TEXAS – This one hurts for the state of Texas.

Out of the top 10 ‘most hated’ states in the U.S., Texas is coming in as the second ‘most-hated,' according to an analysis by lifestyle website Best Life.

New Jersey took the top spot, and Texas was followed by California.

Best Life says its findings were gathered by calculating the percentages of the population that have recently moved out of each state, analyzing a Gallup poll of which citizens felt the most pride in their home states, and the findings of researcher Matt Shirley, who took a poll from his 320,000 Instagram followers on which state they hate most.

The results of the analysis provided a final score of Best Life’s hatred index, where the higher the number, the more hated that state is.

Alaska, California, New Mexico and Oklahoma are the states that hate Texas the most, according to BL’s findings.

For Texas, the numbers were as follows:

• Population change compared to the U.S. average: 2 percent
• State pride: 68 percent
• States that hate it: Alaska, California, New Mexico, Oklahoma
• Population of states that hate it:46,297,568
• Hatred Index: 758

Oklahoma and New Mexico I understand, but what did we do to Alaska?

Wait.  Does Florida hate itself?  Or am I color blind?

A shit-ton of Texans work in Alaska.

[Blotto 23606]

I like how Oklahoma has one state that hates it, Texas. But the magnitude of that hatred is enough to rank Oklahoma as the 4th most hated state overall.

Alaskans get pissy that Alaska is very rarely shown to scale on maps, thus making Texas much closer to Alaska's size than in reality.

That, and our music's better.

That’s a masterclass in presenting info in the least clear way possible.

[Surly Bevo 25261]

The key finding here is the shocking discovery that Floridians are more self aware than Ohioans

[millhouse 2637]

Florida hating Florida and the Dakotas hating each other without anyone else acknowledging them makes this chart worth the click

Maybe we should be the super friendly state...or maybe the other 49 states and the rest of the known world can fuck right off. 

[Bender Bending Rodriguez 1693]

The population of Texas has almost doubled since 1990. Imagine if people actually liked us!

[Twizzler 161]

Texans in Colorado need to step up their game.  Getting beat by california?

The only positive about New Jersey is not pumping your own gas.  

[Updawg 2295]

They still do that there?

[NeverMarryAStripper 21999]

That's because nobody in New Jersey is smart enough to pump their own gas

[Deej 77005]

Yet they all keep moving here .

[NeverMarryAStripper 21999]

What better way to destroy a place you hate than be an asshole and move there

Of course Alaska looks small, it’s cold up there. Shrinkage.

Alaskans have a Mercator projection complex

Pretty sure Colorado hates Texans more than New Mexico does just for the asshole Texans on the ski slopes.  In my experience anyway.  

[MillerEP 30501]

They hate us, 'cause they ain't us. It's hard to be the King, everybody is going to be taking shots.

They have music?  What is it? Whale bone flutes and the wailing of the lonely?

[bad_teammate 13226]

I'm just upset we're not #1.

[Al_4_ISU 12516]

We lead the country in hating Nebraska.  That's a god damn badge of pride right there.  It's also quite accurate.

Personally, I have a pretty strong hatred for Minnesota too, but it's more of a hatred of Minnesotans.  Minnesota itself is alright with me.  I think most of Iowa doesn't even really think about Minnesota though, as the state's population centers are mostly 2-3 hours south of the border.

Jewel and Portugal. The Man. Of course both escaped Alaska first. Dunno of any others from there.

[ABSR 5327]

I don't know about the rest of you assholes, but I am willing to put in the time to get us back to number 1 where we belong!
