Agree with what you are saying about Rudy. While socially liberal, he is patriotic and pro-American.
As for “Wilhelm DeBlasio” - as someone who is partially of German ancestry, we don’t want to claim him either! Would rather point to someone of German background who has done more for the city than most of the politicians - Donald Trump!
The Donald is part German. Awesome!!!
Dont know if there’s a big German vote in the five boroughs though :)
but he didn’t win with Italians. He won with Blacks, Hispanics, gays, Jews and Asians. Although I’m sure enough other white idiots voted for him.
The last two groups i dont get. The Jewish an Asians.
They are very successful, commit almost zero crime and yet want the streets to be unsafe and pay more taxes. confuses the heck out of me.
Many years ago, and my Uncle still refers to it and you can find it on web, the upper east side used to be called GermanTown. I guess because it was mostly German. Interesting tidbit.
