[Its all of NY and NJ though. Even in the rural areas. They are, just like Connecticut, fake conservatives. But... conservatives. And they get exactly what they deserve.]
NY is basically run by NY city and other metropolitan areas (Buffalo, Albany to a lesser extent). With a huge rural land mass upstate that could be mistaken for any state in the Midwest.
It’s “Basically” run by NYC and those upstate will tell you this within the first sentence of a conversation.
But those same people tell me that no one needs large capacity mags, no one needs an AR15 and that they are just fine with woodenstocks and fudd-guns.
Then they come to my area in PA and walk all over everyone and p!$$ all over everything. They move here and bring their votes with them. They came to the area and spoiled our midterm election results (Still republican, but the dem numbers were WAY higher than they were 2 years ago)
I’m just as sick of people from NYS as I am of those from NYC.
