There are three people I know who dont know each other from whom I can speak to for reason, truth, wisdom and clarity oh and laughs about politics. They are New Yorkers. By birth. Multigenerational
All women, too.
There used to be more but they are gone either by age or osama bin laden
They are more honest and skeptical than my military or Texas cohorts so willing to say trump is a narcissist or that Biden is a nice guy. B l e c h
I despise hearing from people who do not know that there are very few decent New Yorkers.
It is not true.
My neighbor across the street is a New Yorker and pro Trump/ pro 2a. One of the few in the cesspool of NOVA.
New York conservatives _have_ to be smart and resilient.
Oh, yeah, one of them is President right now. :-)
