Republicans in VT are old school? Have you been to the NEK? It's Trump land over here. Not a day goes by that I don't hear someone complain how.... "nobody wants to work any more" or some other Fox News talking point.

I have a Republican acquaintance that lives near Milton. He loves to go off and talk about how his daughter wakes at 4am for hockey practice, and although she only plays 1-2 minutes a game, she’s more dedicated than most kids cause she wakes at 4am for practice and then skates on their home rink after school.

One of these days, I’m going to snap, “she’s not special, every person on the team is doing what she does and more. Some have to work after school. Some don’t have the privilege of a private skate rink. Lastly, working with less than she has, nearly the entire team gets more on game skate time than your “hard working” daughter so that should tell you something about her. “

Vocal minority I would say. Essex is a red county to be fair but it's Trump land in Lamoille too and we are still a blue county by a longshot.
