Why do Americans hate Florida?

Why do Americans hate Florida?

I tried asking Reddit but they only gave meme responses like "le crazy Florida man XD," "muh old people" and "Bush."

The panhandle is filled with inbred retards
The middle is filled with old as fuck useless retirees
South Florida is filled with spics and niggers

Expensive to vacation and full of college kids.
Lots of rednecks.

It's just trashy.

It combines the worst aspects of the South with the worst aspects of the Caribbean.

>95 degrees Fahrenheit
>100% humidity
Hmm.

This. It's the humidity that kills it.

You get outrageous heat in Arizona, but the lack of humidity there makes it much more tolerable.

>One of the most hottest and most uncomfortably humid states in the whole country

>Hurricanes

>Fucking floods

>Entire state is sinking economically and physically with sinkholes increasing by the thousands every year

>Florida is the Australia of the U.S. with everything trying to kill you, whether it be the meth head citizens, or the poisonous snakes, spiders, fire ants, 2 million+ alligators, leopards, wild boars, sharks, etc.

>No seasons, same weather year round

>For being called the sunshine state, it rains and storms every single day almost no matter where you are in the state

>the flattest state in the country, no hills or good views

>quicksand

>swamps supply whole state with mosquitos

>The hunting sucks

>The fishing isn't any better

>The Florida man/woman memes aren't even a joke, every one down here is fucking crazy and abnormal.

>rednecks

>immigrants and fucking Mexicans/Cubans who don't speak English

> Home owners need to pay extra money for hurricane and flood insurance

>TOURISTS RUINING EVERYTHING

>No mountains or views (flattest state as mentioned above)

>You'll never experience the blooming of spring

>You'll never experience snow

>I think we always score lowest and rank the worst when it comes to education

>no jobs

If you wanna take your kids down to see Disney and go the beach for the weekend, then Florida might just be the happiest place on earth. But if you live here like I do, you'll hate every second of it. I miss Ohio.

>Florida is the Australia of the U.S. with everything trying to kill you, whether it be the meth head citizens, or the poisonous snakes, spiders, fire ants, 2 million+ alligators, leopards, wild boars, sharks, etc.
Sounds like a nice place for a vacation

>I tried asking Reddit
and you should fucking stay there

because people from florida are retarded

This

I regret writing that post as a green text, it makes it harder to read. But it literally is the Australia of the states, Black widows aren't fun, wild boars and leopards around the northern parts are the only good thing to hunt, snakes and alligators getting into people's backyards are a risk for infants and elderly. I just want to go back to Ohio where it's colder and not as much life is present. I forgot to mention the armadillos in Florida that chase me weekly and are filled with bacteria in their saliva.

where do you live

...

I love Florida

Baker/Destin, why?

You sound like a pussy if you're afraid of armadillos. I see armadillos every so often, and there is literally no reason to be afraid of them. Most of them don't actually have leprosy, and 90% of humans are immune to leprosy anyways.

M'dude,
*kicks flipflop*
No, I don't wear lac*stes, it's from Crocs

All of the people you don't like from other states naturally move or retire to Florida at some point in their life. Very few people I meet were actually born in Florida.
For some reason, people suck at driving too, maybe because of all the third worlders (a name not limited to puerto ricans btw).

Obligatory fuck Bush and Rick Scott too.
*skimboards away*

jesus christ guy. and you wonder why you hate florida so much

>Why do Americans hate Florida?
who says we do?
haven't been there in 30 years, but no hate.

It's nice here
t. Boca Raton

>I get chased by armadillos weekly. They're so scary.

old rich jew from ny detected

>I tried asking Reddit but they only gave meme responses like "le crazy Florida man XD," "muh old people" and "Bush."

These are all legitimate responses though, not memes.

Every news story about someone doing something batshit insane happened in Florida.

Florida is basically God's waiting room

And it really is the reason we got Bush for 8 years

What's not to hate?

The people are either dixie hicks, ghetto niggers, browns who don't speak english, or rich Jews from NY that can't fucking drive.
The weather is really nice for about 5 seconds, then the humidity hits.
The only Americans that like Florida are people who have never been and people in denial over how shitty it is

It's wonderful south of the panhandle November to April. The rest of the year it's a miserable tropic steam bath.

