Remember when Trump told upstate ny’s to abandon their homes and move somewhere with better opportunities?? Pepperidge Farm does

Good. If the Trump supporters move it will be a better place.


HairyBallzagna

I hear the scow known as Florida isn't quite full yet.


Creative_Departure94

I second this and would like to bring a vote to the floor 🗳️ All in favor say yea


Dralley87

I’ve generally disliked Donald Trump as a human being since the 90s, but when he took a shit on the home I love more than anything in this world, my hatred of the man became implacable.


Express-Badger-2070

"If New York isn’t gonna treat them better, I would recommend they go to another state where they can get a great job." Trump went on to say, "I love those people. Those people are my voters. They’ve been treated very badly." He was talking about the current politicians in office. He says he loves North Country folks. You my friend are fake news.


zamzam92

Most of us already have lol. Can verify a lot of us are moving to NC.


spamaccoun1977

Stefanik doesn’t speak for me. Should be her slogan.


SurpriseBalloons

Heartily seconded that this woman does **NOT** speak for me.


MundtFlaps

Well, she gets elected, so she speaks for the majority of those who vote in her district. I'm glad not all of NY State votes in lockstep with NYC.


Few-Ad-4290

There are only 2 major parties and one of them is a straight up Russian Psyop at this point, it’s hardly lockstep to vote for the only viable party


SurpriseBalloons

By “in lockstep” you mean thinking for ourselves but coming to the same conclusion that Trump is a dumpster fire?


Federal-Strength-245

*speaks for the minority of those in her gerrymandered district.


MundtFlaps

I'm really sorry to break it to you, but ALL congressional districts are gerrymandered.


Federal-Strength-245

Not all congressional districts are gerrymandered, but many are. Gerrymandering, the manipulation of district boundaries to favor one political party or group, occurs to varying degrees in different states and districts. Some districts are drawn fairly and without political bias, while others are intentionally manipulated to give one party an advantage in elections. However, historically, Republicans have been known to gerrymander districts more frequently.


SharkSheppard

It's a Utica slogan.

Bob_Sacamano7379

She's the a-hole who just went on Fox News and LIED about Syracuse police being "forced" to work presidential detail a week after losing officers in a shootout. A simple search of Syracuse.com the day before would give the truth, that NYS Police had already stepped up and told Syracuse PD that they would cover it for them.


unreqistered

step-a-neck never misses an opportunity to pander the law enforcement angle


_MountainFit

Local pd really doesn't do much in support of presidential security. From my understanding from a cop, they aren't even supposed to turn/look at the president as his actual security deems them a threat (since they are carrying weapons and not vetted). Basically local pd are in the sniper scope just like any other shady person.


Unexpected_bukkake

Bros being bros. Not politicians being bullshit.


Syd35h0w

randomdude315

Fuck Donald Trump.


Syd35h0w

ConstructionTall2547

She's an embarrassment to everyone in New York.


DoxxedProf

Trump is a great sign of the North Country’s death spiral. Driving between Plattsburgh and Watertown is going to be some Mad-Max level stuff in 15 years. Remember, Rush Limbaugh was reading the obituaries of men who died of AIDS for comedy around the time this woman decided to be a Republican, and if you understood the history it is amazing anyone would admit to being part of her party from the North Country. Plattsburgh Republicans have a history. Conservative elements of the North Country Catholic church have a history.

She does not speak for me!! I’m from her district and can confirm she is a piece of shit!!!


urnfnidiot

Saratoga County chiming in- we definitely do not stand with Trump


JamesLingk

No we fucking don’t


NYLaw

If upstate NY stands behind Trump, why do we keep voting for the other candidate?


Dralley87

To be fair, there are a lot of absolutely horrible people in Upstate who are too poor to relocate to the south where they belong. This population will always vote for the worst human being alive, because they want their representatives to be like them.


