More than likely!

Hell he’d probably threaten to nuke us, our maple syrup is just that good

It’s pretty complicated. Our “red” looks nothing like the rest of Americas red. We’re not religious, and those who are keep it to themselves and have a live and let live philosophy. Evangelicalism is deeply unpopular here.

We’re a purple state locally, bright blue nationally. We voted like 80+% for Bernie and 70+% for Republican Phil Scott as governor.

I’d say we’re mostly small L libertarians - pro guns, pro LGBTQ, pro women’s rights, pro weed, strong social safety net for a small state. You also have la la land liberals in Burlington and montpelier who are completely out of touch with the rest of the state. I live in a “red” part of the state and have never felt threatened in the decade I’ve been here, most people are chill.

We’re also overwhelmed by rich asshole second+ homeowners from NYC and Boston but luckily they don’t vote in our elections but they greatly influence things despite that. And our legislature is comprised mostly by landlords which… is great for our housing crisis. /s

I grew up in the NYC metro area where I was routinely assaulted for being queer in the 90s. Hence my take no prisoners attitude when it comes to liberals protecting capital and aligning with fascists. Their support for my kind was never genuine and always performative rainbow capitalism.

Oh fuck off. I’m a queer woman in a blue state living under the anti democratic electoral college. Hold the fucking democrats responsible for their failures instead of crying to me about something I have ZERO control over. I could of voted for trump, Harris, Mickey Mouse, none of if would fucking matter. My state went to Holocaust Harris no matter who the fuck I voted for.

You know who said fuck you to all the above in your comment? THE DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY REFUSED TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY BY HOLDING LEGITIMATE PRIMARIES. THE BIDEN ADMIN WHEN THEY SLOW WALKED TRUMPS J6 INVESTIGATION. THE DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY SENT A BLANK CHECK TO ISRAEL SUPPORTING THEIR GENOCIDE, SOON TO COME HERE TO AMERICA. but like a fucking fool all you’ll do is vote for them over and over again expecting a different result. THEY brought us fascism. Not a fucking queer woman from vermont you fuck.

It was a fuck you to the US government. As if a party that doesn’t even get 1% of the vote would gain any power.

I guess next time I’ll just not vote, would that be better for you? Or should I continue to be backstabbed by democrats? Would that please you? Anyone who doesn’t support the genocide ticket is a fascist right? Typical lemmy.world user.

I voted for de la Cruz, party for socialism and liberation.

He wouldn’t be able to find vermont on map. Probably thinks we’re our own country already.

The US hasn’t won a war since ww2 so again, fuck around find out with the original guerrilla warriors.

We’re not an economic powerhouse, we have limited natural resources, and we have incredibly difficult terrain.

You don’t know me. You don’t think I’m organizing resistance on the ground? Fuck off. Fucking fed.

Another lemmy world lib for the block list.

Because it was a landslide. They lost the presidency, the senate, the house, state governments, local elections. My state lost the most seats.

Not calling it a landslide is liberal la la land refuse to self reflect cope.

The liberal media is the media of the oligarchs. Liberals protect capital. They’re not left.

I initially worked with the democrats believing they were genuine. They’re frauds. They’re a waste of time. All we have left is union organizing and violence.

Most heavily armed state in the country. Fuck around find out.

We were an independent republic before and we’ll become one again if we have to. Fuck the United States.

His own words implied a one term presidency! All his campaign staff and media were saying so! Stop fucking gaslighting it’s fucking embarrassing. Liberals using pretzel logic to excuse a fucking genociding liar. Pathetic. Do fucking better. Stop simping for horrible people.

Biden will be remembered as one of the worst presidents in history for good fucking reason. He was an atrocious failure and did nothing not a goddamn fucking thing to stop fascism.

15 day old account where every comment is biden cope? Go back to bluesky DNC shill. Blocked.

I’m not voting for a genocider period. I voted third party which is a vote against genocide. I have zero regrets and am enjoying the liberal fucking meltdown over it.

Edit: The bridge candidate stuff is just fluff to get people to not worry about his age, it doesn’t mean anything. It is certainly not a promise of anything.

BULLSHIT. It was clearly implied he’d be a one term candidate. His own fucking words which he took back when convenient because he’s a fucking narcissist. All the liberal media saying it. All the “Biden campaign sources” saying it.

Stop fucking gaslighting it’s embarrassing.

That’s why numerous liberal media sources reported otherwise? The people who suck the democrat party’s dick for a living?

Nah. When he ran in 2020 he made it seem like he’d be one term. He’s playing both sides. I can’t believe you fall for his fucking lies.

Edit: he promised to be a “bridge candidate” to younger candidates, implying a one term presidency which he then pretended he didn’t say. I feel like I live in the fucking twilight zone being gaslit by blue MAGA twats.

Oh for fucks sake. Electoral college. I’m in a solid blue state it doesn’t fucking matter who the fuck I vote for or if I vote at all. But even if I was in a swing state there’s no way in fucking hell id be voting for a genocider and liberals need to get that through their thick fucking minds instead of smugly admonishing and tsk tsking everyone with fucking morals who refused to vote for that piece of shit.

This is NOT the way to win elections and blue MAGA is too high on their own supply to understand why they fucking lost in a landslide.

DEMOCRATS ARE TO BLAME FOR TRUMPS RETURN. RUN A COMPETITIVE PRIMARY AND THIS WOULD OF NEVER HAPPENED.

also in my state I can vote for whoever I want in a primary. I can vote in the democrat or Republican or progressive (state party) primary. Another +1 for Vermonts pro democracy policies.

Liberal media claimed otherwise.

You’re right, I voted for biden in 2020 which is one of my biggest regrets in life.

He’s the genocider. Meanwhile trump got his peace deal signed which means for eight fucking months this could of happened under biden but that senile racist Zionist fuck wrote a blank check to Israel instead.

Love liberal logic. Genocide is ok as long as it’s brown people abroad!

If trump starts a trade war or physical war or even goes after Greenland I foresee Canada shutting off our electric (hydro Quebec) in retaliation. It would force our secession to save ourselves. Vermont routinely goes well below 0F in the winter for weeks on end, and hydro Quebec is where we get I believe a third of our energy. If not a third a very significant amount that we can’t go without.

I can also see them shutting off oil and gas pipelines to other states but that doesn’t affect vermont. But those states might also secede over it. Fuck with cold states energy infrastructure in winter and we won’t have a choice.

Also our constitution protects abortion, and I can see that also being a factor in us going back to being an independent republic or even joining Canada if they’ll take us. We have a substantial French Canadian population here.

I don’t think it would be like the civil war, most Americans couldn’t point to vermont on a map and were not economically important.

If trump tries to fuck around with Canada my state will secede more than likely. Canada will retaliate by shutting off our electric which would be a death sentence in the winter.

That and the abortion rights and the fact we were previously an independent republic, it’s looking like we’re going back to being independent.
