Reply to comment by somedudevt in Republicans in Vermont? by rolloofnormandy50

So 18% of the state is crazy republicans… that leaves a whole lot of normal republicans in addition to right leaning independents that voted for prop 5 and weren’t “outnumbered.”

I don’t think being a truck mechanic is a qualification for political science. It clearly hasn’t helped with understanding how republicans that voted for prop 5 aren’t the same as national republicans 🤷🏼‍♂️

I mean if 2/3 republicans are the nuts ones, that leaves 1/3 of them as not. That’s not a large portion or large number. Spend 10 minutes on a pro 2a Vermont Facebook page, or go to a Republican rally. They are fucking insane (as a pro 2a liberal who thought showing support at the state house was a good idea, I can tell you that they are INSANE!!!)

Lol… look at a Facebook group? And I suppose you think Reddit is a good indication of political ideologies too people’s opinions too…

You forgot about right leaning independents/centrist, which would make that 18% if the population more of a fringe group. Kind of like progressives don’t represent all democrats…
