Trump won Steuben County by 33 points.
Painted Post is near Corning and only an hour away from the Leftard region called Tompkins county aka Ithaca.
I didn't make my point clear. "NY State style socialism" was not referring to the attitudes of whoever votes. I was referring to the system they live under.
it means they bear the brunt of NY State's socialism. Its a poor rural county, there's a lot of welfare, high taxes, high government regulation, any industrial jobs left long ago, fracking is banned, there's a lot of drug addiction, and besides farming, the only decent jobs are State government jobs - and under present system of NY state government, that is not going to change.
Its exactly the sort of place JD Vance spoke about in his book "Hillbilly Elegy"
Most of NYS, including the Southern Tier, is MAGA red.
