> But 47 years isn’t long enough to be called a Mainer??

Nope. One of my neighbors recently informed me that, since I was not born here, my Maine-born children will never be Mainers, but their children might.

hopefully not! That's why he went to Amherst - do the demographics - you could make two lists - 1 where he would be elected 2 where he couldn't make the ballot. Suppose he thought that through? Welcome to America ... It's gerrymandering that sets shit on fire!

no, no being a Mainer means being born here ... and then we have to accept them for what they are, but when they crawl here to try to use our state meme as a recertification - they need to be identified as being from "AWAY"

Jesus what does one have to do with the other? If rich white dudes could get pregnant there’d be abortions available everywhere.

I don’t think there is another state in the country this fixated on what state people were born in. It’s bizarre. He seems popular enough among the locals that they keep electing him, right? Do you think a loon like this would get elected in Pasadena or the Philly suburbs?

This is how a reasonable person acts. You can dislike something and still not outlaw others from doing it..

Everyone is so convinced that they either need to be 100% “for” something or 100% “against” it.. Social media has made it so sensible moderate positions are unpopular. Very unfortunate for society in general.

Can I force myself on him with the end of a shovel, by his logic?

Just asking the tough questions like Fuxnews's Cucker Tarlson.

Ok…I also despise this piece of shit. But 47 years isn’t long enough to be called a Mainer?? Is by-birth the only bar high enough? If that’s the case, I have bad news about those in your company (they’re pretty damn closed-minded).

Vermont give the fewest fucks about what you do with your land. Perhaps it's them acknowledging that everything's a hill, so what you carve out, you've earned it. Trailer on a slope with cinder blocks propping up the low half? No problemo!

I agree, NH is like a demilitarized zone, always someone going from somewhere to somewhere else.

Maine has the greatest contrast between coastal yuppies and dirt farmers. NH could too but has way fewer miles of coastline.
