[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved to LI some years ago. In addition to what others have said I believe there is some underlying UMC failure here. Their successful parents moved from the city in the 50s,60s,70s, 80s for their dream home in a quiet suburb. Some of the kids didn’t do as well when they grew up and resent it, blame taxes and everything but themselves for not being as successful. If your dad was a engineer and you are in a administrative job of course you can’t afford what you grew up with but they always blame outside factors.[/quote]

The describes my 7 cousins (all siblings) to a tee. They all grew up in Rockville Center and most are still there with crappy jobs.[/quote]

+1 lots of this. Also LI isn’t super republican, it went about 50/50 Biden/trump. I guess if you take out the minority and Jewish votes, the white mostly catholic some Protestant vote must have been 60-65% or so trump...that’s just my estimate no way to figure that one out.[/quote]
