How the 2016 Election Exposed America's Racial and Cultural Divides

Lee Drutman was quoted by NBC News about the division between rural America and urban America:

"The biggest difference between the two parties is the urban-rural divide. That gap widened. Politically, that translates into race and identity as the main political dividing line. Rural and exurban America is very white, and generally inward-looking. Urban America is very diverse and cosmopolitan," said Lee Drutman, a political scientist at New America, a Washington-based non-partisan think tank.
