#NEW We have matched up county-level preferences for music genres with 2016 election results and have found the👏 key👏 data 👏 that capture the cultural currents that made Obama supporters flip to Donald Trump:

liking hard rock music.

THREAD.

economist.com/graphic-detail…
The data we have (from @VividSeats) is truly incredible. In every county, we have a record of the share of concert/etc ticket sales that fall into each genre in 2015/19. Here's that map (with each county scaled for population). Cities like rap/hip hop. Rural areas like country.
The music genre that most correlates with Republican vote share is, as you might expect, country music. A preference for "New Age" music (whatever that is) and Rock are also "red". Rap, Hip Hop & R&B, as mentioned, are "blue" music—as is liking alternative artists or Latin music.

Building off of @ThePlumLineGS's great piece about the conference committee ahead, a few observations about the dynamics at play. /1
It's been said before, but Trump is now at the weakest point of his presidency. During the shutdown his popularity plummeted--most significantly among Independents--and by caving so transparently he sowed doubt in the minds of the one-third of die hards who stayed with him. /2
Senate Republicans--who followed Trump into the shutdown in December, kept us in the shutdown by voting down the solution on Thursday, and then ate crow and unanimously supported those same deals on Friday to reopen government--hate him. /3
