I grew up in East Lyme, and like many of my friends, my father worked at Electric Boat.

Of course the Democrats would close a major part of the economy to punish someone politically. The left is infamous for harming (or outright killing, depending on the culture) the citizens of a place for political misdeeds. It’s been that way since the Committee for Public Safety started executing priests and nuns for not towing the party line. So - no surprise here.

I also remember being a teenager in the 1970s and seeing what happened when Pres. Carter cancelled the submarine contracts. My hometown became a boarded-up ghost town - I moved away. Sad to see the Democrats are still treating southeastern Connecticut with the same disdain.

I echo your sentiments. Orange County has always been a thorn in the Dems side, here, in Calif; let the record show the OC vote plurality, in 1990 denied DiFi the governorship that she lost. I found it to be no coincidence that a few years later, during the Clinton administrations, our two big military bases, El Toro and Tustin USMC Air Stations were shuttered. Everything with these clowns is about politics and power, first. Anyone who thinks that there is not at least a kernel of truth in this threat against Lieberman and Conn is sadly mistaken.
