I see that most of the West, including the PNW, hates California.

The PNW is rapidly becoming California.

But we all hate DC.

I'm guessing it's really a measure of where population density is in each state, and which state they hate. The map says Missouri hates Kansas, but here in eastern Missouri, I'd wager Illinois gets a lot more hate. Probably more population in the KC area, and they hate Kansas. Plus, all the Mizzou grads. But I hate them, so it evens out.  =)

Yeah, I dunno.   East St. Louis is what's right across the Mississippi river from you.

I note the Wisconsin also hateses on Illinois.

That's because none of us are actually from FL.  We are stuck in the overpopulated swamp for other reasons.

The people that choose to live in FL are to old to do Internet polls.  This same poll in a Readers Digest would be different.

Ours is currently Ohio (there are even tons of memes about it, apologies to T.O.M. And Adively) but it’s going to be California real soon with the massive influx of people fleeing that state for good jobs here

I understand the Michigan hates Ohio thing, that is just from the pure fact of growing up in either state.  Why does SC hate Ohio?  This is news to me.

I assume many of these grudges are from college or sports teams.

Perhaps.

It says Texans hate Oklahoma.  I was wondering if that was more the northern parts of Texas.  I am a bit indifferent about OK.  Louisiana might qualify, but that is just the closest state to me at a few hours drive away.

An indoor gun range here added an axe throwing section off to one side (was never a shooting area).  From the looks of the targets, it does get used.

I don't think I've ever seen an ambulatory brewpub, let alone one that could chuck an ax...

SC hates Ohio because of obnoxious tourists. Affects mainly the coast (especially Myrtle Beach), and I think mainly refers to the college age/young Ohioans.

I knew Ohio was Michigan's most hated state even before I clicked on this.  There's a longstanding heated rivalry between the University of Michigan and Ohio State University.
