To the editor:

I grew up in Western Maine, a rural area, comprised of many conservative and lower-middle-class families. I identified, and even registered, as a Republican in my first election in 2008. I thought that the Republican viewpoint was tried and true, because that’s how I was raised, and I didn’t have enough exposure or examples growing up to know better.