The easy living and proximity to the deep south attracts some real losers. And it's God's waiting room, so yeah a lot of wrinklies and Q-Tips.

Nice place to visit ...

I am a desert folk and yeah I can confirm the type of heat over there is just awful.

You get used to it but good lord when you step off the airplane you can FEEL the thickness in the air.

Something (that was honestly my fault) that happened one time I was traveling kind of threw me off guard. I was getting extremely dehydrated (dizzy, felt like I was going to puke, etc.) even though everything was heavily clouded. In the desert you can more or less easily tell when you need water, but in places with a 100% humidity it's harder to tell.

That said though their Didney is patrician. Shame the rest of Orlando is chock-full of bitter folks.

Why does the electoral college give Florida (and Ohio) so many votes?

I know the system itself is so big cities can't outvoice small towns but it's confusing to me that places like Wyoming are basically worthless either way...

Slavery legacy. The gave the south more delegates for muh feelings and because blacks were 3/5 of a man. Or something stupid.

We really need to repeal the 14th, damn it. Clinton recived over 2 million more votes, but the electors are still going to give it to Trump. Kind of messed up for a country that professes democracy. When even bother?

But yeah, Florida. The place is also the winter home to a lot of okd snowbirds, so the geriatric population swells in winter. Then in March spring break starts and the place is flooded with drunk, loud college kids - mostly at the beach resorts.

Because they aren't floridians. They are northerners who get nostalgic or frustrated with the relative right wing style of Florida and so they just shit on it constantly.

Also, this contaminates other floridians from time to time, and end up spouting the same shit that they do.

Population

Fuck Florida

Not every crazy story is from Florida, but unfortunately the memes have taken over.

Every time something crazy happens in florida, the headliner is "FLORIDA MAN/WOMAN _______"

Whenever some crazy shit happens in other states, and they constantly do, no headliner. They just kind of squeeze the state somewhere in the middle of the article.

Case in point.
nypost.com/2016/11/25/black-friday-violence-breaks-out-across-america/
Fucking everyone is shooting each other for better deals but no mention of Florida.

If this had happened in Florida, it would read:
"FLORIDA MAN SHOOTS FRIEND FOR TV" or some shit like that.

Lots of meme replies here. As a tourist I love Florida.

Oh

Well it makes sense I guess. Though it would be uncomfortable to live in a state with few votes

You'd have to enjoy outdoor things to live there

I will reenact the American Frontier

>black friday violence breaks out
>NY POST

It doesn't.
Florida is the 4th most populous state, and populous states are usually underrepresented in the electoral college.

Florida and Ohio are swing states. We don't vote the same every election, so politicians pay extra attention to these states, it has nothing to do with the States getting too many electoral votes.

slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2012/11/presidential_election_a_map_showing_the_vote_power_of_all_50_states.html

You have no fucking idea, what you are talking about, do you?

Sounds like fun

...

We are actually the weakest votes in the country.
And we still dominate every election.

Fucking northern cucks!
KEKEKEKEKKEKEKE

It's literally a leddit/twitter meme by idiot sjws and jealous rednecks from inferior states

In reality, Florida is a state that has been booming economically, population wise etc.

in polls, Florida is favourably viewed by most of the country. In fact, New Jersey is the only state with a negative opinion rating.

Not really.

New Hampshire only has 4 electoral votes, but it doesn't stop politicians from targeting it in elections.

California:
>Democrat Mexicans
>cold Pacific water
>little teeny-weenie Disney
>half the state is a desert
>cucks
>always blue

Florida:
>Republican Cubanos
>warm Atlantic water
>big strong prosperous Disney
>all of the state has lush vegetation
>absolute madmen only surpassed by Australians
>flips red or blue depending on who we want to piss off

Make up your own mind based on this info.

Literally everyone is jealous. If they say they're not jealous, they're lying. Although fuck Miami.

>populous states are usually underrepresented in the electoral college

If you actually awarded states electoral votes accurately based on their population, Wyoming would have nowhere close to three votes.

yeah fuck New Jersey and their shitty booger flag

This is true, they'd probably have one (subtract the two senators every state gets). But even if 50.1% of the vote goes to a candidate in a populous state, that candidate gets a stupid amount of electoral votes.

