Isn't New England the original 13 Colonies?
I'll drop this link.

If New York wasn't in of the original colonies let me know your reasoning as I'm fairly stumped.
I’m being a little tongue in cheek when I say southern CT isn’t included but the southwestern quadrant of CT is basically a giant NYC suburb and more culturally aligned with the worst aspects of New York City than New England, it’s a vibe thing, the further east you go away from New York the less pronounced the effect.
It’s all driven by the routes of the MTA commuter rail and lower income taxes in CT, so basically all the reactionary finance bros live in Greenwich which is about as far out as you can go while still having a decent commute into the city
There was an active project to turn it into a libertarian state by migrating there. It never made it quite that far, but the politics have shifted a fair amount.
New England starts north of I-84, Greenwich, Norwalk, Fairfield etc like to pretend like it’s New England but they’re just suburbs for corporate lawyers and finance bro shitheads. It’s more like Westchester than anything else. Those planes are probably launching out of westchester airport which should be the first target of any nuclear strike, if you’re reading this president Xi
I always have to sing that line to myself - "even old New York was once New Amsterdam" -because my brain always associates "York" with a place in England, even though I am fully aware of the fact that New York was named after some Dutch slaver. It's just a weird mental glitch I guess!
New York is not New England :angery:
Literally called New [Major English city.]
:downbear:

New England is CT, RI, MA, VT, NH (cringe) and ME

Live free or die, nerd.

What's cringe about NH? Is it like red Vermont?

they’ve got this whole weird libertarian thing going on
New Hampshire is to New England what Florida is to the south
New England is just the ones east of New York (CT, RI, MA, VT, NH, ME). Georgia is definitely not in New England, but Maine is
Lmao
True, but I thought those planes were launching from Connecticut. I'm probably just bad at maps.

It’s not a big deal I just hate being lumped in with “those people” lol
