Let us look at Maine

I was watching CNN this morning. They were interviewing Trump supporters. These people still believe Trump will be their president not in 2024but some time in March. I then reviewed how Maine voted by counties. The southern part of the state with a larger population went blue but rural areas were red. I was talking to a man who is educated but a conservative. He said Trump is an idiot but he voted not for the person but for the the ideals of the party. Today look at the people in our communities that want to turn the clock back. People that don't want new people becoming their neighbors, want the mill to reopen, don't want their children moving away or any thing that might alter their comfort zone. Being progressive means changing with the times and until people in Maine accept this fact our state will not reach it's full potential.
