Because Donald Trump returned to the White House, Democratic mayors and governors have avoided to take a position against the Republican president – with one grim exception in the deep blue northeast.
Governor Janet Mills van Maine is engaged in an angry face-off with Trump about transatations that her voters has divided, has fueled a harmful petition and politics in the mostly sleepy state capital, Augusta.
A state known for its rocky coastline and tasty lobsters has been roasted by protests, because a quiet Republican minority has come into effect as foot soldiers on the front of Trump's war on Wokery.
Maine's house is recorded by a collision between Laurel Libby, a Gop -State representative who has “surpassed a transstudentatleet on social media and the Democrat majority that has made its voting rights until she apologizes.
Libby told DailyMail.com that she will never say 'sorry' for the women and girls who are pushed off the stage by biological men, and revealed plans to complain the politicians who are chewing her.
But Maine's biggest problem in this crisis can be financially with no less than $ 500 million in federal educational financing at stake, in a tax and edition of blue state that is already $ 450 million about budget.
Now, Libby, her colleagues and the angry Maga voters from Maine, say that Mills has chosen a deep unpopular policy – support for transatletes – as a 'hill to die' that can damn her political career.
They see an opportunity to put an end to the stranglehold that Democrats have had about the politics of Maine, and their 'Trifecta' control over the country house of the governor and both legislative houses in the last six years.
“People just want to see someone stand up against the tyrant,” Libby told DailyMail.com.

About 27,000 people have signed a petition to end the agency of the Governor
The State of Pine Tree has passed liberals for six years by pushing their ideology through transactions, Covid Lockdowns and tax increases, she says, and Trump's spit with Mills lets them express their frustration.
“This case has received so much attention, it has encouraged people to get up and make their voices heard,” she adds.
The crisis started at the end of last month, when Trump spared with mills during an event of the White House about her decision to follow the state laws about having biological men compete against girls at school sport events.
Maine is one of the executive orders of Trump from the light, which says that competing against stronger, faster, biological men and girls will rule out fair athletic opportunities' and threatens to reduce federal financing when it happens.
Trump confronted Mills about this in the State's dining room – said Maine would lose money and the governor could be kicked out of office in 2026. Both said they expected that the dispute would end 'in court'.
Mills is not alone in this fight. The Association of Maine Principals, which rules high school sports in the state, says that the transgender female athletes will continue to compete, despite the executive Order of Trump.
Proponents of Trans -Athletes say that the physical differences between the sexes are exaggerated and that it is more important that transgender people are not held on the sidelines because of their gender identity.
This gets little grip with voters, even among liberals. Recent IPSOS survey showed that an overwhelming 79 percent of American voters want biological men from women's sports, including more than two -thirds of the Democrats.
Days later, Libby shared a Facebook message with a man-to-feminine High School student on the stage of the winner, after beating organic girls in pole vaulting. As a boy, the previous year, he only came for fifth place in the same competition.

Trump has threatened to lower federal education financing to Maine, which can rise to no less than $ 500 million in two years
The post about the Trans Teen, a short -haired 'John' who was a weakened, long -haired 'katie' 12 months later, touched a nerve and attracted 61,000 reactions, many who express anger about the shorter female vaulters who lost their shots at Glory.
It also led to an angry declaration among state democrats, who voted to censor Libby, and said it was irresponsible to eliminate the teenager. Libby cannot vote for accounts or speak on the floor of the house until she apologizes.
The former Firebrand nurse says that she will not go back and have unveiled plans for a lawsuit in the first amendment against the Democrats who bragged her, and effectively also its inhabitants in Auburn.
She focuses on Ryan Fecteau, the Democratic House speaker, who is said to have deactivated his X account with hours of the censorship voice, after he was flooded with criticism from supporters of Libby.
A user called him a 'spinless, Feckless, coward who clearly hates young girls'.
Tensions have pursued a weekend of protests against Mills and Maine's Transatleet policy, with hundreds of gathering in the Staatshuis. They coincided with smaller, pro-mills and anti-Trump meetings throughout the state.
More than 27,000 people have also signed a petition to recall Mills, a symbolic step because Maine has no recall provisions. It accuses her of worsening tensions between rural mainers and those in cities and along the well -to -do liberal coast.
One of the organizers of the protest, Earl Holt, a garden architect and former national guard who lives in a small city in Sidney, Mills calls a 'shame' that is not at the touch with voters.
“Trump Derangement Syndrome got better of her,” Holt told DailyMail.com.
“She digs her heels on a subject whose majority of Americans and the whole human population know it is complete.”

Maine is expected to see more protests as the fight between Mills and Trump intensifies
The tensions that were re -assembled on Thursday, with revelations that the Trump government found Maine in violation of the federal rules about protecting women in education, while rejecting pressure on the controversial governor.
Mills can prepare to reverse the course. This week she said that the state policy with regard to Trans -Athletes was 'worthy of a debate' and indicated that it was not the legislative power – not the governor – to define the rules for transatletes.
Libby, who is being tipped to be Maine's GOP candidate in 2026 in 2026, says that she expects the crisis to deepen when she tightens her lawsuit and, in the coming weeks, when Transpole Vaulter Katie then competes in a tournament.
“We will continue to see Mainers talking about this, because we are zero to ensure that biological men have no room in women's sport,” Libby added.
