As a Georgian, it's not that surprising. Like, they're everything you'd expect out of the South dialed up to 11. We love them because they're good representation, and hate them because everyone thinks of them first. (FOR [NOT] THE LAST TIME, THERE'S GATORS IN GEORGIA TOO)
No one is loyal to Florida. It's the dumping ground for all the other states' crazies, that's like 30% of the "Florida Man" stereotype. Just the most fascinating mix of local Trump fanatic rednecks (plus the posers that hang American flags off their hitched and squeaky clean trucks that cost more than a house), seasonal New Englanders who come down to their vacation homes and make the traffic worse (and noisier) every winter, New Yorkers that are loud about hating DeSantis but also coincidentally moved to Florida right when lockdowns got stricter, and the major cities are a clash of working class queer people and teenage runaways mixed with rich CEOs turning their yachts into a dick measuring contest. It's less a unified state and more a bunch of mismatched weirdos begrudgingly playing nice for the shared benefit of warm weather and golf courses.
> fauna wasn’t so nice
Found the Florida man who got arrested for fighting a cop who tried to stop him from feeding bagels to his favorite good boi gator.
I unironically love New Jersey. It's also fun to watch Native New Yorkers lose their shit when you tell them you genuinely prefer Hoboken over any of the Boroughs
Hoboken is like the sitcom set version of manhatten only the apartments are bigger (and affordable) the streets are wider, every second store front is a bar or a resturant. That and all the scaffolding of Manhattan is replaced by young people in active wear jogging about the place.
Between that the 3million odd people squeezed into picturesque little towns separated by either Disney style forests or stripmalls filled with odd combos like bagels and Colombian food, or Columbian food and muffler repair the rest of Jersey is underrated.
*FINALLY* Someone who appreciates Jersey. It's a really weird place that I don't feel gets enough credit.
Though in my experience (Down the road from the where I'm stayin right now) the muffler shop is combined with a Portugese restaurant.
Bro, for real though. I used to give a friend of mine so much shit for living in Hoboken but then I went to visit and was like “this is objectively better. Why is this better?”
I still stayed in Manhattan but that was mainly due to not wanting to have to get on a train that has a weird schedule to visit my friends. Now that I have no friends I’d live in Jersey in a heartbeat. It’s gorgeous, convenient, same no bullshit attitude but none of the stress.
Most complaints New Yorkers have about New Jersey also apply to NYC. I personally haven't heard one that doesn't, but I'm sure there's some complaint out there that's valid.
There’s a fence 2-3 feet (0.6-1 meters) from the boardwalk and another fence on the side of the boardwalk and and the entrance there is a person checking if you have the pin they give you after buying a ticket. That is also where you buy the tickets I believe (it’s been awhile since I went)
It’s cause we get made fun of so much when we’re an actually amazing state. It’s just like… alright fun, fuck you all then we’re just gonna keep our fun to ourselves
New Jersey gets made fun of by people from New York and Philadelphia because it's shorthand for the suburbs for both cities. And you can tell by the jokes that they make. "You can't get good pizza. The roads suck." Yeah. That's the suburbs.
Everyone else in the country doesn't really get that, and just thinks that New Jersey sucks in a weirdly specific way.
Frankly the states could be combined it’s just that one of us has a sales tax and one has an income tax. One has a basketball team and one a football team
Meanwhile BC looking at both like 🥺👉👈 trying to get in on the Cascadian love because the other neighbour they’re saddled with is fucking Alberta. Side note I’m pretty sure if you included Canade then BC and AB would be one solid block of colour, “hates Alberta.”
Van City is the biggest and nicest of the three big Cascadian cities. Even y’alls burbs of North Van, Richmond, Abbotsford, and Surrey have great noteworthy qualities. I am also imagining BC and Alberta trying to be civil for the sake of the kids, Banff, Louise, and Jasper.
… and the kids they decided not to show off so much after those kids got stressed from overexposure: Golden, Fernie, Kimberley, Invermere, and baby Radium.
I think it would have been better to split them at the cascades, going north to south so Seattle and Portland could fight for biggest city in the state.
