Where I grew up, Italian neighborhoods were always pretty much split half-Dem, half-Republican.
In Philly, they were majority Dem because of Frank Rizzo mostly. Same with the Irish.
It’s only recently they leaned repub.
Staten Island is maybe 65/35?
i just know in my group we are all Rs and as the older ones die, we will be even more R.
The old ones, they still have that tinge of socialism taught to them by their parents who came over.
I will be sad to see the older ones pass but not sad to see the socialist/unionist tendencies go.
We lost our house seat here because of the russians and albanians in the brooklyn part of our district and also because they are multiplying like rabbits on Staten island too.
Some group always has to come along and ruin a good thing
