When it comes to Alaska, the Chump is onto something there.

A great many - a GREAT many - people came to Alaska in search of the freedom they thought that Alaska typified. A good many of them had trouble fitting in in their own towns and states and they headed north with a dream of building a cabin in the woods someplace and living off the land with no regulations and therefore no more run-ins with the law.

Things have changed, but they tend to vote for those politicians who still talk the good fight.

I've met a few of them and that's how I see it.
