” VT used to be a stronghold of Republicanism going all the way back to before the Civil War. Then they let hippies from NYC and Boston in and there goes the neighborhood.”
Yep, it started in the late 60’s. It only took 20 years to ruin the state.
It’s hard to believe that Vermont and Maine were the only two states to reject FDR in all four elections, yet today are cesspools of liberalism gone amok. (Yes I know Maine has a GOP Governor and controls the legislature, but the progressive stink is still strong.)