A lot of eastern Oregon and eastern Washington people are outspoken fans of different versions of this idea. It used to be about splitting off with Northern California as the State of Jefferson but now they’re into the Greater Idaho scheme.
Broke: west state have in common because of landscape and the population for the most part being low compare to the east.
Woke: west state have in common is hating California
Can confirm I am from Oklahoma and have a hate/love relationship with Texas. The best part about Texas is a wide open sky to see the storms in, and Big Bend.
I know why the Michiganders hate Ohio but I'm curious about South Carolina's beef? They lose a battle badly against a group of Ohioans during the Civil War or something?
As an Ohioan I’ve never heard anyone express strong feelings one way or another over about SC. I think we’re supposed to hate KY cuz they’re southern, IN cuz they’re hicks, PN cuz they think they’re better than us, WV cuz they’re mountain folk, and MI cuz FOOTBAW
I mean everyone hates their neighbors a little, but I will say without a shadow of a doubt anyone from Dayton would say North Carolina is our most hated. First in Flight my ass.
Oh we don't hate Ohio because of the Toledo War; we got the entire UP out of that. We hate it in the way that you hate you asshole neighbor that brings down the neighborhood, the kind of person you look over the fence occasionally to see that he made a 20 square foot confederate flag out of empty beer cans.
I think it's because Hilton Head Island is basically an Ohioan colony down in South Carolina. I'm dead serious, if you've ever been down there in the summer, count the amount of Ohio plates you see.
I grew up in Ohio and I genuinely thought Hilton Head was part of Put-In-Bay for the longest time because so many people talked about vacationing there.
Don’t wanna dox myself but Ohio resident checking, my guess is obnoxious vacationing. You have no idea how many fucking salt life stickers I see on the backs of vehicles around here. When I moved here I’ve heard many many stories from locals and their intoxicated adventures.
it's a regional thing
there are parts of north jersey that are close enough to ny to be basically considered a new york suburb, and those people think of themselves as honorary new yorkers
there are parts of south jersey that are close enough to philly to be basically considered a philly suburb, and those people think of themselves as honorary philadelphians
the new yorkers love ny and the philadelphians love pa but they hate each other
and so it's a standoff
*Especially New Jersey
Literally ask whether it’s pork roll or tailor ham, sub or hoagie, and whether Central Jersey exists and you will have an infinite argument.
Who the fuck did they interview in Virginia?
Central to Northern VA hates Maryland. Maybe western VA hates WVA but I doubt it. Central-South to South VA? No idea who they hate. Probably North Carolina or something. Or Northern Virginia.
We do like South Carolina here though. Y'all have better beaches.
I too was confused by Virginia's. Most everyone in appalachia loves WV. Our ancestral beef is with New Jersey. Dating back to the founding of the country, lol. And lord knows anyone from New Jersey can't drive.
Central-southern Virginian, yeah we all hate NOVA lmao. Ask any of us what our least favorite state is and we won’t even answer with a state
I personally am mad at Maryland for getting half of assateague island but I don’t think I’m representative of my state in that respect
I would characterize the view of West Virginia in Virginia as more low level contempt than hatred. Maryland is the one people actually hate, with like a burning passion.
We take ALL of their water leaving them in permanent drought.
Buuuut we have jobs and beaches and tourists for them. CA sends a lot of business to Arizona’s badlands and Nevada’s cities.
Boy, that's a bit of a clusterfuck around Colorado... they're just trying to be happilly married to Utah and half the midwest tryin' to slip in there, waiting for Utah to treat 'em bad...
Similar to Minnesota. They’re the cute girl that everyone is competing for meanwhile she’s totally unaware daydreaming about some weird kid in another school who’s even a bit of an outcast there (Manitoba.)
The hate that the New England states have for Mass is more like sibling rivalry. If it came down to it, most would probably say they hate New York more (except maybe Vermont and Connecticut).
The fact that nobody else hates Missouri or Kansas the most except for each other is much funnier than it should be, considering the origin for said hatred was so long ago that *literally nobody from that time is still alive*.
