I compeltely understand where you’re coming from. As I have stated, my sister and I are red blooded Conservative Americans; which is why we want OUT of NY.
My little village that I work and live in (Huntington Village, NY) is conservative. Every “fest” we have, I am my own “one man band” Tea Party.
But yet I am consistently disappointed when the elections are over that my Conservative “peeps” have lost.
Probably explains why I hate to leave my own little village.
