No book burnings or threats to Jews in Maine that I’m aware of, but antifa operates with impunity in Lewiston. None of our elected officials have anything to say about political terrorism, as long as the terrorists remember to label their target a Nazi first. All of their targets have been people who’ve made public comment at school board meetings. I haven’t been targeted per se, but they did crop my name off of an open letter I sent to all of my elected officials, then attributed it to the person they were targeting in an attempt to destroy her new special needs childcare business. I’m not even sure why they did that, as there was nothing inflammatory in the letter besides asking them to stop calling Mainers fascists and Nazis.
Our mayor WILL make grandiose statements about bad jokes, as if the person who said “bomb Lewiston” on a podcast actually wanted to bomb the city. He will also cast himself as a brave resistance warrior, as if going into a gay bookstore in a woke town in a woke state is an “act of defiance”. It is all very bizarre to me, a 45 year old originally from the midwest.
The only way Maine politicians’ actions make sense to me is from a power politics and wealth extraction standpoint. Maine may just be the most backwards state in the union in 2025, since we don’t have the large professional class of the other deep blue states. Our schools are just awful now.
Speaking of backwards societies and bad schools, Maine Democrats finally achieved the Maine KKK’s only political policy priority in 2022, 100 years after the last Klan rally here. Public funding for Catholic schools was cut in 2022, and now St. Dominic’s is closing its high school. The Lewiston/Auburn area is about to lose some of our best families, who under no circumstances will send their children to our awful public schools. They’re just going to leave and our hospitals will be out a few more doctors and similar professional brain drain, and other professionals will never choose to live here in the first place.
Back to #resistance fighters…
I still don’t understand why people think it is a good idea to vandalize cybertrucks. Don’t they know those things have cameras that record the vehicle’s surroundings? A guy who runs a gay bar in Searsport called Hey Sailor got caught drawing a swastika on one and is now in damage control mode.
