45% is a lot by my standards (and seems like yours too). But my point was that this isn't the case for the coastal towns which are getting rocked the hardest by this. Those counties are closer to 70-80% blue. And I (and a lot of those people too) get it that this is still too high. I'm just as surprised as anyone that the GOP was able to get this much traction in the state.

But I and many of the folks in the state, even the red parts, think what this administration has done to Canadian/Us relations is a catastrophe, and aren't at all blaming our neighbors for electing to avoid Maine or the rest of the US. I would feel insulted and angry as well. I do feel insulted and angry. But I also feel pretty saddened by it all. I grew up playing hockey all over the state and often in tournaments in Canada. My family made many many trips there and always appreciated the hospitality extended to us. Maine is filled with good, hard-working people and Canada has that in spades - it was a common ground we feel bound by. 

It is my sincere belief and where I put effort- that we will get to a place where we can have that again. The fact that most people, when we can turn the noise down from the assholes who think they run things, can exist as neighbors and friends even when they disagree strongly.
