80% of Maine....the Second Congressional District....is Trump Country.
He carried this district in both 2016 and 2020 for one Electoral vote.
Strong Second Amendment country.
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have Constitutional Carry.
Texas and Florida do not.
New Hampshire has a Republican governor and legislature.
Not everyone in New England is bat crap crazy.
Therein lies the rub. There are no Blue States. There a Blue Urban areas that have enough people, maybe, to tilt the politics their way. The majority of the respective states are conservative. Aside from maybe one or two in New England, damn every state is predominantly RED.
Let’s say, God willing, this happens and Illinois secedes. Take away the three big urban areas out and Illinois is about as RED as it gets. Virginia, NY, California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, etc etc etc. what happens when all of Pennsylvania, except for Philly, Harrisburg and Pittsburg don’t want in on the Blue State Secession. They want to stay with the folks in the RED areas.