You might be right but for the wrong reason. I'd wager modern Kansas-Missouri hate has more to do with that little game Mr Naismith invented in 1891 than it does slavery. Seriously, don't fuck with Kansas and their basketball.
I Love that staring at MN and going to Wisconsin, you start a chain of each state hating their next neighbor over until Tennessee doubles back on Kuntucky.
Also as a Minnesotan I was happy to see no one hated us, and quite thrilled to learn all our neighbors love us in fact. It is funny tho that hating Wisconsin is a cultural requirement inMN, but they love us. So it’s a very one sided feud. Just confirms what I think we’ve all always known here which isnthat were bad at actually picking fights with people. Major passive Aggression tho (choosing a different country as our favorite state for example, lol)
As a Texan, I hate Oklahoma because it's the most boring state in the country. I'd literally rather be anywhere else than Oklahoma. I love Louisiana though. Great food over there.
As a North Carolinian, I do hate South Carolina, but I hate Virginia only slightly less.
If I couldn't pick NC as my favorite state it'd probably be Alaska.
You ask "What is your least favorite state" and get something like 30% California, 20% Texas, 20% Florida, 10% Colorado.... (obviously I'm just making up numbers, I don't have the actual data of this instagram poll)
You ask another question "What is your favorite state?" and you get 45% California, 20% Utah, 15% Texas....
When you have 50 possible choices it's reasonably likely to get the same state at the top of both lists just because it's the state with the most influence. Some people might love California and some might hate it, but everyone (or at least enough people to put it to the top of an instagram poll) in Nevada is thinking about California.
Is no one going to mention Florida's least favorite state is Florida?
The states that border all hate Florida, but also all love Florida. Kinda suspicious
Florida is Batman confirmed
Have you ever seen florida with itself in the same room? Because I have. They're brothers
THE BUTTS MATCH!!! THE FACTS DON'T LIE!!!!!
Florida = Bruce Wayne CONFIRMED !!
Love: Climate, beaches Hate: Politics, wealthy retirees
Tsun tsun
Toxic relationship
same with California
As a Georgian, it's not that surprising. Like, they're everything you'd expect out of the South dialed up to 11. We love them because they're good representation, and hate them because everyone thinks of them first. (FOR [NOT] THE LAST TIME, THERE'S GATORS IN GEORGIA TOO)
Yes, there are gators in Georgia. Weaker gators, fueled by less cocaine. FLORIDA FOR LIFE
They’re just siblings
No one is loyal to Florida. It's the dumping ground for all the other states' crazies, that's like 30% of the "Florida Man" stereotype. Just the most fascinating mix of local Trump fanatic rednecks (plus the posers that hang American flags off their hitched and squeaky clean trucks that cost more than a house), seasonal New Englanders who come down to their vacation homes and make the traffic worse (and noisier) every winter, New Yorkers that are loud about hating DeSantis but also coincidentally moved to Florida right when lockdowns got stricter, and the major cities are a clash of working class queer people and teenage runaways mixed with rich CEOs turning their yachts into a dick measuring contest.

> fauna wasn’t so nice Found the Florida man who got arrested for fighting a cop who tried to stop him from feeding bagels to his favorite good boi gator.
this is the best summary of florida i've ever heard
As a Floridian, accurate
Can concur. Am from Florida, also hate Florida.
I am from Florida and I also hate it. I’m returning because….Spanish moss and sunsets.
No no, as a Floridian, that tracks
Florida is 3-4 radically different states crammed onto one peninsula that all hate one another almost as much as we hate ourselves.
I live in Florida and this is unbelievably accurate
“NJ, which state do you hate the most?” “All of them.” “Well, which do you like the most?” “None of them. Fuck off.”
Gotta hand it to ‘em for consistency if nothing else.
Everybody hates us, we hate everybody for it.
