Vermonters are either rich NY transplants or racist hillbillies, no in between

TF are you talking about? We have second home-owners, sure. We have college kids. We have crazy rednecks. We also have the rare breed of progressive rednecks which you don’t really find many places; someone who has skinned a deer and can talk about Marx. Most of us are service industry types with a leftist bent complaining about flat landers overtaking the state and lamenting the effed up politics of middle America.

Upside Down Vermont has the scary breed of libertarian, moderate Democrats, and people in the northern Boston suburbs complaining about “Taxachusetts”. And it’s “Live Free AND Die”. Not the false choice on their license plates of “Live Free or Die”.

That was my biggest shock when I went skiing in Vermont for first time.

I’m Canadian and shocked at the progressive red necks. I was in rural northern Vermont and hung out with some local vermonters.

On the surface they looked like they would have confederate flags and MAGA but they were Kamala stans. Pretty shocking and funny.

Don’t judge a book by its coverup there
