It’s not just the south. Posters on this site have plenty to say about “flyover country” as well.
I figure that a lot of it comes from a sense of superiority and/or ignorance. I have a relative who hates a particular region even though she’s never been there, nor has she ever met anyone from there.

Can you please speak on the racism then?

We're not.
Then stop electing racist MAGA cult members into office. It's really simple.
I didn't vote for them or Trump, just like you didn't and yet.

My husband's rural Florida home town literally has a Trump shrine and just so, so much meth.
As a pregnant woman right now, I wouldn't even visit Florida because there's now a serious risk they'll let you die if something goes wrong.

Huh. My Harvard-educated BIPOC spouse from rural Deep South who was a Dem Presidential appointee and is now a C-suite exec would like a word.
Your brush is a touch too broad.