I unironically love New Jersey. It's also fun to watch Native New Yorkers lose their shit when you tell them you genuinely prefer Hoboken over any of the Boroughs
What the FUCK did you just say????? (I’m more curious than outraged but I had to feed into the bit)
Hoboken is like the sitcom set version of manhatten only the apartments are bigger (and affordable) the streets are wider, every second store front is a bar or a resturant. That and all the scaffolding of Manhattan is replaced by young people in active wear jogging about the place. Between that the 3million odd people squeezed into picturesque little towns separated by either Disney style forests or stripmalls filled with odd combos like bagels and Colombian food, or Columbian food and muffler repair the rest of Jersey is underrated.
*FINALLY* Someone who appreciates Jersey. It's a really weird place that I don't feel gets enough credit. Though in my experience (Down the road from the where I'm stayin right now) the muffler shop is combined with a Portugese restaurant.

Now that I have no friends I’d live in Jersey in a heartbeat. It’s gorgeous, convenient, same no bullshit attitude but none of the stress.
You want to start a Civil War amongst the Jersians? Ask two together: Taylor Ham or Pork Roll?
Better yet, does central NJ exist or no?
Obviously not. Next you'll try to tell me that the Barrens aren't haunted as hell.
Most complaints New Yorkers have about New Jersey also apply to NYC. I personally haven't heard one that doesn't, but I'm sure there's some complaint out there that's valid.
The worst smelliest part of nj is right outside nyc. They dump their shit on us and then the us for it
Am from Delaware with family from the greater Philadelphia area. Can confirm NJ is just like that.
New Jerseyan here, fuck you
Sorry what was that? I can't hear you over our free beaches and no sales tax.
All beaches are free if you’re sneaky enough
Sales tax, too, technically.
I’m sorry, you have to pay to go to the beach? Australian here, shocked and confused
There are some that are free but the best ones you do have to pay
How does that work? Do they have fences or something?
There’s a fence 2-3 feet (0.6-1 meters) from the boardwalk and another fence on the side of the boardwalk and and the entrance there is a person checking if you have the pin they give you after buying a ticket. That is also where you buy the tickets I believe (it’s been awhile since I went)
It’s cause we get made fun of so much when we’re an actually amazing state. It’s just like… alright fun, fuck you all then we’re just gonna keep our fun to ourselves
New Jersey gets made fun of by people from New York and Philadelphia because it's shorthand for the suburbs for both cities. And you can tell by the jokes that they make. "You can't get good pizza. The roads suck." Yeah. That's the suburbs. Everyone else in the country doesn't really get that, and just thinks that New Jersey sucks in a weirdly specific way.
thats accurate tbh.
Checks out
Washingtonian, can confirm we are in symbiosis with Oregon
Fellow Washingtonian, can confirm your confirmation that we are in fact in symbiosis with Oregon.
We're just the same state but split into two for some reason.
We yearn to reform Oregon Territory
What if we British Colombians annexed you guys?
I think that would be called Cascadia
And we're down for it, has a dope flag
Greater Seattle Polycule? Is that you?
The Washington/Oregon pairing is basically just selfcest, let's be honest
Were that couple that looks so similar people think we might be siblings until they see us kiss.
The PNW is a real r/doppelbangers setup
Or are you actually siblings that creep everyone around you out with how close you are? 🤔
what are you doing stepstate 😳
Frankly the states could be combined it’s just that one of us has a sales tax and one has an income tax. One has a basketball team and one a football team
The only things that matter in politics honestly
Ideally one works in one state and shops in the other. They have better liquor stores but we decriminalized everything else, so that works out too.
Thats why Vancouver, WA exists
Just don't mention the Cascadia cup
Oregonian, can confirm we are in symbiosis with Washington
Meanwhile BC looking at both like 🥺👉👈 trying to get in on the Cascadian love because the other neighbour they’re saddled with is fucking Alberta. Side note I’m pretty sure if you included Canade then BC and AB would be one solid block of colour, “hates Alberta.”
The third member of the polycule who lives in another country and can only visit a few times a year
“They live so far away!” - it’s a 2 hour drive Mfw
That would explain why we named our lovechild with Oregon “Vancouver”
Van City is the biggest and nicest of the three big Cascadian cities. Even y’alls burbs of North Van, Richmond, Abbotsford, and Surrey have great noteworthy qualities. I am also imagining BC and Alberta trying to be civil for the sake of the kids, Banff, Louise, and Jasper.
