Absolutely true. Although there are quite a few people at Fort Drum just east of Watertown in the US Army that probably tend to vote Republican.
I just remember the US map that somebody put out for the Bush/Gore election that showed how much more land mass area had voted for GW over Al. Even left leaning states are almost all red outside of the cities.
However, NY has liberal small towns out in the rural areas like Plattsburg and Ithaca because of the colleges/universities that dominate those communities.
Same thing here in NH. The bigger colleges: UNH Durham, Keene State and Dartmouth dominate their regional politics.
Even in your state of GA on your map. Look how much the population of Atlanta(light blue) dominates the rest of the state. You need more conservative northerners to move to Sea Island and Jekyll Island.
Part of the problem in GA is Atlanta. GA as a whole is 30% black and no matter how awful the candidate if it a black democrat 98% of them will vote Democrat. Atlanta is even more heavily black/democrat Plus we have a lot of “immigrants” who can’t possibly all be legal who vote Democrat because the democrats promise to steal more loot for the indolent from the hardworking than Republicans. If illegal immigration isn’t stopped this country will go into the toilet and every place will be like inner city Detroit.
I’m shocked at how Hispanic the Hudson Valley has been becoming for years now; they are trafficking them in to replace places whites not only are abandoning now, but abandoned decades ago.
