I was thinking about that the other day. I identify as a new englander way more than an American. I've traveled to other areas of the country a handful of times and feel like I'm in a different country.

I identify as a PNW more than anything. Stating I'm American has a lot less meaning and pretty vague culturally now anyway rather than pnw

I once came back into the US from an overseas trip, and went thru customs in LA. The lady said "Welcome home" and I replied that I wasn't home until back in Oregon. She got furious with me, had my bags pulled for a full search while she could tell me what in improper American I was. I replied back to her that I was an Oregonian.

I been feeling the exact same way for a while now. California is my home and just like yourself, no matter where else I live in the US, I feel the culture and politics is quite different. Especially the south and central US.

i know your from west coast but dont let this ignorant commenter confuse you on how racist and backwards new england is. Probably the most racist place ive ever been, and statistically the most segregated in the entire country. CT is a bunch of NIMBY rich whites, Mass is a bunch of racist whites, and Vermont is a bunch of white farmers. Period.
