The New Politics of Metropole vs. Heartland

Politics’, Metropole, Heartland0 comment

You see the same pattern over much of the world. In three consecutive presidential elections in the United States. In the latest polls in Britain, where the 2016 Brexit referendum was the first notable outbreak. In France’s most recent national election and in Germany’s. In Canada’’ election last month. And maybe in Poland and South Korea last weekend. The pattern can be summarized in a simple formula. M+M versus H. Or, increasingly and to the discomfort of established politicians and press personnel, M+(1-x)M<H+xM. The first M stands for “metropole,” the…

The White House’s delivery to the House of Representatives of a package that would codify some of the Department of Government Efficiency’s cuts into law was greeted with enthusiasm by the fiscally hawkish House Freedom Caucus on Tuesday. The rescissions package, delivered by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to Republican House leadership, would codify $ 9 billion in cuts to USAID, as well as funds to National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Rescissions packages can be passed with a simple majority in…

Until this past weekend, there was only one place you had a chance to see all of Virginia’s living governors come together in the same place, and that was at the inauguration of the next one. But on May 17, in commemoration of the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling desegregating schools and commemorating Virginia’s role in that case, there they all were, Democrats and Republicans sitting together, sharing the commonality that comes from being part of a group of only 74 Virginians that…

Mississippi leads the nation. That’s not a typographical error. And it’s not just a gotcha phrase, preparing the reader for learning that Mississippi leads the nation on all sorts of negative things. Once upon a time, that was true, and in some respects it still is. Mississippi has the lowest or nearly the lowest income levels of any state. It’s been lagging in population growth over the last decade and in the longer term. Mississippi topped the 2-million mark in 1930, and it got within 18,000 of the 3-million mark…
