This guy is completely irrelevant and has a less than zero chance of winning. People shouldn’t spend a second of their day thinking about him. Already seen way to many posts on here about him.

Just because he has no chance of winning doesn’t mean we can’t talk about how weird it is that a third of our state seems to have no problem with the guy.

Like, an anti-masking, January 6th-er who refuses to say that Joe Biden won a legitimate election is getting a not insignificant amount of people in Vermont to support him. Ignoring that is not a good idea, regardless of what his chances of winning are.

Yeah we should talk about these people before, you know, they make it illegal to criticize them. Not saying it will happen but if the rest of the country keeps voting in traitors...

Yeah, it's a troubling indicator. Or maybe it's a symptom of the problem. I'm not quite sure.

That’s a dangerous mindset to get comfortable with, I remember people saying the same thing about some boob from reality tv a while go and look where the country is now.

Yeah, ignoring problems and grossly underestimating the stupidity of people in groups is always a sound political strategy. Just like in 2015. Right?

Hard to ignore when his few supporters are obsessively placing his dumb signs on every square inch of land on every public road.

But how will they play the victim unless they convince everyone that this guy and everyone like him will be in charge?

So we shouldn't spend a second thinking about him but we also can't go anywhere without seeing this damn sign every 20ft. If he's going to spam us with that shit I think we have every right to endlessly mock him.

Because he absolutely spams the roadsides and peoples private lawns with his signs. Of course people are going make memes about scary eagle man

You're right, he won't win, but if you spend any time in local news communities you should be at least a little alarmed that the people who support him are even out there at all. Vermont has a creeping problem with racism and fascism, and we shouldn't write off the loonies just because they don't have a lot of numbers...yet.
