Summary of david a. french's divided we fall

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. 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.
