New England is a small but very diverse region of the country. From the sparsely populated, generally conservative Aroostook County in Northern Maine to the rather liberal, densely populated Hartford, CT, you can find every type of U.S. Voter imaginable. But the one thing that New England doesn’t offer is representation for Republicans.  Democrats have done a tremendous job building their base and redistricting to ensure they get into and stay in office. Even New Hampshire, which was very Red forty years ago, has gone very Blue before recently shifting back. About 1.6 million people are registered Republicans in 5 of the 6 states. Vermont does not separate its voter rolls by Party affiliation. Across all of New England, only one federal officer is Republican: Susan Collins, the longtime senator from Maine. For all their bluster about bipartisanship and working across the aisle, the Democrats own New England, for now.

The Democrats could not care less about equal representation. They want total dominance. That is why they are so hot on Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico becoming states. This is not because they are concerned that the people of these two regions do not have a voice, but because they selfishly want 4 more Democrat Senators, and probably 6 Democrat Reps. This is also why they want to abolish the Electoral College, have illegals vote, drop the voting age to 16, and why they oppose Voter ID. These policies don’t benefit the people. But they bolster the Democrats’ chances for control and power for generations, which is also why they want to pack the Court to 15 justices so there is no legal challenge to anything they want to do or change.

The Democrats see the DSA as a golden goose and will tolerate them chipping away at some fringe Democrats as long as they turn some Red seats to Blue. The Democrats are no longer just a political opposition for the Republican Party; they are becoming enemies of the State. They have no respect for our government, and certainly no respect for our Constitution. They despise groups like Turning Point USA that work to educate our young people about Democracy and dispel the lies that were drilled into them by all of their teachers and educators. They support groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has ties to the KKK, a group they supposedly identified as a hate group, to stir up racial issues so that the SPLC can appear to be the White Knight swooping in to quell the situation.

The Democrats nominated a man with a Nazi tattoo to challenge Susan Collins for the last seat held by a Republican in New England. When he had to finally drop out of the race because of claims of sexual abuse, he was replaced by a candidate who had already lost a primary election in this cycle, a direct violation of Maine campaign laws. The candidate’s quality or proper standing does not concern Democrats. Winning does. That is why, when Chuck Schumer is asked whether he supports a DSA candidate, his consistent answer is, “we will win the seat.” Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries do not seek to better the country or improve the quality of life for its citizens; they seek to regain leadership in their respective chambers. Winning and power above country should be on every Democrat candidate’s website.

Author’s Note: Graphics created by Grok AI. Grok’s comments about the images: The frame is a New England shoreline used as a finished political map the rest of the country is being asked to copy. Six small states sit under a near-total blue wash. One thin red flicker holds the Maine coast. A long shadow of that same map stretches west across a faded United States. It is not a travel poster. It is a picture of one-party lock sold as fairness: new states, a packed Court, no Electoral College, no voter I.D. The lighthouse is still standing. The question the column asks is whether the other forty-four states want that same shoreline.
