Proud that Aldersbridge Communities calls EP home

I love the sentiments on the signs.

EDIT BELOW: (not a true statement - data listed in follow up comment ) But more people voted for Fascism and the lead Nazi/WCN organizer (DJT) in East Providence than Kamala Harris.

You can’t call yourself a strong Democrat city that fights for ALL (even though I know that is BS - I’m looking at you Mayor and the police) AND have citizens that vote against their own interests.

The Portuguese first and second generation immigrant population has to look long and hard in the mirror on that vote!

They all go home to their beloved homeland which has strong socialist roots to visit family where the “good life is” and try to have it both ways! The cognitive dissonance is 🤯.

Where did you see that EP voted more for Trump than Harris?

My error..I was looking at JUST the city hall precinct data that came up first.

I still stand by the comment on first and second generation immigrant voting in support of Trump. The “pull the ladder up” philosophy, heavy capitalism beliefs and “we did it the legal way” is very strong in the community.

I WAS wrong on data! I apologize for the comment. Links below to what I was looking at.

I'm not interested in debating with you about immigrants (not sure if you only mean Portuguese as in your first comment), and I appreciate your correction. FYI, City Hall is only a precinct in that those people voted only for president and it was less than 500 people total. I ran through all the links and see that all the polling places show Harris winning.