>>Republican Cubanos
The most insufferable group of Latinos ever made.
>>big strong prosperous Disney
overpriced meme park

t. Florida Man

Literally sounds like Queensland

Here's my favorite

>Florida student
Damn, he didn't even make it out of the Florida Man academy.

Pssst... It's actually pretty nice... there's a reason why millions of people from all over the world vacation here. Our police records are more open to the press/public than other states, which accounts for the over representation in weird news stories. Plenty of shitty areas, but there's no reason to go there.

>most of the coastline is made up of beautiful beaches
>amazing springs sprinkled across the state further inland
>tons of theme parks if you're into that
>weather is perfect from roughly October-April, you can do outdoor activities year round, if you're smart you cope with summer weather by spending your time indoors in the AC or chilling in a body of water
>best state parks in the country, tons of pristine nature to enjoy
>there's always something really fun nearby no matter where you are in the state
>best mantained roads in the country
>no state income tax (tourists pay for our services with their sales tax dollars)
>multiple big cities with big city amenities and entertainment

It's kinda the ultimate normie state, which explains its hate on Sup Forums and other online forums. You have to like going outside and having your shirt off while getting drunk and high. You have to be cool with sweating and being in harsh sunlight. To a Floridian, trashy is fun. People like to party, from the cubans to the blacks to the rednecks to the rich yankee geezers.

t. lifelong floridian

Literally nobody wants to live in Florida except old people.

>florida flishing sucks

this is the most false statement I've ever seen on Sup Forums. Are you fucking retarded m8?

Most Americans, are self-hating whites and millennial progressives of the following type:

youtube.com/watch?v=0diJNybk0Mw

They despise Florida for its regressive values, and propagandize against it for not conforming to the cosmopolitan standards of the East and West Coasts, portraying its people as backward, racist, homophobic and sexist

I spent a couple of months in Florida (and most of the southern states)
Actually had a pretty good time, the chicks are crazy... but fuuuuuuck, some of them are red hot!

Florida is actually ok. Yes it's full of brown people and yes there's some terrible parts, but it's better than most states. Top 10 desu.

>One of the most hottest and most uncomfortably humid states in the whole country
Pussy. Drink some water, wear a tank top, and go swimming.

>Hurricanes
Oh no, once every couple decades I might have to evacuate and I might be in the 1% of people who have their house damaged and payed to be repaired by insurance

>Fucking floods
Affect a miniscule amount of people a couple times a decade, literally nobody worries about storms beyond basic preperations

>Florida is the Australia of the U.S. with everything trying to kill you, whether it be the meth head citizens, or the poisonous snakes, spiders, fire ants, 2 million+ alligators, leopards, wild boars, sharks, etc.
I've only been affected by fire ants out of all those things, the rest of them have a miniscule chance of harming you even if you spend lots of time in the woods or at the beach. Stop being a pussy, millions of people manage to avoid all that shit just fine. If you see a spider, then kill it. If you see a snake, chase it off or kill it. The predators here would rather run away than attack a human. Shark attacks are 99.99999% avoidable if you don't swim at night, dawn, or dusk. Leppards don't live in Florida lol.

>No seasons, same weather year round
It gets fairly chilly in the Northern part of the state, low temps are normally in the 30's and 40's from December-February.


>For being called the sunshine state, it rains and storms every single day almost no matter where you are in the state
Only during Summer, and the storms usually last less than an hour and then it's sunny or partly cloudy agan. And huge thunderstorms are awesome, I love watching them from a porch or walking around getting soaked and feeling the warm rain pour down on me if I'm not busy

>quicksand
Really? You've actually encountered quicksand even once in your life here? I couldn't find any if I tried, I'm not even sure if it even exists at all in this state.

1. Florida is hellishly humid.
2. Florida is filled with some of the worst drivers in the western hemisphere.
3. Florida is infested with mosquitos and other demonic pests such as Africanized bees and several species of wasps.

>the flattest state in the country, no hills or good views
True, not many views. But inland central Florida and the inland Panhandle have nice rolling hills, some of them pretty steep.

>swamps supply whole state with mosquitos
Mosquitos are only bad if you live deep in the backwoods, mosquito control is pretty effective here. And they're only around for part of the year, not all the time.


