Why is Staten Island known as conservative?

submitted by SmallGuyFromBrooklyn to AskGoats 1 weekApr 24, 2024 16:26:52 ago (+9/-1)     (AskGoats)

Everyone has always told me SI is republican and bla bla bla. Having come from a very conservative, very red area to the shithole that is Brooklyn, I cant say I've found a single republican or conservative anything. In this case, I hopped to SI to check it out. From what I gather, they're still massive commies, 90% of the island works for the gov, the other part is welfare bums and illegals, might honestly be a mix of illegals working as gov employees, etc. May as well be a prison island with all the cameras, red light radars, police presence, etc.

When it comes to the lean, SI is just a slightly (not by much ) less liberal borough of NYC. Since they are a borough of NYC though, they follow 100% of the laws NYC forces down their throats. Since SI had originally proposed to be part of NY and not NYC, it's really a distinction of wanting to be a commie place, but the commies in charge are slightly too commie for their taste. And yet even though SI is 50% democrat/50% less democrat, it's lambasted as the forgotten borough/red headed step child.

Goes to show oyu can give liberals everything they want on a silver platter, it will NEVER be enough. They will trash you and smear you until you give them more. Then they'll keep trashing you anyways because they hate you and want you dead. And for some insanely idiotic reason, a LARGE majority of idiots in NYC think their political class can be reasoned with.

It's funny to see the divide between NYC and NY. NY thinks NYC is too commie, but then they have to wait 2 years or however long just to get a gun. Per a lot of people upstate is conservative, but i cant see how that works. Upstate NY is just a lighter commie version of NYC. FFS in upstate NY you have to have a background check just to BUY AMMO. Anyone that claims this shit is conservative is delusional.

30 years ago Staten Island tried to secede from New York City.

As I've heard. Im not entirely too sure why they thought asking NYC if they could secede legally was gonna work. They would have been better off just leaving and telling NYC to get fucked, but that didn't happen.

I they used to be a disgusting garbage dump of rotting trash on Staten Island. The people there were sick of it so they got enough signatures to put a referendum on the ballot to secede from NYC.

Rudy guliani won an election to be mayor and started the process to close the dump. So they didnt secede

Sup nigger. You must be new.
I was in sunset Park for a while before China and NYC shit the bed. kinda where that shooting was a while back on the DNR. The people you haven't met are the SI Italian crowd. I have been to a few weddings and they are there and proud. But kinda little, like yourself. They are plumbers, electricians, and journeymen. Lots of union support and trades, etc. If you catch the 7am boats out of sheepshead you can meet em. Might pick up some bluefish too. Seriously, you should hit up the boats - you got a 4 week window starting now. Best fishing all year. Bass and blues. You can thank me later.
Nigger.
Edit- Marilyn Jean is a boat I have been on a number of times. I think the first mate was from LI. There is another bigger one with princess in the name. Not sure if it is still running though.
