Never had hardship. Put illegals there and it will change. Not that anyone wants that.

There’s a book, “Albion’s Seed”, that provides a basis for the voting patterns we see today, in 4 groups that immigrated from the UK and settled different parts of the early US.

Each of the groups had a unique set of characteristics that the author believes determines their political stances today, and it’s a pretty strong argument.

New Hampshire is pretty conservative. Guessing they have high quality fraud game. You always hear about people getting bussed into NH to vote.

Vermont is a completely another story, there's zero conservatism there, maybe someone could explain why


I found one of the few Vermont Conservatives.

He was in the army with me… Dad was a farmer & Polish decent.

I think his strong Polish roots certainly helped him. He was MAGA

Portland is the only reason Maine is blue. Interestingly enough we spent a week up there about 3 years ago, we counted more BLM signs than we did BLs, they don't have a clue what it means to be around the culture regularly.

They don't live in the same world that most of us live in.

Well yea. Portland metro is upwards of 1/3rd of the population of the state. Maine is far from the only state dominated by a single metro.

Vermont has Burlington which is extremely liberal, along with the capital. The rural areas seemed conservative to me when I visited.

Obama thought that Maine was too white, and Portland became the beneficiary of a decent sized surge of Africans/Haitians.

A completely uninteresting fact about me/ME: about a decade ago, in NOLA, I met a couple from Boston. The woman told me that I had a "Maine" accent. This confused the hell out of me as I didn't know that they had an accent. I thought about it for a while and figured that Maine is close to Nova Scotia/Quebec, which obviously have French roots, so maybe that had something to do with it. 10 seconds later it occurred to me that they had been in NOLA for at least a few days, and had certainly met other white folk with French heritage, so I gave up on trying to figure it out. Maybe I was the first non-Yat white that they had run into.
