You must not have ever visited the south. Southerners HATE Californians in particular. To be fair, most of the country hates Californians because we get fancy educations and make more money than them. Then we sell our big expensive houses, and go buy up the property in their poor regions and it drives the prices up so they have to move to the ghettos. Then they say education is a waste of time.

Are southerners even capable of thought?

Southerners hate Californians far more than Californians hate Southerners. Californians don't devote a single second of though to Southerners, but Southerners devote just about every second to hate of Californians because they're in the South, it sucks for a variety of reasons, and the only reason they're almost afloat at all is because California is supporting them.

And they know it. It's all an avoidance technique, just like "family" or "roots" or "whatever" is keeping everyone living in flyover TornadoLand right now. Say it over and over, to ignore the truth. You're afraid, and incapable of change, and are terrified what might happen if you leave the little pond.

The great majority of this country is wasteland, and everyone knows it. There are major business and cultural centers in this country, and they're all Blue, or in Blue states, and everyone knows it.

Buffalo Commons, baby, until the melting glaciers make the rivers split the country in half. You asked for it, it's coming, and fast.

A few points:

You’ve obviously never lived on the Atlantic coast if you think it’s full of hippies.

I lived in Mississippi for years and they talked crap about “Yankees” as often as they could. They thought they were superior to northerners in all aspects of life.

I lived in Pennsylvania for years and rarely if ever heard anybody talk about the South. (Minus the posers who fly confederate flags).

I'm from the north and live now in the south. While north, rarely heard any comment regarding the south or southerners. Down here the population of natives is paranoid against anyone who is not from "arund here" but hold a special level of distrust of anyone from the north.

I just appreciate your taking the brunt from some of the jabs lobbed at us. Your recent abortion law changes don't help you.

Over compensation due to insecurities and low self esteem. The south, Californias, and Northeasterners all act in their own annoying way.

it could be because the southern states are all tax leaches and steal federal tax dollars. I would love to see a 'keep your own' tax law at some point, dictating that all fed taxes paid must stay in the state they were paid in

I grew up in the north but now live in the slower south. In general most southerners are just nicer people. I don’t know if it’s that northerners are more arrogant or just moving at a faster pace so they ignore positive human interaction. I love the south and will never move back!

Some Northern Californians mock Southern Californians and some Southern Californians mock Northern Californians.

Some Liberals mock Conservatives and some Conservatives mock Liberals.

Some Whites mock Blacks and some Blacks mock Whites.

I'm a Californian and I'm just puzzled by Southerners. I know that the stereo-types portrayed in movies is just that...stereo-types. I do mock religious fanatics, but not all religious fanatics are Southerners and not all Southerners are religious fanatics.

It seems every place I've ever worked or lived people have a tendency to think in terms of 'them' and 'us.'

West coast hippies have a lot more in common with southerners than one would think

Yet there are more people, and more votes in the blue states. These maps prove several things.

Yeah, because defending innocent human beings from deliberate slaughter is a touchstone of barbarism, n'est-ce pas?
