You mean kinda like the southerners who hate all "damn Yankees"?
Pot, meet kettle.
Now, you see, there are “Yankees” and “damn Yankees”.
Yankees stay home. Damn Yankees move down here and try to make it a liberal hellhole like home.
All jokes aside, you will find that hate is returned with hate. This thread started with anti-Southern bigotry and degenerated from there.
Like I said, there is no issue between North and South anymore beyond what some in the North want. They hate the South either from what they’ve seen in the movies, or because they hate anyone not living in a city. Since they think that only the South (from movies, again) is rural, it’s the target.
It also makes them feel better to be living in a State they view as the “good guy”, despite history showing there were no “good guys” in that war.
