Sample Book Insights:
#1 As of 2019, there is only one state with a divided legislative control, Minnesota. The other forty-nine states are controlled by a single party. Republicans control thirty-one state legislatures, and Democrats control eighteen.
#2 Americans are self-segregating by lifestyle, and their votes are beginning to reflect this. The Northeast, Southeast, and Pacific Coast are dominated by red and blue states, respectively.
#3 The Pacific Coast is a deep blue political and cultural enclave. California, Oregon, and Washington have created a coherent blue culture on the West Coast. The South and the Upper Midwest are dominated by red culture.
#4 The New York Times published a series of ratings maps in late 2016 that showed how a show can be popular without breaking through cultural and ideological lines. The Game of Thrones map is the Hillary map. Its appeal is heavily clustered in deep blue coastal cities, something that’s completely unsurprising to this suburban Tennessee resident.

#1

As of 2019, there is only one state with a divided legislative control, Minnesota. The other forty-nine states are controlled by a single party. Republicans control thirty-one state legislatures, and Democrats control eighteen.

#2

Americans are self-segregating by lifestyle, and their votes are beginning to reflect this. The Northeast, Southeast, and Pacific Coast are dominated by red and blue states, respectively.

#3

The Pacific Coast is a deep blue political and cultural enclave. California, Oregon, and Washington have created a coherent blue culture on the West Coast. The South and the Upper Midwest are dominated by red culture.

#4

The New York Times published a series of ratings maps in late 2016 that showed how a show can be popular without breaking through cultural and ideological lines. The Game of Thrones map is the Hillary map. Its appeal is heavily clustered in deep blue coastal cities, something that’s completely unsurprising to this suburban Tennessee resident.

#5

The causes of the Civil War are well-known: slavery. However, the South also seceded over states’ rights, which was a myth. The truth was that the South seceded to preserve and possibly expand slavery.

#6

The first three elements made up the South’s belief that its culture and essential liberties were under threat from northern anti-slavery factions. The last element, however, was the fear that some southerners felt because of slave rebellion.

The Nat Turner rebellion was a mass murder of black people that was led by a hero in the movie The Birth of a Nation. The real Nat Turner was a brutal mass murderer, and his revolt triggered a wave of fear, anguish, and hate in white southerners.

The North’s approval of John Brown, and the resulting public reaction from the South, provoked a paroxysm of anger more intense than the original reaction to the raid.

#9

The southern fear that the northern states wanted to see mass white killings in the South was unreasonable. However, the southerners were right to perceive the political, economic, and cultural momentum of the free states.

#10

The American union is not presently precarious, but two of the four conditions that helped create American secession exist: geographically contiguous, culturally distinct regions that have long maintained those distinctions, and religiously conservative citizens who see any infringement on their religion as a statement of hatred and contempt from their fellow citizens.

#11

The Obergefell argument cost Democrats the 2016 election. It was seen as the solicitor general casting Evangelical Christians outside the boundaries of mainstream American society, and placing them in the same category as racists for upholding a biblical definition of marriage.

#12

While many Americans behind the blue wall view their country’s legal and cultural institutions as being threatened by their domestic political opponents, many Americans behind the red wall see their country’s legal and cultural institutions as being threatened by their foreign political opponents.

#13

Many red Americans perceive political
