How many people understand what it is really like to live in New York City? It is a crazy liberal place! You really can’t even hear any other point of view. Now maybe some of the boroughs are different, but Manhattan? People become indoctrinated, but sometimes they wake up and common sense kicks in, like with Donald Trump.
When I was a member of The Young Republicans in Manhattan (we met at an Indian restaurant in Curry Hill) we had plenty of anti-abortion activists. Nice people, too. Conservatives are everywhere.
