Dude is another old, out of touch conservative. He needs to go back to Florida and ride his bike on a busy road.

Does he really look like someone who would engage in any sort of plebian physical exertion beyond running his mouth?

As a Mainer who now lives in Florida, please, no. Keep him up there. With Trump and Desantis we’ve reached our quota of assholes.

Fair enough. Not sure why I got all the downvotes though, not like I said I was a fan. However, Lepage is and always will be a Mainer.

Downvotes are likely due to a perception of betrayal from your comment. You say you’re a former Mainer who moved to Florida and feel Maine should “keep” LePage since you already have enough crazy politicians and that LePage “is and always will be a Mainer”. I think what that tells other people is that even though Lepage dipped for Florida after his term was up, he’s still a Mainer that we “own” but you as a Mainer who also moved out aren’t and don’t “own” him. There’s also possible frustration over you complaining about the number of conservative assholes in a state known for conservative assholes you chose to move to. Also (and I could be wrong here), but it seems to me that LePage has a lower chance of doing political damage in Florida vs Maine since his native status and history of political involvement in Maine gives him a familiarity edge vs Florida and his views are already more in line with Floridas current policies to begin with. I think you’re generally receiving negative attention because people feel the comment is a little shortsighted and not directly supportive of keeping LePage out of Maine politics

I think that’s a bit much to read into a glib comment, but could certainly be an explanation…

I actually prefer him in Maine over Florida. Maine is purple but solidly blue enough right now. Florida, however, needs to tip back to a true swing state.
