To be fair, Janet Mills is a Democrat and Maine is a mostly left-leaning state. If this headline were about their Republican Senator Susan Collins, fair enough, but Maine is currently being sued because Mills stood up to Trump.

    Yeah but more broadly the country elected a deranged incoherent fascistic narcissistic reality tv show host to their highest office - twice who has threatened to annex Canada and has tens of millions of sycophants. So, no one from there gets a pass really.

    Trump's harm needs to be pointed out. Governors have a natural podium for doing so. They should be cheered for this.

    I mean, Trump illegally froze Maine's funding because it's a blue state and Mills wouldn't sell out trans kids, but if you want to be super reductive, sure, fuck 'em I guess. Fuck all those protesters getting their shit kicked in by the LAPD for opposing ICE too, I suppose. That's what you get for living in the wrong country!

    Honestly? It sounds like an internal problem and supporting any part of that country leads to further threats to our sovereignty.

    Right, I'm not objecting to the drop in tourism. That's completely justified and understandable. I wouldn't come here either. But the meme is singling out a blue state whose governor is actively fighting back. If they were mocking a right-wing freak like Ron DeSantis whining because Florida tourism was tanking, I'd be on board. Hell, if it was mocking the United States as a whole I'd say we collectively had it coming. But to mock one of Trump's enemies who's getting fucked by Trump's decisions is dumb.

    The US elected that POS - twice. And even now Americans are barely doing dick squat to stop literally anything he does. He represents Americans, he is the personification of the USA.

    We've just held one of the largest protests in American history, dozens of citizens have put themselves in danger to try to stop masked ICE thugs from abducting their neighbors, the city of LA is still under occupation by the marines, and four politicians have been arrested for opposing the regime, but yeah, we weren't able to change tariff policy, so we're barely doing shit. I mean, the tariff policy did change multiple times because of public outcry, but still, great point dude. Here I thought you were just too stubborn to admit you didn't know shit about Maine or its governor when you made the meme, but now I see how deep and insightful you really are.

    I mean, there's ongoing court cases about possible election interference, but go off I guess

    It implies that the election was stolen.

    You know, like in the corollary to the concept of the Big Lie, "accuse your opponent of what you plan to do?"

    Pretty simple logic chain there when your core premise is "mock people for something they didn't do"

    This sounds like a problem that could have been solved in 2021, 22, or 23.

    Feel free to yell at Biden about it, I do too, but wouldn't you also complain about people not having voted for FemBiden who was going to do the exact same thing about Trump as he did, nothing?

    Not just Biden. And don't blame Harris either with that shitty "FemBiden" bullshit.

    Every. Last. American. Who. Didn't. Push. For. Congress. To. Prosecute. Is. Responsible.

    You as a Nation had years to deal with this and enforce your own laws.
