STATES

AS OF 2019

​

• The US is divided, and polarized, in so many ways now. The most powerful division is the rural/urban divide. Every state looks the same now -- blue in the urban/suburban areas and red in the rural areas. Voters are concentrated in the urban areas.

• But there are many others divisions. Age divides. Religious divides. Race divides. Gender divides. College divides.

• In 2019, Republicans would be most unhappy if their child married a transgender person. Democrats would be most unhappy if their child married a Republican.

• There are many great articles about how Republicans and Democrats are at odds now and also how much common ground there might be.
