The first time I saw one of those stickers on the back of a truck, I only got a quick glance and I swore it said Slut Life. I was very confused.

I moved here from California when I was 25, the ultimate flatlander according to the local union boys. My 60 yr old work partner was convinced I89 ruined everything. I wore the moniker with pride, rode my CA plate motorcycle into Dec. 35 years later I’m assimilated but still a flatlander.

typically flatlander vermonters that haven't earned their standing. takes years to become a vermonter.

nah the rules changed. if you can stomach a few winters - you've earned your spot.

I don't call the refugee community flat landers - they are welcome with open arms. They are good folk and always have my support.

there's other states they can flock to. I am certain the climate here in vt is not what they are used to anyways.. plus floridians have enough property bought up here in VT to start a revolution. good riddance.

ha it was just a joke but seriously - there's a lot of floridians (typically elderly and white) that own a summer house up this way and complain about property taxes.

which is why if I was a smarter, more educated person, I'd draft a 21 point plan to get vermont into manufacturing! but that's a whole other conversation.

You aren’t a Vermonter unless you were born on Vermont soil.

Lol. Not sure why I was downvoted. I have generations of ancestors in this state and that’s what I was always told. We call people like Bernie “honorary vermonters.”