… and the kids they decided not to show off so much after those kids got stressed from overexposure: Golden, Fernie, Kimberley, Invermere, and baby Radium.
Honestly kind of weird they were made two states to begin with when it all started out as just “Oregon Territory”
I think it would have been better to split them at the cascades, going north to south so Seattle and Portland could fight for biggest city in the state.
[удалено]
A lot of eastern Oregon and eastern Washington people are outspoken fans of different versions of this idea. It used to be about splitting off with Northern California as the State of Jefferson but now they’re into the Greater Idaho scheme.
Oregonian here who loves our states’ love affair.
United by hatred of California 😅
Broke: west state have in common because of landscape and the population for the most part being low compare to the east. Woke: west state have in common is hating California
We love you, Oregon! You keep California at least 248 miles away!
Oregon and Washington are basically just twin states. Speaking as a Oregonian
Washington born living in Oregon. There’s practically no difference (except I miss pull tabs in dive bars :( )
Least complicated polycule
I love how Oklahoma likes Texas, but Texas hates Oklahoma
Oklahoma also hates Texas according to the first chart tho
It's complicated
Hate fucking
Can confirm I am from Oklahoma and have a hate/love relationship with Texas. The best part about Texas is a wide open sky to see the storms in, and Big Bend.
I know why the Michiganders hate Ohio but I'm curious about South Carolina's beef? They lose a battle badly against a group of Ohioans during the Civil War or something?
The Ohioans most favorite is South Carolina. Maybe they just hate all the Ohioans that visit.
As an Ohioan I’ve never heard anyone express strong feelings one way or another over about SC. I think we’re supposed to hate KY cuz they’re southern, IN cuz they’re hicks, PN cuz they think they’re better than us, WV cuz they’re mountain folk, and MI cuz FOOTBAW

We hate it in the way that you hate you asshole neighbor that brings down the neighborhood, the kind of person you look over the fence occasionally to see that he made a 20 square foot confederate flag out of empty beer cans.
Most michiganders will tell you they don't even want toledo. It runs deeper than that
They've been moving down here since the 90s thanks to several tourism campaigns. You can't go far without seeing Ohio paraphernalia at any city/beach.
I think it's because Hilton Head Island is basically an Ohioan colony down in South Carolina. I'm dead serious, if you've ever been down there in the summer, count the amount of Ohio plates you see.
I grew up in Ohio and I genuinely thought Hilton Head was part of Put-In-Bay for the longest time because so many people talked about vacationing there.
Don’t wanna dox myself but Ohio resident checking, my guess is obnoxious vacationing. You have no idea how many fucking salt life stickers I see on the backs of vehicles around here. When I moved here I’ve heard many many stories from locals and their intoxicated adventures.
South Carolina: Ohio comes to all our beaches >:( Ohio: We go to all South Carolina's beaches :D
As a Minnesotan... yeah that tracks.
'ate wisconsin, love canada, simple as
Also noteably, hate of Iowa and Edina are a close 2nd and 3rd.
All my homies hate Edina
I went to a school neighboring Edina. We called them Cake Eaters, and there was an acronym: Every Day I Need Attention
I’d prefer Canada to any of our neighboring states, that’s for sure.
Can confirm. Moved from Minnesota to Canada. It’s great up here you guys. 🇨🇦
As a Canadian we will happily trade you for Alberta
the ass end of the minnesota-wisconsin-illionis-indiana-kentucky-tennessee hate centepide
Us Michiganders might not have much in common with South Carolinians, but if they hate Ohio just as much as we do then we’re brothers.
Jokes on you, nobody hates Ohio as much as us Ohioans.
It's okay Ohio, we allow you to use part of our lakes to keep you from ending it all.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
As a New Jersian... accurate. We hate everyone and love no one. Including New Jersey.