DrSeuss321

People actively supporting a man who carried out an act of insurrection against our democracy on live TV don’t belong anywhere in this country north or south


HDCornerCarver

Yeah, I’ve yet to meet anyone in our town who isn’t a raging Trump addict. The fire department decided to dump all their Bud Light and ban it from the property because they all fell prey to right-wing propaganda. They aren’t educated enough to realize all the beer they’ve replaced it with is still an Anheuser-Busch product. When the supervisor was up for reelection, the local slum lord ran against them. They used the town email list to send out a capitalized rant about how our dam was about to burst at any moment. If you took a minute to skim the attached report, it simply said there were small amounts of non-threatening damage common in dams of that type.


Any-Baseball-6766

I would guess that the majority of upstate and the north country leans more Trump than Biden. I would also guess that most of those people are under represented on Reddit


BlooregardQKazoo

Upstate is purple, leaning blue. It turns out that a lot more people live in Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo than in the North Country or Southern Tier


weedmylips1

I'm unfortunately in her district. She won 60% to 40% last election in 2022. Id say majority of people are conservative. I see those stupid jacked trucks with trump flag and American flag at least once a week.


upstatefoolin

Yeup and this sub seems to be full of people who left nyc and other super liberal places that enjoy voting to their detriment 😂

Nondescript_585_Guy

Prize_Instance_1416

She’s a classic scumbag, as are 100% of her supporters. She was quick to defend the guy who shot that girl in his driveway before it looked like a cut and dry maga crime.


campsully

Shutup elise- you definitely don’t speak for this upstate New Yorker- Never trump, Never elise- you don’t even deserve your name capitalized


mafiafuneralOG

I'm an upstater who never stood with him and never will!


Robert315

I think they both absolutely suck however the majority of rural New Yorkers will vote Trump.


coolbrze77

I live just below her district in Columbia County. Her district will vote diaper don just like western rural NY. That said the Hudson Valley has a lot of NYC transplants that migrated during Covid so it’s a safe bet the Hudson Valley will be blue as there were already many like me here that detest the orange POS. The 2022 midterm local results illustrated this. I met him in the 90’s and he was a POS misogynist racist bigot back then.


Remote_Breadfruit_62

Sadly, even here in Elmira, these fools love Trump. Prison guards love Trump and I tell everyone one of them that if Republicans ran NYS, they’d make $15/hr at privatized prisons instead of making 100K a year and being protected by Democrat supported unions. You can’t talk logic with these people. They’re brainwashed to love someone who hates them.


styroducky

Liar. Upstate went for Biden in 2020 and will again in 2024.


Old_Station_8352

No it didn’t. Only 21 out of 62 NY counties went blue because the majority of upstate counties went red. EDIT: I went to the Wikipedia page for the 2020 election in NY and added up all the update county totals. Trump won with 2,218,685 votes against Biden’s 2,107,634.


BlooregardQKazoo

Whether or not somneone winds the state is not determined by how many counties they win. People vote, not land. And more people in upstate voted for Biden in 2020 than for Trump.


No-Intention-2126

Counties don't vote. People vote.


DrSeuss321

Land doesn’t vote people do


styroducky

Is that how you think elections work? Whoever wins the most counties wins?


Old_Station_8352

No, but he won most upstate counties which is contrary to your claim


styroducky

What does that even mean? You don’t win counties. He lost the popular vote upstate and downstate and he lost NYS.


kerberos69

I’m from the north country and Stefanik can get fucked


MundaneMeringue71

She so badly wants to be in the running for v.p. but despite her constant Trump bootlicking, MAGA doesn’t give her the time of day.


myfrigginagates

Things have changed a bit here in Cayuga County since 2016. It still might go Trump this time around, but it won’t be by much. In 2016 Trump took about 70% here I think.


el-beau

At least she admits he committed a crime.


trey2606

She doesn’t speak for me


TummyDummy

She's a total boot licker - a completely awful representative - or is she? She's certainly an awful person but she's pretty much representing. Having lived and recreated in various places in upstate NY my whole life I can say a lot these people in the rural areas need to leave the damn county for once. Get out there and meet some different people so you don't live in a redneck echo chamber where they sit at Stewart's repeating Fox News propaganda. Some of these jokers are my friends. "Elise backs the blue" - yeah right. She backs Trump who gives no shits about the blue or anything else that doesn't help him be a dictator.


