“...wondering if I should skip Cooperstown...”
My daughter is an ER nurse in the Emergency room at the hospital in Cooperstown. The entire area is very beautiful and worth the trip. I understand your sentiments to possibly skip the area; however, many decent and conservative people live around there too. Cooperstown itself has a greater concentration of transplanted NYC liberal anti fracking types than the surrounding countryside people who tend to be gun owners, however, the economy is struggling due to Cuomo’s anti fracking stance.
Of course I do not want to interfere with your decision making process, however, by punishing Cuomo, conservatives get caught in the struggle. Theoretically one could move, however they have a milking operation that they have been trying to build up, and her husband’s family has lived there for generations - easier said than done.
Having said that - I absolutely loathe Cuomo so support any anti Cuomo efforts in general.
I hate it for the pro-Americans in New York State, but you've got to starve the beast. Maybe they can move down here to Texas where we value Freedom.
