having reflected on it, I think only two areas of the UK actually LIKED the EU
London, which is the only British City to have really become an EU city and I think the only place that really liked (two-way) free movement
Scotland. Which saw very little immigration

well... polls closed in Maine, time to fire up a giant industrial fan and walk into it.
Also I think EU membership had gotten tied up with the idea of independence, Scotland without the rest of the UK would be much poorer and economically isolated, so the fantasy was Scotland in the EU would get EU support to not have a lower standard of living post exit
I think this misses what happened.
oh the low population and its whiteness helped it be successful for sure
but Platner is not some kind of organic outgrowth of Maine, he was the cardboard cutout for a massive DC consultant and out of state money campaign
and it could happen in your state
