Been all over the country... to every state...
I don't hate any state....but I'll admit, on many states, I have issues with those that run the government in those states.. ( democRATs)... in states that have a large metro area, or are refuges for immigrants from other countries, especially from south of the border, or the Caribbean.. I don't care for a lot of those people regardless of where they came from... I tend to act toward people the exact way they act toward me.. urbanites anywhere just seem to think they are better than people who aren't urbanites....
if ya push me, yeah, I think less of people at times who are from Maryland...
but that is because I am from Virginia...they taught us that in school I think.... Marylanders look down on us...
and ya don't trust people from North Carolina...that's a Virginia thing also they taught ya in school..
but that is a left over from the Civil War thing.. they hoarded all the supplies, and left other states troops without much
while they used everyone else's supplies...kinda like relatives who come to visit and never leave until they used all your stuff.
Folks who hate other states, are usually hating the people from there, and the clowns that run the other state..
each state themselves there is a good reason to like each one when ya visit.. well minus urban areas...
( this is full of humor in case someone needs that explained to them...)

but the rest of KY doesn't really care about anyone else but KY, they believe they are the true South. The rest of the states south of KY really don't know where KY fits in regarding North vs. South.
The western part of Kentucky where I grew up is very much like the south. The central part of the state gets a lot of cultural influence from Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati and isn't all that much like the deep south,..but it definitely isn't like the north. Even so, there's small towns in Central Kentucky that are very southern in their cultural orientation,...such as Cynthiana in Harrison County. Much of Kentucky is still rural,..and it's small enough that the people here still retain a sense of community with fellow Kentuckians outside of the big urban areas. In fact, I think a similar mindset is common throughout many of the southern states. We're our own people down here in the southeast. The western part of Kentucky, in particular, the Jackson Purchase and the counties along the Tennessee border, were very pro-Confederate in their sympathies. This part of the state tried to secede, and formed Confederate capitals in Russellville and then in Bowling Green. Today, we still think of ourselves as being Southern, and to be honest, have far more in common with our neighbors to the South than we do with the northern and eastern parts of Kentucky.

You would find a lot in common with the rural part of central Kentucky that's in the triangle between Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati.

Where I grew up in Western Kentucky, I could be in Illinois in 15 minutes (even sooner if the bridge was closer) Missouri in about 45 minutes, and Tennessee in an hour.

I’m in Alaska & we must hate all y’all
As we look down our noses & refer to the “lower” 48 🤷🏻♂️ Well duh, we're all S/SE of you.................you have to look down to see us!  Hell gunner this time o year we have to scrape frost off of our lashes to see anything ! 🤷🏻♂️🤔🤦🏼♂️
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

When the big oil boom hit Alaska many years ago it brought a lot of Texans, along with their big egos, north....and they rubbed the locals the wrong way. The saying went something like, "Happiness is a Texan headed south with an Okie under each arm." I remember that as a bumper sticker in the 70s.

Do the Canadian Provinces hate each other? Everyone in Ontario think Quebec sucks? On one of my trips driving through Canada back the AK, I used a stall at a cafe in BC. Penned on the stall wall was a little poem: Here I sit My ass hole hurtin’ Cause I just chit Another Albertan

Could have fooled me. Every weekend in the summer it's a bumper to bumper chitshow of NoDak plates flooding in to MN to their lake homes, clogging up every public water access and fishing over the limits. Must not hate it too bad.

Wonder why the Dakotas hate each other?
It's a North vs. South thing. I didn’t know that we did? I didn't either, that was a parody on the whole civil war "north vs south" thing.

Idaho hates California because they've been infesting us with their vermin for years. They're fine if they leave their liberal crap behind them but many don't. They also drive the housing market up because they can sell a house in CA for $800k and buy a better one in ID for half that. I think Oregon and Washington have the same thing going.

Penned on the stall wall was a little poem: Here I sit My ass hole hurtin’ Cause I just chit Another Albertan Didn't Quebec try and secede once or twice? I think that was where California liberals got the idea. Speaking of did anyone hear the interview with the CEO of Palantir railing against the Palo Alto "We know better" types?

It's just not states. Counties hate each other too.
I have relatives in Nebraska. Their license plates indicate what county they live in.
Steady stream of dialogue "That car/tuck is from effin' (pick your county). They don't know how to drive."
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Most wets who cross the river can't afford to go back home after getting a job here. Its the same with the northern immigrants who come here and find economic opportunity that they can't find at home either. I just wish that the northern immigrants would leave their politics back where they came from, but tthat's not the usual pattern. At least those who cross the southern border aren't bent on making thing "bettter" in Texas like they think that it is back home.
I can't speak to yankees but the assertion that an illegal can't afford to go back and forth is false. They can and have for generations.
