I was generalizing on a state basis. The northeast and west coast are very different in political leanings from the middle and south.
And I’m saying your generalization is wrong. Even Pennsylvania went for Trump in 2016. Urban rural divide is much more visible from this north-south generalization northeastern people like to make.

Indeed. Republican-voting, gun-packing, bible-hugging christians dominate suburban areas and ultimately shape the law of the land in southern/flyover states. Even in those states, however, the people in large(-er) urban areas tend to vote democrat.

How many of those places have you actually been to? How many of those people have you met?
Stop trying to act like you’re an Everyman, getting down with all the blue collar folk. :lol2:

You’re a 401k obsessed, stock market gambling, white collar worker. Aside from the obscenely wealthy, you are about as far as it gets from the blue collar folks I work with.

Dude, what is your problem? My family is from Detroit, some of which worked in the auto industry. The others that married into the family are auto worker through and through, no doubt tough folks. I may be lucky enough not to have to work in an environment like that, but I wouldn't last there anyway.

Honestly, I don't even know why I post here sometimes. You obviously know everything about me and have everything else figured out, so good work to you.

Of course I know everything about you. That’s me outside your bedroom window, dude? Didn’t you see me waving?

On a serious note, I don’t think you’d have any trouble at all working as an auto worker, not in recent years anyways. UAW rules and regulations made it a pretty cushy, slack job, in the 90s and 00s, or so I’ve been told by the cousins I have who have had union jobs in that industry. That seems to be changing over the last decade with all the layoffs and closures and diminishing power of unions.

Anyways, cheers to you and blue collar background. My apologies for cramming you into too narrow a box. ;)
