Reply to comment by Necessary_Cat_4801 in Vermont’s rates of homelessness are (almost) the worst in the country by DaddyBobMN

In my time here I've experienced this. I'd do some research on something about Vermont and when the answer, from data and reliable sources, was at odds with what some of my Vermonter friends and neighbors grew up believing they often just dismissed the information.

Anything that paints VT as something other than a liberal utopia welcoming to all is dismissed. The cognitive dissonance of a state that is increasingly exclusive and the desire to be welcoming to everyone is too much for some people.
