Vermont was considered a red state from the 1860's until the 1980's. And "take back Vermont" was a slogan against civil unions, not a slogan for the Republican party. But go off genius. So you're still wrong. And fuck Trump.

Hey, I'm the same age as you and I agree. Vermont has changed so rapidly and yet so many people are either blind or refuse to see it. Somehow the idea that Vermont is the land of ultra progressive ideas and the home of socialist Bernie has brought people with radically different beliefs into the state. Vermont was once a "red" state, but even back then Vermont republican and Democrats were so similar it'd be difficult to tell the difference. Farmer Democrats used to make up the bulk of voters, and were totally different from the current imported Democrats. Vermonters used to be known for being kind, hard working people. Now they're just seen as east cost Portland. It's sad. I miss the old Vermont.
