You think we Vermonters are doing that, well you are wrong, the intense influx of Connecticut and New Jersey/ York along with the Students in the major urban areas (we really don't have cities) all vote Progressive,  also mind you anyone GenX and above were raised fiscal Conservatives with a true Liberal/Libertarian bent....now most who would vote their concious are either so wrapped up into a welfare system/drug addiction they cannot get out of their own way let alone vote and some of the rest are just frustrated. That all said I believe it can change, we can move away from one party rule, we just need enough energy and candidates who believe they can win.
