Publisher’s Note: Four years ago, on the heels of POTUS Donald J. Trump’s January 2017 inauguration, we at Vermont Independent published Plan V: Toward A Second Vermont Republic, making the case for our 2VR in 5,000 words.

As we wrote four years ago, “global Trumpism has proved a game-changer, accelerating events, laying naked the Empire as never before, and awakening US citizens from their slumber.”

Much has happened in four years – and this unfolding 2021 US COVIDtastrophe and US Constitutional Crisis will continue to challenge all citizens of courage and conscience in the months ahead.

Meet the new acting POTUS of the US Empire. Nothing to see here. Move along.

How will this end, for the citizens of Vermont?

That’s up to us.

Masked, cold, alone, in a corner, having been used and cast aside by the Empire? (See above. )

Let’s hope not.

“The Gods of the Empire are not the Gods of Vermont!”

Happy Vermont Independence month – see you Outside!
