I'm not sure this is exactly the right place to put this..... but this article is a mule-kick to the face affirmation of the "we are living in separate countries" hypothesis https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/purple-america-has-all-but-disappeared/ Quote Purple America Has All But Disappeared Counties are increasingly super red or super blue, with less and less in between. By David Wasserman President Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton was among the narrowest in history, and the country is deeply split on his job performance so far. But if you feel like you hardly know anyone who disagrees with you about Trump, you’re not alone: Chances are the election was a landslide in your backyard. More than 61 percent of voters cast ballots in counties that gave either Clinton or Trump at least 60 percent of the major-party vote last November. That’s up from 50 percent of voters who lived in such counties in 2012 and 39 percent in 1992 — an accelerating trend that confirms that America’s political fabric, geographically, is tearing apart. <<see more at link>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
