    Imagine living in Vermont and allowing yourself to be convinced that the border in Texas is the number one issue your country can solve for you. For context, the closest point in Vermont to the closest point on the border is 1800 miles and change. For European context, that’s just about the same as the distance from Madrid to Helsinki

      How many brown people can possibly be in VERMONT?! Just looked, it’s around 1 in 10. They’re up there with Maine and New Hampshire FFS.
