I’m 5th generation Irish on my father’s side. My Dad, WWII Navy veteran of the Battle of Okinawa and Normandy had a good head on his shoulders — a Reagan Democrat.
And he died at 67 years old before the current era of DemocRAT idiocy and Uniparty evolved.
But when I look at some of the thinking of my relatives back in Mass, I see a lot of bull-headed Irish logic. There’s a certain parochial pride that is idiotic the closer you live to downtown Boston. They call Boston the “Hub of the Universe”.
But the ‘burbs are where some of the finest technological and entrepreneurial minds in the country live.
Yes, they are certainly headed to “withering”. Then again, the failure of the Democrat Pols in this refusal to get back to work may et the wheels in motion for a political revolt. We can only hope.
On the Maryland, by any chance?
I was recently in Chincoteague, VA which has a strongly Trump supporting native born population (as opposed to the recent retirees). One active landscaping contractor was really pixxed because he couldn’t get any local born workers to help him with his spring contracts. “They are too happy with this free unemployment money they are getting to come back to work.” He was talking about young men who all talk pro Trump. As to whether they vote, I don’t know the answer. But, they enjoy their booze, cigarettes and hanging out.
