This is true but coming from elsewhere and hearing how tried and true blue VT was my whole life it was still a surprise. It didn't match the reputation.

vermont has a reputation among a lot of progressive americans as being some post-racial paradise, similar to how canada is romanticized. and sure, its a good deal more progressive in vermy than a lot of states, but theres bigoted pricks everywhere on earth.
