Here's a tip, Vermont is not liberal because you say it is, Vermont is
probably one of the few "Republics" left in this republic because they
assert state rights whenever possible. For example they don't even tie
into the Federal Gun Registry/Background check system. You can walk
into any hold mom and pop hardware, and walk out with your long gun.
Even Montana doesn't have as loose of Gun regulations as Vermont.
Betcha didn't know that!

If you want to get into that jive you will find the most social
stability, lowest crime, fewest cell towers in many Western states
that border (and are close to) Canada. And most have strong gun rights
laws and are as conservative as Vermont is liberal. States such as
Idaho, North Dakota, Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming. Minnesota and
Wisconsin are very frozen and white and liberal I will admit. All
those states are low on the racial diversity index including your
frozen liberal paradise known as Vermont which has hills/mountains
that kill cell reception
