Most Patriotic States rankings
Vermont was #3
And Trump Derangment Syndrome was in full flower.
According to a recent poll by internet-based WalletHub, Vermont was behind only New Hampshire and Wyoming in terms of which states are most invested in patriotic pride, based on a range of 13 criteria.
Montpelier tried to improve the average on Wednesday.
Several floats making political protests included: Extinction Rebellion, which is fighting climate change; Sustainable Montpelier Coalition, with a cardboard float that is “recyclable” and will be used again next year; Vermonters for Palestinian and Migrant Justice; All Things LGBT; and Indivisible groups from Calais, Mad River Valley, Onion River (Plainfield/Marshfield), and the Northeast Kingdom, protesting the handling of the Mueller Report.
The top 5.

| 5 | Idaho | 61.62 | 9 | 7 |
Civic Engagement – Total Points: 75

As for a Civics Education I can only imagine the crap that’s being tought in Vermont Schools.
Military enlistees per capita Vermont ranked #47.
Vermont is a deep blue one party progressive democrat state with a liberal RINO goveneror.
The Vermont State animal should be the Jackass not the Catamount.
Personally I feel that this survey is a deeply flawed. But I guess for the Progressive Democrats of Vermont their idea of “Patriotism” is what this survey was looking for.
