Checking in from Vermont
Checking in from Vermont
Just another traditional American who has had enough and hoping to be part of the solution. While Vermont is typically viewed as an extremely sympathetic to communist ideology, there more patriots here than one might think.

Re: Checking in from Vermont
Welcome aboard!
While VT does seem to be all kinds of socialist/statist in mentality (hey y’all elected Bolshevik Bernie to everything from Burlington mayor to Representative to Senator - multiple times over), I am aware that there are quite a few liberty oriented types there as well. On top of that, VT had some of the best gun laws in the country, at least up until the last time I checked a few years ago.
Notably, you Greenies had the best concealed carry perspective before most of the other states got on the bandwagon (no permit needed, ever).
So a mixed bag, for sure.
I can relate, I’m a native North Carolinian and my state has turned solidly purple with a massive infestation of lefties over the past 40-50 years.
We voted for Reagan in 1976. It’s been a slow slide downhill since then.
Anyway you won’t find too many statist mindsets here…

Re: Checking in from Vermont
The large population centers of Vermont notably Burlington, Bennington and Brattleboro are infested with statist for sure. Get out into the rural areas and it becomes a differen story. Vermont is a place without the center , people here are either left wing shitbags repeating the party line or members of the dissident right quietly linking ammo.Atlas Shrug wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 10:50 pm Welcome aboard!
