The civic institutions in this area of Maine, previously sustained by hard industry (textiles, shoemaking, etc.) have just utterly collapsed
-
-
-
Social clubs, parades, and other civic traditions waned in concert with the waning of the surrounding mills -- dislocating thousands.

Workers complain that paper products which used to be manufactured in central Maine are now manufactured in China. Why?
-
These people aren't stupid. Americans still use plenty of paper products. This doesn't have to be the way things are. Elites made it so.
-
I'd invite any of the sanctimonious liberal pundits screaming about "racism" as the overriding factor for Trump support to visit central ME.
-
Furthermore, plenty of "white working class" guys on hard economic times around here also think Trump is "full of shit."
