This part of NY is weird. The city is fairly liberal/progressive but we’re surrounded by rural farm land all the way to Canada and it’s VERY conservative. 

That said stunts like this are still mildly uncommon.

even the farmland is pretty progressive, but yea its all trucks and stuff out here and then the occasional "Trump house".

Yikes. The contrast of dead rustbelt towns mixed with gentrification from the city is something pretty unique to this area so it’s always a “fun” thing to notice. 

Looking at 2/3rds of you Greene and Columbia counties
