This is reminiscent of the story Solzhenitsyn tells of the district that went ahead and collectivized its farms on its own before the Soviet government was able to get its own collectivization program started. All the organizers were shot.

You may or may not be aware that Mr. Solzhenitsyn lived for 20 years in... where else... Vermont! With an avowed socialist representative!

Quite apart from the idiot representatives and all the lib NYers and Massholes (not to mention all the hippies in Bennington), VT is an incredibly beautiful state. I’d love to live there, if it weren’t for the politics. I’ve often lamented that the birthplace of the American Revolution, as well as the Green Mountain Boys, Samuel Adams, et al has turned into such a liberal s#ithole. If New England ever manages to throw off the liberal invasion and return to Rock-Ribbed Yankee land, I’ll move back.
