> NYC and Chicago are about as far as you can get from “socially conservative”, so it’s not clear what your narrative actually is here.

They aren't "socially conservative" in the "I hate gay people" way, but they certainly have the dog-eat-dog look-out-for-number-one fuck-you-got-mine American culture down pat. They're just more blatant about it than the "bless your heart" public-face-goes-to-church-and-is-friendly/private-face-exploits-their-employers rural American folks.

So, to get this straight, the working definition here for "socially conservative" is anyone who steals things or exploits others, regardless of whether they support gay rights or vote democrat.

Yeah, in that light, these social conservatives do seem pretty bad.

To be fair, the US democrat party would be considered middle right to most of the rest of the world.