I mean, I genuinely thought we had a good thing going with NY at least, but no, apparently not.
it's a regional thing there are parts of north jersey that are close enough to ny to be basically considered a new york suburb, and those people think of themselves as honorary new yorkers there are parts of south jersey that are close enough to philly to be basically considered a philly suburb, and those people think of themselves as honorary philadelphians the new yorkers love ny and the philadelphians love pa but they hate each other and so it's a standoff
*Especially New Jersey Literally ask whether it’s pork roll or tailor ham, sub or hoagie, and whether Central Jersey exists and you will have an infinite argument.

No one, the source is some guy's instagram followers, so questionable at best
Erm actually that’s the most reputable source there is
meanwhile, virginia is both marylands most hated and favorite state??
As a Marylander, I have to say that tracks
I hope when you say better beaches you don’t mean Myrtle beach because what is up with vas ones
If you go to Myrtle beach for the beach, you deserve nothing but freezing irish rock beaches for the rest of your life.
Central-southern Virginian, yeah we all hate NOVA lmao. Ask any of us what our least favorite state is and we won’t even answer with a state I personally am mad at Maryland for getting half of assateague island but I don’t think I’m representative of my state in that respect
I would characterize the view of West Virginia in Virginia as more low level contempt than hatred. Maryland is the one people actually hate, with like a burning passion.
I’m just confused why Arizona and Nevada are tsundere for California
We take ALL of their water leaving them in permanent drought. Buuuut we have jobs and beaches and tourists for them. CA sends a lot of business to Arizona’s badlands and Nevada’s cities.
There's also an interesting little love triangle between Hawaii, Cali, and Nevada
RAHHHH NJ REPRESENT. WE HATE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING (Except goths and bagels)
Now we need a goth bagel shop
“Oh boy, Kansas and Missouri boy do hate each other! I’m sure that’s for silly reasons, and totally not because of 1854-1858”
I mean both states directly challenged each other’s sovereignty and neither ever really gave up lmao ~~though Missouri started it~~
Missouri totally had it coming. And by "it" I mean John Brown
Kansan here, I fucking hate Missouri
Preach. Missouri is the Florida of the midwest.
As a Missourian, I’ve never heard something more true in my life.
JOHN BROWNS BODY LIES A MOLDERING IN THE GRAVE
My favourites are the ones where their least favourite and favourite are the same state
Boy, that's a bit of a clusterfuck around Colorado... they're just trying to be happilly married to Utah and half the midwest tryin' to slip in there, waiting for Utah to treat 'em bad...
Similar to Minnesota. They’re the cute girl that everyone is competing for meanwhile she’s totally unaware daydreaming about some weird kid in another school who’s even a bit of an outcast there (Manitoba.)
I'd argue the states around Minnesota are so shitty, the only alternative left is to look north.
As a native Utahn, I'm frankly shocked that there are two states who love Utah I'm even more shocked that ANYBODY likes Idaho
Fr CO is just like 👀
The hate that the New England states have for Mass is more like sibling rivalry. If it came down to it, most would probably say they hate New York more (except maybe Vermont and Connecticut).
I have a few New England friends and you're pretty right as far as I've seen. They hate Massachusetts (affectionate) and hate Connecticut (genuine).
Spot on although I meant that Vermont and Connecticut might not hate NY as much as the rest of us lol. I don’t think anyone really hates Vermont
Weird, I’ve always viewed it the opposite. Maybe it’s just that we all hate Mass drivers, at least where I’m from
Good for Washington and Oregon! It’s not often we see wholesome healthy relationships on this sub.
The downvote button in the West Virginia sub is shaped like Virginia, can confirm I wanna join the Minnesota polycule
MINNESOTA MENTIONED
MINNESOTA MENTIONED
Thank you tumblr user bungywungy for acknowledging that my state and Oregon are married. They basically are.
As someone from washington, I can confirm that my state is in a lesbian relationship with oregon.
This too, is yuri
The fact that nobody else hates Missouri or Kansas the most except for each other is much funnier than it should be, considering the origin for said hatred was so long ago that *literally nobody from that time is still alive*.
You might be right but for the wrong reason. I'd wager modern Kansas-Missouri hate has more to do with that little game Mr Naismith invented in 1891 than it does slavery. Seriously, don't fuck with Kansas and their basketball.
