What an asshole. I should be allowed to punch idiots who say stupid shit in the face.

I don't even fully agree with abortion (I would never get one myself, but i do not judge others' choices), but this is absolutely disgusting and in no way a good comparison.

He's no longer in the legislature. But I'm sure he's being an asshole somewhere else.

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).

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.

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.

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?

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

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"

mainething t1_j5g5mvi wrote

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!

We're actually #4, I think. Their list goes 1) trans folks, 2) tEh GaYz, 3) black folks, 4) women who aren't also covered by points 1-3. Notice how they absolutely did not stop with bathroom bills or sports bans, and are now coming after adults' private medical decisions. The same logic will be applied to everyone else in time.

monsterscallinghome t1_j5g8dtq wrote

This strain of ugly nativism goes back to the arrival of the Famine Irish and French Canadians in the 18th & 19th centuries. The Know-Nothing Party used the Catholicism of the refugees to stoke hatred and gain political power. It's disgusting to hear from the mouths of otherwise sensible people.

The excellent book Hard Times, Hard Men: Maine and the Irish 1830-1860 by James H Mundy is an excellent resource on both the history of the Irish in Maine and the history of how cynically the wealthy (often themselves transplants from Mass & points south) have instigated, fed, and used this nativism to divide the working class of Maine against itself, lowering wages and increasing repression to the detriment of everyone but the rich.

Ask him if this is an accurate quote. If he says yes, continue the conversation with questions about how violence is ok. If he says no, be prepared to state the sources of the quote and keep questioning until he gives a thorough explanation of how the quote was wrong.

If he stands by his statement, I don't know what the fuck to do, what a dick.

Ok wait a second, what the literal fuck did he say. If this is true, when is his term.coming up?

Unable-Bison-272 t1_j5gb5to wrote

I left the state partially because of this miserable attitude. My drunk neighbor held a knife to my neck and told me if he killed me he wouldn’t be convicted because I was “a fa**ot from Massachusetts.” My last time in Blue Hill I went to a bar and ate a quiet meal and had a couple beers. The bartender asked me where I was from. I said Central Mass, Worcester area. Called me the same slur and pitched a fit when I didn’t tip him. Fuck this attitude.

How about if I use the superior strength of my 380 and shoot this waste of human life right in the dick, point blank, so he won't ever be able to act on his words? Oh yah, and then in the mouth so he'll stfu but, I'd wanna hear him scream first.

cwalton505 t1_j5gkxzf wrote

Yeah he's a cunt but why does his birthplace matter? Plenty of cunts born in Maine. Paul LePage and Janet Mills were both born in Maine. You likely hate one of those kittens based on your hardline take.

Yeah I’m not even going to try to defend that. Lockman is a piece of shit. He said that years ago while he was still in the legislature.

I don't "do" hate. Take a look at the globe, we are all passengers in the same boat. It doesn't mean we have to embrace everyone, but we sure as hell had better try to understand each other - Being born a Mainer carries with it an identifier and I really am proud to say that not all Mainers are alike -

conflictedbosun t1_j5gqqoq wrote

Would be nice in an alternate dimension for a large strong lad to apply his logic upon him. But really, the equivalence he's making is devoid of logic at the most base level. If X is allowed to have control over their body, why can't X not have control over their body? Like, am I on crazy pills? Edit: what district did this piece of shit hatch from? I want to know where to never allow my children to go.

weakenedstrain t1_j5grcd5 wrote

Proud of Mills, don’t agree with her much of the time. However, calling the guy who refused to honor MLK day while also blaming Maine’s drug problems on black guys impregnating white girls isn’t what I’d consider much of a “hardline take” and more common decency.

If they both seem the same to you, I’d suggest you look into their policies and personalities a little more.

This asshole thinks pregnancy is the only reason a woman doesn’t want to be raped.

weakenedstrain t1_j5gu2ea wrote

You can say it was me getting aggro all you want. You called them both cunts, and set them up as equals. If that’s your take, it says a bit about the value of your opinions.

My opinion: they’re not equal. Not even close. If that means I prove your point or I’m some kind of hardliner, I’ll take it. Making both sides look equally compromised at this point only elevates the reprehensible.

Are you fucking kidding me? This guy needs to be arrested. This is an elected public official. When are we going to start holding these governing bodies accountable for their moronic actions? Enough is enough.

Edit: Old quote but damn, this is obscene. The sentiment still remains. How do you not just get immediately banned from power with statements like this?

I was born in New Hampshire and my older brother in Boston. (Our parents were still in college). My grandfathers came from other New England states. My grandmother was born in Maine, but her parents were immigrants. My other grandmother was from Maine for generations but she moved 15 miles down the road after getting married. My parents were born in Maine, and have lived there close to 70 of their 80 years, but they're not "from there" according to some.

Hearing people say shit like this makes me wonder if we should bring back the practice of legal dueling, minus the lethal weapons. It might cut down on violent political rhetoric if politicians who used it were promptly challenged to a fight by their strongest opponent.

The small dick energy is very strong with this guy. And what’s sad is that people like this rapey asshole are in charge. Society will be better off when these ppl go fuck right off a cliff.

Women don’t need anyone’s permission to have agency over their own bodies. It blows my mind that this is still a discussion in 2023.

Unless he is trying to show how the woman being the stronger has the "right" to kill the weaker party, so the man should as well. See, connected logical thought, even if you don't like the conclusion.

Now, I don't know this guy, and have no idea what the context was he made this statement, or even if he really did, but hey, nobody else seems to care about these niceties, why should I/

Soccermom233 t1_j5qzo93 wrote

It's grossly conflating some biological truth with rights?

Because biologically women get pregnant they get to decide what's going on with their bodies?

Because biologically men are typically stronger they get to decide who they rape?

I think that's the 'logic.'
