I see these replies are, as typical, full of people who have never ventured to the many and large parts of Long Island that are liberal.

Hmmm. I was worried that might happen when I posted my reply. I’ve no doubt there are liberal parts (saw plenty of Harris-Walz lawn signs last year), it’s just the racism/sexism and anti-city sentiment among the conservative folks I’ve met is just next level. Like I took a time machine to 1954

I like to tell people that Long Island as a whole voted for Clinton twice, Gore, Kerry, Obama twice, Clinton, and Biden. 2024 was the first time in my lifetime that Long Island voted for a Republican for president.

I think also a lot of white people only know conservative white people on Long Island but that's simply a function of their social networks. And a lot of NYCers thoughts of the island are restricted to the western part of Nassau county. There's millions of people east of there.

And the anti-city sentiment is bipartisan 😉
