There are plenty of Trump as well as Confederate flags around. I don't think those folks are flying them just for fun.

They are very sparse compared to other states. Truly a minority in Vermont.

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.

I’m moving up soon from Mississippi….why in the hell would anyone in Vermont fly a confederate flag?

It’s been adopted by the ‘I am a racist and proud to be’ jerks. See also Ram pickup.