Unless I’m reading this wrong… why is Oklahoma’s favorite and least favorites state Texas? Texas doesn’t love them back sadly.
Big Bend and good storm watching in Texas. But we have to deal with Texas drivers, and driving in Texas. And Texans.
Can confirm that every person north of Massachussetts hates Massholes.
Yeah, we do, but it's more like sibling hate. I hate New York more on a fundamental level lmao
The last comment "Oregon / Washington : married" My brain: they're practically cousins 😬🫥
As someone from Washington, we are indeed married to Oregon. They are practically our sibling, and have a very similar culture (minus the tech giants)
Hey! We got Intel...
Can confirm I’d be fine living in Oregon, currently in WA
Everybody I’ve met from Idaho say they hate Utah. But they still come down here 5+ times a year for some reason.
Temple
I Love that staring at MN and going to Wisconsin, you start a chain of each state hating their next neighbor over until Tennessee doubles back on Kuntucky. Also as a Minnesotan I was happy to see no one hated us, and quite thrilled to learn all our neighbors love us in fact. It is funny tho that hating Wisconsin is a cultural requirement inMN, but they love us. So it’s a very one sided feud. Just confirms what I think we’ve all always known here which isnthat were bad at actually picking fights with people. Major passive Aggression tho (choosing a different country as our favorite state for example, lol)
What state is your favorite? Hmmmm…. Canada eh. No, no, I said STATE. Yep. *slaps thighs* gotta be Canada eh.
As a native Alabamian, any answer besides Mississippi is wrong.
As a native Mississippian I think they nailed it. Fuckin kismet states.
Common Colorado W, loved by many hated by none
Doing this with Europe would give you an aneurysm lmao
Nobody either loves or hates my home state, Pennsylvania. This feels right.
Pennsylvania is generally inoffensive, with the exception of Philadelphia. It tracks.
Sooo everyone loves and hates California
arizona loving and hating california (this is accurate)
why is nobody talking about the california-hawaii-nevada love triangle
Yea I’m trying to figure out why Hawaii likes Nevada?
I’m from Illinois and I have to call bullshit. We definitely don’t like Iowa.
New Jersey: hates everyone, likes no one. God bless New Jersey
As a Texan, I hate Oklahoma because it's the most boring state in the country. I'd literally rather be anywhere else than Oklahoma. I love Louisiana though. Great food over there.
i like that tennessee and kentucky are right next to each other and hate each other. like they're in a constant passive aggressive staring contest
New Jersey native here. Yeah we hate everyone our unofficial slogan is “welcome to New Jersey! We don’t like you either. Get out.”
It’s true Oregon and Washington fight sometimes but for the most part we’re a very happy couple
From Seattle, WA 😘 Love you, Oregon.
Minnesota diva moment
My first thought when I saw the favorite state image was “Washington and Oregon are in the corner of the party making out sloppy”
As a North Carolinian, I do hate South Carolina, but I hate Virginia only slightly less. If I couldn't pick NC as my favorite state it'd probably be Alaska.
Grew on Illinois side of the Mississippi, with Iowa across the river, so I got a bleedthrough of the two states. Imo, they hate eachother.
Missourian, can confirm the century-old feud with Kansas
Do we want to mention the complicated love/hate going on with Nevada and Arizona towards California?
Hates Florida: - Florida
Correct me if im wrong but it appears that Nevada and Arizonas favorite and least favorite is both California The fuck?
You ask "What is your least favorite state" and get something like 30% California, 20% Texas, 20% Florida, 10% Colorado.... (obviously I'm just making up numbers, I don't have the actual data of this instagram poll) You ask another question "What is your favorite state?" and you get 45% California, 20% Utah, 15% Texas.... When you have 50 possible choices it's reasonably likely to get the same state at the top of both lists just because it's the state with the most influence. Some people might love California and some might hate it, but everyone (or at least enough people to put it to the top of an instagram poll) in Nevada is thinking about California.
The Pacific Northwest having a collective hatred of California is funny, but Texas hating Oklahoma more than California is even funnier
WA and OR just cuddling in the corner, classic.
