The cultural regions are New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the South, the Midwest, the Mountain West and the Pacific.
Politically the South and Midwest are conservative. New England, Pacific, and Mountain regions are liberal. The Mid-Atlantic is a mix.
Cultural differences are largely based on popular religions or lack of religion.
That's about it, Americans are pretty much all the same no matter what state or region you are from.
Found the East Coast guy lol
I would never think to break out Mid-Atlantic into its own thing, and I would never think to combine California and the Pacific Northwest.
Just shows how regional bias plays into what you think of as "cultural regions".
I'm in the west.
