Mandatory reminder that the US covers more land area than the entire EU. And while the population is 185 million people smaller, think about how wildly different the various EU countries are culturally.

While the US has something of a shared culture, the South has a wildly different culture than New York. Kind of like how Poland has a wildly different culture than Spain though without the language barrier. That's also why it's OK for Germany and France to say that the politics of Hungary and Poland shouldn't represent them, and vice versa.

Blanket statements about the US aren't much different than blanket statements about the EU. It greatly depends where you are.

My experience living in North Carolina, Texas, New York, and California gives me the picture that this is an exaggeration. Imho, the difference is somewhat like that between a northern town near Newcastle and Covent Garden.

Most nations have regional differences in the realm of the US. Yes, a town like Alba in Texas isn't like NYC culturally or physically, but many countries have this difference.

I suspect that of the many that I have lived in or visited, the only ones with apparent uniformity are ones I haven't really seen deeply: Iceland and Norway perhaps.
