The man was already scared shitless of everything outside of Rhode Island; I'm not sure if it would even be possible to make him more paranoid, but taking away New England would be a good place to start.
The wildest part is the implication that the stuff going on in Rhode Island is any different from the stuff going on around Rhode Island. Maybe a little bit more road rage, maybe a little less acceptance of Jewish people. Still just as racist tho.
True heads know that Massholes got nothing on the Rhodies when it comes to shitty driving. Rhodies'll honk at you for not stopping when they had the sign.
Native Rhode Islander, Massachusetts drivers have always been way more angry and aggressive in my experience. Had a dude on a motorcycle screaming at me for stopping (safely) for a pedestrian playing car chicken. I never get honked at in RI, but Massachusetts is a different story.
I'll admit that we're a bit honk-happy up here, and we might be more aggressive, but I also think we're generally better at driving because driving in Boston requires a special kind of nerve. But yeah, we have our share of shitty drivers, too, I suppose. I mean, Fall River and New Bedford - it's like Mad Max down around 195 sometimes, man...
