Yeah – Rochester strikes me as centrist to conservative.
One lady I know in the area she’s aspergers, married with a dog, big money cryptography database security stuff. Super lefty yet also very patriotic, Colonial America Fife + Drum Corp marcher, computer nerd like me
She rolls her eyes at the shennanigans of the neighbors around her. Did a pride flag thing one year and got the house egged by middle aged grown adults. Childish stuff. She just washed it off and put the flag back.
I don’t haver too strong opinions either way about the mask/no-mask / distancing stuff really except for the silliness of citizenry about it and for budding politicians latching on for clout.
But my honest opinion is congested areas absolutely needed masking requirements. Further spread out areas less so. Statewide decisions were ridiculous both in Florida and NY State and local counties should have had the power to make those choices for their own people’s needs.
