Upstate NY and pretty much everywhere outside of developed metropolitan areas have gone MAGA and have been voting Republican against their own interests for years.
This is what they voted for- to shoot themselves in the foot.
The majority of white women voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
"White women are still voting for the Republican candidate
Although women as a whole have historically voted for Democrats, white women have not. Instead, over the last 72 years, a plurality of white women have voted for the Democratic candidate only twice, in 1964 and 1996."

Oh please. Boomers as a cohort have earned the enmity. They stole the economic welfare of their children and children’s children while hoarding resources and lavishing themselves at every turn. Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have all been sacrificed on the altar of Boomer prosperity. All the while, they made sure that the ladders they used to gain a foothold in upward mobility were immediately pulled up afterwards.
The last 40 years of decline is directly attributable to the choices and votes of Boomers, who, because of their enormous population size, have had an outsized influence on all aspects of American development.
So many Boomers have proven incapable of remote Mgmt. If they don’t have staff in line-of-sight, they always seem to default to “they’re not working hard,” regardless of actual productivity.
Boomers need to retire already and remove themselves from their perches at the top of corporate ladders.
