I'm guessing the folks working at Brookhaven Lab live in a variety of Long Island communities...what are you getting at?
There are many studies that imply a correlation between cognitive ability and political views. I do not mention them, however, because a) I don't want to offend any snowflakes and b)they are still just overall trends, and and there are always exceptions.
These must be fascinating studies conducted without political bias.

your comment implied that people from the NW Boston suburbs are brighter than most Long Islanders (and the few select bright people on LI live on the north shore of Nassau County). The term you used was "uneducated". Powerful statement. Correct me if I got that one wrong.
Also note that many students attending Boston College, BU, Tufts, MIT, Northeastern, Brandeis, Bentley, etc. are from Long Island .

If you're from the Boston suburbs, like Concord, Lexington, Arlington, Bedford, etc., Long Island will seem very uneducated and conservative. Stony Brook village has a similar intellectual, progressive feel to me...but that's northern/central Suffolk rather than western. Some of the north shore Nassau towns feel like the western Boston suburbs to me...Roslyn, Port Washington, etc. Not quite as liberal, but I think they still lean a little to the left overall and there will still be plenty of intelligent folks.
It's pretty telling that you equate "very uneducated" and "conservative." Would you describe places like Manhasset and Garden City as " very uneducated"? If so, why?

I'm highly educated and conservative. But because I live in the North shore, I need to pretend to be liberal otherwise I might get cancelled by tolerant liberals.
Anyone who identifies as lib, con, r or d is a sheepish moron who likely can't think for themselves. Be an independent thinker, learn the facts (from MULTIPLE sources), then vote. Follow this simple guide and you too will have less to blame on the many mysterious and fantastical demons you vote for over and over again while wondering why you're getting hosed.

You always say this, but you just come off as a wimp. No one has ever gotten "cancelled" for liking Donald Trump. Now, people have been "cancelled" for other things that are correlated with liking Donald Trump, but I'm sure someone as highly educated as you knows that correlation isn't causation.

Proof that "educated" doesn't equal "smart."
On the North shore.
IN-tolerant liberals.
