Vermont is this awesome liberal, rural utopia. It's kind of unlike anywhere else I've been. There's a lot to like about it.

Until you live there.  Then, see my post.  (we used to love visiting, too)  ETA:  Now that I live here, I see the rampant racism and super-privileged outlook that really reigns.

Yeah, TBH, I almost added "if you're white" to my post because I know there are certainly issues.

100% this. I always thought of VT as exactly as described above. Then I became an adult and I see the racism daily and it is so hard. I am not a city person (I like my rural life), but I keep leaning more and more towards moving to a more diverse area so my son can experience the culture that is lacking in this area and not just become some naive, racist asshole that I encounter so often.

We spend a lot of time in Manchester, it’s my happy place!
