The “blue collar working class” of Long Island voted for Rats overwhelmingly who then brought in tens of millions of people to compete with them for jobs and space.
The result was easy to predict: Said Working Class got pushed out.
Apparently they were too stupid to make the connection between mass immigration and skyrocketing land prices, reduced wages, and Affirmative Action preferences for anyone with a skin tone biased towards the Southern climates.
So they can kiss Sag Harbor goodbye and say hello to South Jersey. Still got cheap houses in the swamps.
I suspect the “blue collar working class” of Long Island has been comprised primarily of GOVERNMENT employees.
