The thing that binds all Mainers - mutual and unrelenting hate of Massachusetts

No no no, the ‘hate’ for Massachusetts is a sibling rivalry and resentment, not really heartfelt hatred like we have for New York or Florida

The hate for Florida from any state is unmatched. 🤣

Northern Florida is Dixie. Southern Florida is the Caribbean. Central Florida is property of the Disney corporation.

Florida has it's own hatred.... North FL vs South FL and East Coast vs West Coast. The panhandle, we don't even consider them Floridians.

Lived in North Florida for a decade and then some. You mostly forget about South Florida entirely unless you're watching one of those movies or TV shows about cops shooting drug dealers (because there's a 95% chance those are in Miami), or unless you meet a student who tells you they moved for college from "around Miami".

Agreed. Having lived in South Florida for seven years I have a new found respect for other New Englanders and an irrational dislike of NYC and New Jersey. Sibling rivalry is the best word for it.

As someone who lives part time in MA and ME - we all suck.
