“New Yawk”, It figures. “New Yawk” has ALWAYS been a TORY Stronghold since before the American Revolution!
Wrong. I corrected it.
Most of the upstate was always a bastion of Patriot sentiment, although (like every other Colony) they did have their share of Tories. Upstate New York is still Patriot Country (outside of the cities). That is where the resistance is coming from against Cuomo and the Commie registration scheme.
By and large, upstaters detest the City and it's Liberal control freaks. They are just badly outnumbered because the City (the Tories) votes 3 to 1 Democrat and governs like Shitcago (another Commie bastion).
