It's also the urban centers from the rest of some states. For instance I live in MN, the city center is very blue and the rest of the state is not.

- throwaway0a5e 5y agoInside vs outside of the city and wealthy inner and middle suburbs is a far more massive cultural divide than red state vs blue state, nominal political party membership, rich vs poor or anything else.
- giantg2 5y agoThis ^ It's mostly urban vs rural, even on the coasts and in states like CA. Visual: https://brilliantmaps.com/2016-county-election-map/ https://brilliantmaps.com/2016-county-election-map/
- DaftDank 5y agoFrom my own personal, subjective experiences, I've found this to be the big one. I've lived in 8 states now, in all regions except the Northeast, from big cities to smaller towns (SF to towns of ~30,000) and the rural vs. urban divide seems to be the most pronounced to me.
- giantg2 5y ago30k is a small town? Seems like a medium-large town to me. Thw small town I grew up in (partially) was like 1/6th that size.
- tomrod 5y agoYes, it's a pretty small town. My undergrad was approximately that size. Of course, smaller exist! There are functioning towns in East Texas with less than 500 people in them! My favorite is Caledonia; cherished memories are that upon crossing the border my father would pull his best BB King impression and belt out the eponymous tune.
- thomastjeffery 5y ago30k is either a small city or a very large building.
- DaftDank 5y agoHah, yeah I suppose it's relative. I guess a really small town I would think of having less than maybe 1,000 people, but 30,000 is about the smallest sized town I'd ever want to live in personally.
