Just Fun for Today

This map was making the rounds on Twitter today:


There are many states I don't know well enough to assess, but for the ones I do, it seems pretty accurate. Minnesotans do kind of hate Wisconsin, and Wisconsinites do hate Illinois. All of the western states generally dislike California.

The northern New England states do kind of hate Massachusetts, and New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut do find New Jersey pretty distasteful (or at least they make fun of it). Though I would say that Upstate New York probably hates downstate New York more than it hates New Jersey... but no one ever includes Upstate when they discuss New York, so that's par for the course. New Jersey, of course, hates everyone.

I love the subtle grouping of Georgia and Alabama as hating Florida... with Florida. I guess South Carolina also hates itself, but who can blame them. And Hawaii (the happiest state, according to polling) and North Carolina (for some unknown reason) don't hate anyone.