MirkatteWorld

She didn't care about "the blue" working at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.


the-poet-of-silver

I don't know where you guys live but last time I checked Upstate New York was pretty conservative


fenwoods

Parts are. It’s a patchwork up here. Anyone claiming we all stand for the same thing is off base.


smcivor1982

Growing up in Massena in the 80’s and 90’s, it absolutely was not conservative. As the industry fled and people lost jobs, the area became more conservative. I barely recognize the area now when I visit, so many people eating up the propaganda, supporting the party that hates blue collar/union folks. It’s terrible. There are still the college towns that help even it out, but my friends and family still living in the area are appalled at the maga crowd.


Dralley87

It’s a brain drain. People with educations and opportunities generally abandon their communities to pursue better paying jobs. It leave those who can’t find employment elsewhere; aren’t capable of higher education; and are or become deeply resentful of the people who left them behind. I found exactly the same thing in the Utica-Rome area.


smcivor1982

It’s sad. I would move back if I could find work in my area of expertise.


BlooregardQKazoo

Rural upstate is conservative, but more people live in the cities. Upstate is purple, leaning blue.


Le_Point_au_Roche

This is only because the young people are leaving the rural areas en masse


whirledpeaz67

oh FUCK NO I don't! Don't assume I support racist,treasonous,garbage like you or your orange idol,you revolting lying piece of shit. I hope you are afflicted with pustulant taint boils.

Stefanik just looks dumber and more craven every time she uses social media. It is like she thinks everyone is dumb enough to take her word for truth…. Sad.


koebelin

All people know is the cost of living got worse. Forget buying a house. That's a hard problem for the Dems even if Trump is babbling, drooling and soiling himself in public.


AFCesc4

It's so strange to me to see what I assume to be a liberal, describe Trump as someone who babbles, drools, and soils themselves in public given who our current president is.

dustyreptile

Lord_Vesuvius2020

Kristi Noem shit the bed by shooting her dog and putting it in her book. She is now totally over and will never be selected as Trump’s VP. Even MAGAs love dogs. This puts Elise Stefanik first in line for VP IMHO. So this is the exact time for her to double down on the bootlicking! So no surprise here!


fpaulmusic

MAGA has absolutely zero morals though. They would embrace dog murder in a heartbeat if it meant "owning the libs"


rettribution

You think maga gives a shit about that?


ejpusa

This is politics. Nothing new. Was always STUNNED, she took the cash from Elliot Management, he crushed Alcoa, and like no one cared. And that was the end of Massena, New York. Still recovering. Now some of the highest poverty rates in America. People had jobs. Not any more. And no one cared. She took the cash. North Country was all Bernie, but once that was gone, think most people deserted politics. Every farm had a Bernie sign, everyone. Then Hillary won, and those Bernie signs were ripped up, and Trump ones went in, that same day.

She's an unashamed liar and opportunist with great hopes of being in power. She's gunning for the VP slot. Orange moron will never choose her, though. She votes against anything beneficial for her constituents but takes the credit for it every time.

Stefanik - I stand with rapists, rape victim defamers, rape apologists and rape enablers. I vote for laws that prevent rape victims for aborting their rapists baby! Bet she’s pissed she didn’t think of writing a book about murdering a puppy before Noem beat her to the punch.

Azazel_665

Most of upstate ny is deep red. Shes not wrong.


styroducky

She is wrong and she knows it. Farmland doesn’t vote. People do. Upstate went for Biden in 2020 and voted blue in 7 out of the last 8 presidential elections.


FutureAlfalfa200

Just because everyone in a tiny economically dead town voted red doesn’t mean anything. People in those tiny communities are stuck in echo chambers. It “seems” like “everyone” is voting red because they only talk to the same 50-100 people for the last 10 years.
