Vermont is a weird place.
Very redneck, in a good way-rugged people, and Republican on the part of the folks that are actually from there.
Then you have the ski towns that are filled with rich liberals from other places like NYC, that would have you think they should be considered mountain men, except for the Range Rover and All-Wheel Drive Porsche SUV they’re driving.
Then the radical left wing college towns and all the academic staff, while all the maintenance folks are Republicans.
And the state has a really bad pill and opioid problem.
But don’t worry, Soetero dumped a bunch of Syrians in a heavy Republican district years ago. https://www.wfdd.org/story/vermont-town-divided-over-syrian-refugees
If folks are considering moving to Vermont (or NH) the key is elevation (assuming no ski resorts):
The valleys = lefties
The mountains = salt of the earth conservatives
Plus the weak minded indoctrinated in the "education" system.
