Like, there's this weird ✨indigeneity✨ thing that's emerged around US regionalism, where the south and Appalachia are understood to be discrete groups of freedom fighters versus oppression perpetrated by the broader nation.
It's never been that way. People from across the US have done it together.

Yes, because regionalism worked so well back then. 💥

Maybe the fact that the most impassioned debates among UK Blueskiers always seem to be over regionalism and local government reform is a sign that none of us have any real problems lol

Overwhelmingly non-elite (except in VA) and also didn’t fit populist anti-conservative sentiments that tried to hijack Sourhern White regionalism to non-malign ends.

Grew up north of Boston and it was all Boston Harbor blockade, Bunker Hill, Evacuation Day and the canons that did it all!
Move to VT and it was all Fort Ty, Ethan Allen and liberating those canons.
I hadn't known the canons came from Fort Ty, my VT wife didn't know where they went. Regionalism.

My big thing is a return to political regionalism, and I think this week really backs up the wisdom inherent in that. We lost something major when the very idea of "organizing" became suspect, and the best candidates, DSA or Blue Dog, are bringing it back
From @gelliottmorris.com, a systematic correlation of how moderates and progressives performed in the midterms. Both DSA and Blue Dogs did similarly well.

I’ve been known to participate in petty regionalism for entertainment purposes, but it’s not that serious. Like not serious enough to tie it to a part of my identity I actually give a rat’s ass about.

“Politician eats at local fast food chain” is the lowest bar form of regionalism and yet… when it hits it undeniably hits

Shoutout @electioncord.com and @corncobanalysis.bsky.social too: the EC team called the regionalism we are seeing w/ South vs NE and highlighted how ppl ignored how much economic concerns mattered
Corncob esp has been banging the drum of ppl underrating voters anger at the economy since 2025!

Mighty Christ, what if the South had even VAGUELY affordable high-speed rail connections to DC, NYC, Chicago, or even other parts of the South.
The benefits in reducing regionalism and insularity would be unthinkable.

I managed to write one more newsletter before polls close.
Is regionalism back? That's what the polls seem to suggest, with some regions swinging in a seemingly correlated way. Or maybe Flanagan +2 is completely fake! We'll know soon.

And although regionalism isn't in fashion as a political force the way it once was in the past, a House Speaker and a Senate Majority Leader who are both from NYC? I dunno, man.

OTOH, France being more racist than the US is quite interesting.
I'm a little miffed about Canada, but I suspect some regionalism at play where Quebec might be affecting the average.

Riveting discussion about traffic enforcement reciprocity between DC, Maryland, and Virginia at the Board of Trade/GWP transportation forum today. That would be a major milestone for regionalism - legacy level stuff for the leaders involved. Let’s go!

Indeed.
For that matter, have you noticed how incredibly Michigander Abdul El-Sayed is? JD Vance calls a weasel, AES replies "you mean a /wolverine/." The whole myth that Republicans have a monopoloy on regionalism is busted.

I guess I have some regional affiliations as someone who grew up in the mid-Atlantic, but it's very strange to me that people feel so strongly about regionalism in the US.

I just finished one of my better reads of the year. As someone whose strength in visual investigations lies primarily in spatial research, this was right up my alley. The author argues that understanding the Gulf's history helps us see the world differently, and I agree.

Yup. I was genuinely befuddled by the Mad Men thing, I didn't realize my pronunciation (and the way I grew up hearing it) was such an East Coast regionalism!

Regionalism of any sort is a questionable business model these days, alas, particularly when you share a region.
