Contesting the Progressives’ Takeover of Vermont

September 19, 2019 By John Klar

Recently, the state of Vermont announced that pension and health benefits for state employees and teachers are underfunded to the tune of $4.5 billion (in a tiny state of just 627,180 residents).  Then, in protest against Trump administration rule changes, it diverted some $750,000 from state coffers (each year, indefinitely) to fund abortion services through Planned Parenthood rather than continue to accept federal subsidies which had been proffered since 1970. ..........

Those “alienated and deviant members of society” are indeed imposing their new ideas on Vermonters: labeling natives racist, championing the progressive front of extremist abortions, transgender surgeries, schoolchildren activism, carbon taxes, and minimum wages.  As desired, the locals are fleeing their native lands:..........Vermont’s progressives are deliberately heaping financial burdens on native Vermonters, even as they pile government rewards on welfare recipients, government employees, and favored progressive interests like Planned Parenthood, and “social justice” groups.  Black Lives Matter and Antifa are welcome: locals are denigrated and condemned.  The state is infamously offering $10,000 payments (from poor Vermonters’ pockets) to wealthy out-of-staters to relocate here. ..........

It has taken nearly 50 years for the hippie conquistadores to seed their Bohemian denizens in Bernieland.  After a failed effort in the late 1990s to “Take Back Vermont,” the real “first great test” is brewing.  The “new majority” will indeed be fragmented, then dispersed, as the indigenous Green Mountain population is woke and galvanized into a voting block of its own............

Vermonters’ tolerance of these foreigners has expired.  In 2020, Vermont will flip red, sharply reversing the fortunes of those who misjudged this brave little state.  The natives simply can’t afford not to reclaim their heritage.........To Read More.....

My Take - First of all, I don't think Vermont is going to go red because this has been going on for decades and these people kept electing obvious lunatics to their local and state governments, and to the federal government.  Does this author mean to tell me Vermonters didn't  notice what was going on all this time?  I don't have the least bit of sympathy for them.  They're getting exactly what they deserve.  If they move out, even better, because what eventually will be left will all be losers living in a socialist paradise.  Only socialist paradises all resemble bankruptcy and dystopia.
