Vermont....what happened to the farmers and generations of poor rural people? Are they ultra liberal now? I don’t get it

They moved out when the barbarian hordes from Massachusetts overran the state.

they are still there but not many

for years liberals, aging hippies and homo’s moved tot he state as they were outcasts but then they started to get a foot hold of the state and now are in charge of it.

Believe it or not but on a couple of homo sites they actually tell homo’s where to move and whom to vote for so the agenda can be pushed.
Once it has been done then they move on

Look at the MA homo’s who first got married, they moved to other states and did tings like well I want a divorce you have to recognise my marriage or we are here in this new state and we want benefits

It is not marriage they want but it is their agenda tom be accepted and pushed onto the masses

Like I said the only way people will now wake up is for every kind of group to use the same argument for their marriage to be legal.
Every argument the homo’s used can be used for other groups and the judges cannot by rights stop their kind of marriage.

Vermont got invaded by the “back to the landers” big time in the 60s and 70s. Then the flatlander Massholes and New Yorkers started moving in. And there are a bunch of liberal colleges here that attract students that tend not to move back out of the state.

The old-time conservative Vermonters (like my in-laws) are VERY outnumbered.

One interesting thing is that even the conservative ones have a strong libertarian streak in them that sometimes surprises me. They aren’t conservatives like you find in the south, where there is more of a homogenous conservative/Christian/anti-gay/anti-abortion population.
It’s much more varied here - a self-described conservative up here may be fiscal only, or just a few of the above characteristics, or all of them, in varying combinations.

Thankfully they are almost all pro-gun, however (even the lefties here don’t seem to have problems with guns). One bright spot in an otherwise dismal political landscape.

Here’s what happened! Vermont’s Dairy Farms: 1947-11,206 farms to 2003-1,459 farms and probably less now with up to date 2009 data.

The people of Vermont have turned their back on God. The legislature has turned its back on the people, who have opposed this is all polls. The gaystapo figured out how to intimidate lawmakers and got their way.
