Question for Pennsylvania residents.

[Elessar Zappa]

My liberal uncle wants to retire in Pennsylvania and he’s looking at two properties, one in rural southwestern PA outside of Uniontown and the other property is in northeastern PA in rural Lackawanna county near Scranton. He knows both areas will be conservative but is one of the locations loonier than the other? He’d like to live among as few MAGA as possible.

1. I live in Bucks county and it's still too red for me. I have never been to uniontown

lackawanna is probably very red. Oz had his loser rally last night 2 miles away from my house. fuck him.

2. Southwest PA is red but with pockets of blue

will depend how rural he is looking at

3. I live in Pittsburgh and drive to Uniontown

I drive to Uniontown to visit Ohiopyle park on occasion and is an hour away from Pittsburgh. Uniontown is Republican country and pretty much deep red. I still see Trump a number signs on people lawns and also few signs that say "Trump won". There are quite a number of "Let's Go Brandon" signs and bumper stickers as well.

I don't know about Lackawanna county, but Uniontown is in Fayette county.

If you go by this midterm race

Lackawanna county actually went to Fetterman (52% - 46%), while Fayette county went to Oz (61% - 38%)

4. Agree the more you get away from Pittsburgh the redder it gets. it is beautiful in Ohiopyle though

5. Lackawanna county is less red

They could use more blue residents. Beautiful countryside.

6. Fayette County is home to the Fayette Cong, who attack Democratic candidates at home.

Can't speak about Lackawanna County, but southwest PA is polluted with MAGA mole people.

7. Recently Drove from DC to Pittsburgh

I drove from the DC area back home to Pittsburgh in the middle of October. Now, I wasn't driving through Fayette County, but through Bedford, Somerset, and Westmoreland counties before hitting Allegheny. From the MD/PA state line to about midway through Westmoreland was all Mastriano/Oz, with a smattering of T***p 2024 signs. The Turnpike still had the obnoxious billboards, though. Once you got closer to civilization, the Fetterman and Shapiro signs increased. On the way home, I drove the same route on rural roads because the Turnpike was fucked up. Shit was pretty scary there.

I'm not as familiar with northeastern part of the State, though.

8. Lackawanna County/Scranton in 8th Congressional District

where the incumbent Dem House Representative is currently leading his Republican challenger and will likely hold his seat.

I'd advise your uncle to look into Lackawanna County as opposed to southwestern PA.

9. Lackawana County is in PA-8 which has Matt Cartright (D) as the Rep.

The district is swingy/purple (the blue coming from the cities of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton and red from the rural parts). Scranton is Biden's actual hometown.
