of employees. The studio has struggled with a string of underperforming releases, the most recently the sci-fi adventure Aphelion. Don’t Nod has warned that it may not have enough funding to continue operating beyond January 31, 2027, and has entered a French β€œsafeguard” procedure to restructure its finances.

The people of the Free State are not buying what NH Dems are selling. We are all Free Staters now.
NEW: Josiah Bartlett Center poll finds that NH voters want property tax relief, and they want it to come from local governments controlling spending, not additional state aid funded by higher taxes. jbartlett.org/2026/10/nh-vot…

Inclusive storytelling is not the same as activist stroytelling.

Art seeks to asks questions, while activists seek to insist on their answers.

Activism, like we saw sink @bioware, destroys art because it does not respect its audience to ask questions for themselves. To ask your audience a question is to risk them coming to the wrong answer β€” so storytelling activists skip the question entirely.

My native Granite Stater wife says it’s a lie that @ChrisPappasNH’ family invented the chicken tender. β€œBreaded chicken fried in oil? They’ve had all those things for millennia. I bet Jesus ate chicken tenders.”

Democrats in NH have rallies, but no ground game. This is a big reason why NH Republicans are in contention to counter national trends.
