Democrats and Republicans have become geographically divided along regional lines, which has furthered the ideological polarization of American politics.

Anyone interested in understanding American politics in the Twenty-first century will find David Hopkins' analysis of the geographic underpinnings of our polarized politics to be extremely helpful.'
