I’m grew up in NH too. He’s right, it’s weirdly sheltered place.

  • There are almost no black people, so people here don’t think they’re racist, but it’s largely because they have few opportunities to be.

  • They think Manchester, NH is a big scary city. Where you need to carry a gun or you’ll be killed by a homeless drifter.

  • There are surprisingly few pan handlers besides at tourist spots in the summer and along the MA border.

  • You still don’t have to wear a seatbelt or even insure your car. Because they think everyone will do the right thing in an accident. Unless you’re in Manchester (or maybe Nashua).

  • it has a numb nut Republican governor, but all Democrat federal representation.

It’s a weird ass place if you’ve lived here long enough to experience it. I blame the radon (which decays to lead btw) and arsenic in the drinking water.