>The hunting sucks
It's good enough for plenty of people to have a good time doing it

>The fishing isn't any better
Now you're just blatantly making shit up

>TOURISTS RUINING EVERYTHING
By giving us money?

>The Florida man/woman memes aren't even a joke, every one down here is fucking crazy and abnormal
That's what's fun! Embrace the crazy! Seize the day!

>I think we always score lowest and rank the worst when it comes to education
Every school district has at least several great schools for every shit one in the ghetto. Plus a great magnet school in every district that anyone with an IQ over 100 can get into easily. If you don't live in the hood, your public school will most likely be fine.

>rednecks
Like there aren't a ton of rednecks in fucking Ohio, or any other rural areas of any state outside of New England

>no jobs
Um, no? We're always expanding and diversifying our economy. I've been to rust belt states bro, and trust me, Floridians don't have any clue what "no jobs" actually means like someone from the midwest does.

Also, everyone stop thinking that the Miami metro area is similar to the rest of the state. Also, there are definitely worse places in the country than fucking Miami lol. It's pretty cool to be able to drive a couple hours and basically be in Latin America, then be able to drive home to the U.S the next week.

Who /panhandle/ here?

And Cubans. Don't forget Cubans.

Explain why tons of people, young professionals starting families mind you, are moving there in droves and not to whatever rust belt flyover shithole you rate higher

It's already passed NY as the third most populated state

Panhandle is a mad house. The way the state works is the northern part is "the south" , while the rest is Florida

Kind of.

Any rural area of Florida + all of North Florida is for the most part Southern. Go to a gas station in the middle of nowhere or a flea market in any part of the state outside of Miami and most of the people there will have Southern accents.

I wonder

Can confirm, seen a dog drink gasoline at some gas station near Daytona. I'll stick with the wild chickens on the street here in South Florida thank you.

The number of electors are determined by: one elector for each House Representative (by population) and one elector for each Senator (two each state, NOT population). So some backwards ass places that have no population get a largely skewed number of electors because they are entitled to at least two electors from the Senators.

The least populous states, eg Wyoming, have three electors even though by population they should have less. This skews the election results toward empty states, which coincidentally happen to be very conservative. Hence we have 2000, and 2016 results where someone can lose the election even having won the direct popular vote by over 2 million.

Trump still isn't President yet. The electors still have 3+ weeks before their vote, and nothing binds them legally to voting against Trump. He'd better get his shit together with regard to his business interests, his cabinet appointments, and the results of the Green Party's forced audit. He still might lose.

You're exaggerating it on the other extreme

Even rural population don't have southern accents in Florida. It's basically just panhandlers and black people

Saying people in Central Florida, for example, are southern is a tremendous lie and insult

I'm not talking about the urban areas around Orlando and Tampa, I'm talking about the small towns not in a metro area.

>Polk county

JUST GOT A .45, RIDIN THROUGH THE HOOD

youtu.be/qNSHap3RQmQ

POLK COUNTY ANTHEM

youtu.be/R4Ls1eCu64U

I'm not talking about urban or suburbam areas either.

Rural and conservative doesnt immediately mean Southern you know. Otherwise the vast majority of this country's land area is southern to you

We never had big cotton plantations or slaves down here. It's more of a cowboy type of thing, except we've been doing it before texas made it into popular culture

There are sugar cane plantations around lake Okeechobee that have been historically worked by blacks.

Whatever. It's a fact that there are tons of rednecks around Daytona, Tampa, Polk county, and every small town in between. There's a goddamn giant rebel flag flying right next to a major expressway interchange in Tampa. Go to a Buccaneers game, you will hear tons of Southern accents in the stands. There's a boiled peanut stand on the side of the road in almost every small town and good Southern BBQ is availible everywhere. Go to a high school football game in any rural county and tell me those people aren't Southern.

The farther north you go in Florida the deeper south you go. The panhandle and border regions are Alabama-tier.

I know, but I'm saying there are tons of rednecks in other parts of the state, they're just a smaller percentage of the total population of their area.

Florida's a mixed bag. Miami's great, and Orlando has some pretty cool stuff, but once you get out of the cities it's kinda shitty. The rural part of Florida (at least around Tampa) is a long, straight flat road that never ends. It's humid as hell, the skies are full of billboards for "aggressive attorneys", and you'll never know whether you're 5 minutes away from your destination or 50.
