Americans are increasingly segregating by their political beliefs, leading to a growing divide between states. One Party controls the entire legislature in all but two states, and in 28 states, the controlling party has a supermajority. This has resulted in states adopting diametrically opposed laws on issues like abortion and gender-affirming care. The increasing political homogeneity is driven by factors such as people moving to areas dominated by their preferred party and political parties polarizing on divisive issues. Some wonder if this trend is driving Americans further apart and if federalism is still effective in a politically divided time.
