I lived most of my life in and around New York City and I found incredible ignorance and bigotry there right next to brilliance and kindness. And not all of either from people you would expect.
Right now I'm labout iving 50 miles outside of the city, but pretty much in the metropolitan area with many ties to the city. Well over half the population in my town is farmers or summer people, but we have a lot of Grumman retirees, Plum Island and Brookhaven scientists, and there's Stony Brook and several other universities out here so we are not uneducated.
But we went for Trump, and overwhelmingly re-elected our extreme right wing Congressman.
Go figure.
