Portageville is a town with about five ways in, and six ways out of which one is the cemetery. And it reflects what you will see all over New York State, except for the four counties on Manhattan and on Long Island next to it, with about seven million Democrat votes that topple the conservative-leaning remainder of the state. But in the country, if you want real conservative, settle there. Take your checkbook with you. And your handguns.
Portageville is a place I am very familiar with....
The funny thing is they act like it’s someplace out in the sticks....it;s actually on the edge fo Letchworth State Park, the Grand Canyon of the east and a very popular destination.
Try places like Portville, East Randolph, Great Valley, Frankinville, or Bolivar, Lowville, Boonville or Tupper Lake. They are devastated towns full of whites who supported Trump because there are NO jobs except working in the local mini-mart for minimum wage. They live in trailers or dilapidated houses that are uber-expensive to heat, and they can’t afford to repair because of the effect on their property taxes will render them unable to pay.
Yes, while Manhattan bustles, the rest of New York looks like Detroit writ large.
