    What does someone in Maine get out of this? Maybe Collins is getting shit for it but the average person is getting fucked.

      I don’t know this bill specifically, but bills have a lot of weird unrelated shit tacked onto them. Sometimes that stuff is state-specific stuff. There have been lots of cases where senators have opposed a bill but changed their tune after something specifically for their state was added. They can then brag about these wins during primaries.

        Maybe we’re looking for nuance where there isn’t any, and the majority of Maine residents are just hateful and racist.

          Maine residents are, as a whole, very nice people. Certainly a lot friendlier as a population than many other states I’ve spent time in. Calling them hateful and racist based purely on (by your own admission) their voting records is like saying the majority of US residents are MAGA because Trump got elected.
