Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first red state was Rhode Island, and the first blue state was Massachusetts. The two were separated by less than a mile. Fast-forward to 2020, and one of the most similar states in size, population, and political leanings is California. Yet in 2020, the state voted overwhelmingly for Trump, while the Bay State voted overwhelmingly for Oprah. And while California has some of the highest-paid tech employees in America, that state also has some of the highest taxes. -> The American middle class is growing increasingly divided between red states and blue states. While the Democrats tend to win coastal states, Republicans control most of the vast expanses in between.
#2 Obama strategically divided America in order to win elections. Trump inherited this divided America, and continued Obama’s strategy of widening the gap between red and blue states.
#3 Trump won by widening the gap between red and blue states.
#4 The coastal states are winning the culture war because the rural and the urban are increasingly different.
