Personally I hope New Yorkers get everything done to them that they wish to export to the rest of the country. I hope they are all disarmed. I hope their taxes go through the roof. I hope that they have restrictions on how much water they can use. I hope that the amount of motor fuel they can use is rationed. I hope that any vehicle they can buy has to get 500 miles to the gallon, etc. New Yorkers deserve to get what they voted for and get it good and hard.

I don't blame you for feeling that way, but NY is really two states; "upstate" NY is pretty much like Ohio or Tennessee, somewhat right of center, with pockets of liberals in the cities. NYC, Long Island, and the NYC and Albany bedroom counties are hard left, and they outnumber the "upstate" population.

We know. When we refer to NY in this way it is toward metro NYC and similar mindsets. It’s like Chicago..and then there is the rest of Illinois. They both should be made into’ city/states and their representatives’ collective asses kicked out of the state legislature and no vote allowed by their miserable residents.

I lived in Ithaca while I was getting a degree from Cornell. AND I can guarantee you that not only the faculty, but the citizenry in general in that area belonged philosophically and attitudinally (at the time and probably still do) in the old Soviet Union. I found a couple of hunters who didn't hate all guns, but thought handguns should be banned because you can't use them for hunting.

I found extreme hatred, envy, and resentment for anyone who was successful. Then to make matters worse I got a job on the outskirts of NYC (lived in the northern edge of the Bronx - worst place I ever lived) and the leftism didn't just double down there, but increased by an order of magnitude. There are probably a few hundred thousand New Yorkers (total in the state) who don't deserve to have the same fate that they want for the rest of us, but as far as the rest of them go, they can all cheerfully go to hell.
