I’m sorry, “collar suburb” is new term to me. Blue collar? White collar? Mixed collars? How does it differentiate one suburb from another? I’m not sure I understand. I hate to be so dumb, but I can’t find it defined on the internet either. Thanks for your help.
The “collar” suburbs are the ones surrounding Philadelphia - specifically Bucks County, Montgomery County, Chester County and Delaware County.
They used to be solidly “red” but have been slowly turning more and more “blue” and now all are now leaning “blue” pretty heavily. We did not do well in Mid-Term elections.
Possibly attributed to people fleeing Philadelphia for the suburbs and bringing their political affiliations with them. Also a lot of commuting New Yorkers residing in the glut of pricey townhouses and McMansions in Bucks and Montgomery.
And we do have our share of - Hate Has No Home Here - “Karens”.
