::I'm not at all sure that {{w|Maine#State_and_local_politics|the stats}} actually match the supposed analogy, without a long stretch of imagination to ignore the 'purple divide' yet uncrossed. And I don't get the feeling that Randall would be even wanting to ''joke'' that anywhere may "suddenly become significantly redder". But that's just IMO.

: The 'slowly growing' part would be a reference to the fact that the population of Maine (as well that of most other states, the country, and the planet as a whole) has been steadily increasing for most of its history. Main has become significantly redder because even though it is still fairly blue it is ''less'' blue and therefore, in US political terminology, more red [[Special:Contributions/162.158.78.198|162.158.78.198]] 02:50, 10 September 2020 (UTC) 192.186.1.246[[Special:Contributions/172.69.135.170|172.69.135.170]] 06:37, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

No mention in the explanation about the fact that US states are also "stars" (50 stars for 50 states on the US flag)? Or is it just too obvious?[[Special:Contributions/162.158.154.185|162.158.154.185]] 08:23, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
