States I would never live in and why

First of all, I have been to all 50 states and lived in 16 of them. OK, enjoy the ride. No offense if you live in one of these. Move to a blue state and you'll live a longer life

Texas: dumb governor and poor gun control
Arizona: Becoming a Dem state but still has GOP entrails. Where Kari Lake is from. Too hot.
Idaho: Great backpacking in the north but rednecks galore. Boise is boring and Moscow is not a good name for a college town
North Dakota: Please, I went to college and got something out of it
South Dakota: Fruitcake governor and cold wind
Wyoming: Cold, windy, nice mountains but basically stupid people
Kansas: Jesus is the law, western part of the state looks like a scene from the Book of Eli or Road Warrior
Oklahoma: Tornadoes and too close to Texas
Missouri: Rural folks don't get out much from their mobile home parks
Arkansas: Look who they elected governor. Are they serious?
Kentucky: Two liberal areas and the rest is redneck cesspool. Visit Murray, Ky., if you want to step back in time
Ohio: Cincinnati is fine; the rest is a dump and Jim Jordan is from there
Alabama: Seriously? Check out education and annual salaries of most folks
Mississippi: Fox TV helps them get through the day
Louisiana: Other than New Orleans, too many came ball caps and overalls
Florida: A redneck dumping ground and beetles that fly in high humidity. Fascist governor
South Carolina: Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott got elected there. How stupid are they people despite a lovely coastline
West Virginia: God bless them for digging coal and realizing the harmful effects
Indiana: Not exactly Illinois. Pence prays too much for me
Iowa: What do you do there? Go to the grange hall and watch Fox?
Utah: 3.2 ABV beer. A bit overdone on religion. Beautiful mountains and the Great Salt Lake is drying up.
California: I was born there and lived in Palo Alto and Santa Monica. But the water issue is worsening. Also, Kevin McCarthy got elected

That about wraps it up. I do like western Montana, Alaska and Georgia.
