Are there states if you hear of them you immediately think about some negative stereotype? I noted that my first thought when I hear about Kentucky or West Virginia is the word "deplorables". In Germany the same with Saxony, where I almost immediately think of nazis.

It's actually somewhat unfair because there are also a lot of good people from these states. Even on here, many Kentucky posters are FFs. And West Virginia's landscape and nature is also beautiful, especially Appalachians in summer and autumn. And Dresden and Leipzig are, having been there, fascinating cities.

I took a trip through East KY and South WV about 15 years ago and the landscape was dominated by abandoned everything with the houses or trailers still occupied not looking much better, can't imagine things look better now.  You're talking about places that have lost half or two-thirds (Harlan) or 80% (McDowell) of their peak population.  I guess if you went to places away from coal mining that never had much population, it would would look more natural and scenic, but i really didn't go there.

Florida, Alabama, (but surprisingly not Mississippi), Kentucky, Kansas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan (thanks Detroit), Delaware, New Jersey

I think that's it.

I have neutral thoughts about Missouri, Mississippi, New York, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, the Dakotas, Idaho, Iowa, Maryland...

Pretty much positive thoughts about the rest.

California, where everyone is a kale-eating, America-bashing, social justice warrior who guards their marijuana farms with gun-free zone signs.

yeah... like Georgia where everyone lives in a ticky-tacky McMansion 75 miles from downtown Atlanta and drives on clogged roads to get to work 30 miles on the other side of downtown Atlanta and votes Republican because "they" (those Africans that are moved rapidly throughout Atlanta on MARTA) vote for the witch and her blacky muslim buddy b HUSSEIN.

I tend to think more about the natural features of states, but Alabama is definitely up there.

I do as well, which is why I have more positive feelings about places like Utah, Montana, New Mexico (the negative would be the poverty, not the people), Alaska, etc.

In the eastern states that's a bit harder to do.  There just isn't much of any interesting natural feature-wise in Kansas (in particular) or the teensy states.

Also subtle negatives for pretty much every "Heartland" state (but they deserve some of it for f*&king the inner cities by voting against "muh elitists") such as The Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Wyoming, Oklahoma.

But Florida, that's the one state that always elicits a visceral reaction.

This is, of course, absurd. California is establishment, sane, and, unlike Illinois, is a corporate magnet without corruption. Same goes with the undue vitriol towards Florida and New Jersey, which are Freedom States.

Have you ever considered that people may disagree with you about what constitutes sane?

Does Germany have the same situation as the US, where the farther south you go, the more Redneck it gets?
