[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on 12 years experience with family vacations and many years of sleep away camps for the kids (always tucked away in tiny towns/ if you can even call them that) I’ve learned there are 2 types of people in Maine. You’ve got the summer people and the townies. Once the summer people leave you are left with druggies, the morbidly obese, and the redneck hillbilly types.

You are a loathesome bigot of the very worst kind, poster.

I’m not a native Mainer, but I lived there for more than a dozen years including while attending university and earning an advanced degree. I have numerous friends from university who are now the leaders in government, medicine, business.

Maine has plenty of highly intelligent, vibrant people filling the ranks of her citizenry. And yes she also has plenty of backward thinkers. But it is noteworthy in my own life that I never saw/heard in Maine the kind of bold faced backward racist behavior and speech that I saw in Alexandria Virginia while attending law school in DC.

You’ve got a mote in your eye, poster. [/quote]

Virginia elected Glenn Youngkin governor. Maine, OTOH, has elected Janet Mills twice. That alone kind of proves your point, PP. [/quote]

Maine also elected Paul LePage. Twice. He makes Youngkin look like AOC.[/quote]

Maine poster here. Paul LePage did get elected twice. Last year, however, Janet Mills beat him by 13 points. Also last year, Virginia elected Youngkin on the basis of bogeymen like CRT and transgender rights.

Issues like climate resilience and protecting the fisheries take precedence over cultural bogeymen in Maine. Climate resilience is mostly a bipartisan concern here, not just something Democrats care about, and protecting the livelihood of lobstermen is a bipartisan concern, not just something Republicans care about. RCV, which Paul LePage opposed but Mainers voted for, is a boon to democracy IMO. I like this kind of more cooperative, less polarized environment, but YMMV.[/quote]
