Connecticut is not a left wing state, not at all. On a local level, most towns are Republican, on a Federal Level, the state is firmly Democratic. We have a robust defensive industry, and many of the countries main defense weapons come from Connecticut. We tend to be left wing on Medical Benefits, and far
to the right when it comes to national defense. On the whole, the state is Centrist. We have what's called the "Gold coast, that starts from Stamford to New York. An extremely wealthy part of the country. There are areas that are kind of uppity and cold, and others that are very neighborly, if you live there. The town I live in is a bit snooty. Covid has had people from over crowded places from N.Y. come into town and nuy every house on sale, and have driven home prices up. There is no easy line to draw in Connecticut, it's just the spots that are snooty are well known, and the "normal" areas are too. You won't find many "Election Deniers" here though. When we find them, they have to wear a Scarlet "T" on their foreheads...........only joking of course, after all, we produced the only Independent Senator in/for how many years, and our populace for the most part know how to read.
Upstate New York is not snobbish at all. I don't know where that comes from. I ride my motorcycle in upstate New York a lot, and find it to be a very friendly state. ar more friendly than the 3 months experience Ii had in the U.K.. Of course, the U.K. I visited doesn't exist anymore from the Brits who have immigrated to the U.S. have said. I was there in 1974, they said that was the Old U.K. and nothing to do with what's going on now. I think people make a lot of general statements about areas without possibly being able to be accurate. Connecticut is a very old state and established. It's ways are known to me, and the average person is quite intelligent. They aren't very sociable, that's all, though that all changes at the parks and beaches.
