What a crock.
Maine, part of a Boston city state? The Portland area is liberal and geographically close to Boston, but Maine’s Second Congressional District, 27,000+ square miles in area and 80% of the state, mostly rural, went for Trump by 10 points.... has NOTHING in common with Boston. It’s like saying Brooklyn, New York and Fairbanks, Alaska are similar. Ridiculous.
Maine is conceal carry, Constitutional carry, private gun sales, strong second amendment country, hunting and fishing, etc. Boston is not.
The authors entire premise is to politically empower urban areas and to disenfranchise rural areas.
He says Maine would remain more or less as it is, but for some reason (maybe because of the rules he sets for his project) he could see it falling into the Boston city state.
