Your observations are exactly right. Vermont Republicans (elected ones - especially Gov Scott) think that being a Republican means being a better technocrat than the democrats. They believe in government being the savior of the people - they just think they can do it better. In this case they think centralizing power in their hands is a winning formula. In that sense they aren’t the least bit conservative and are not at all principled. It’s complete folly.

First time I recall you criticizing Republicans. Thank you. No party has the right answers all of the time.
It's called compromising with the devil.
Bull's eye.
