"More Red-State Trouble, U.S. looks increasingly like two different countries"

I think you might have a point, But most of this resides on ethnic lines.

Adirondack region of New York is one of the most rural, impoverished & presumably blue collar regions in NY.

It is more blue than urban Staten Island or suburban exurban high income Putnam County, NY.

Adirondack region of New York is not blue collar, nor does it have much of a population, in fact, it is largely a public park, actually, the largest public park in the country

You do realize that few people live in those areas colored red on the maps? Wyoming is colored all red, looks like a lot, yet their population is less than metro Buffalo, NY

New York and California, along with many other Blue States, are not a "mostly Republican majority," and it has nothing to do with minorities

New York city was 32% White in 2019.
Of those Whites some are actually minorities, Jews, Muslims, Arabs, LGBTQ.
Who vote way more Democrat than Whites of a normal Catholic or Protestant background.

The only borough that is majority those kind of Whites being Staten Island voted Trump 2 times.

I didn't say it was all blue collar.
But, compared to a lot of NY. Absolutely.
