(46,317 posts)Mostly here in Sheboygan county, or Sheboygan itself.
I've visited other states, never had any real gripes about the people.
Including Texas.
Now yes, Wisconsin does have one of the most corrupt political parties, our state GOP.
Texas is bad too.
Michigan is awful.
But we Cheeseheads love to joke about other states, Texas being the state "God made with a hangover."
(Saw this in san Antonio.)
The comedian Gallagher put on a flannel hat with ear flaps, and called it "Michigan."
Florida Man is becoming legendary on the Internet.
And we crack jokes about what it's like here in Wisconsin.
The Packers are sacred.
We go "down by da lake and cook up some brats."
Our state bird is the mosquito.
Even Sheboygan itself has become the target of some jokes, in a cartoon kids' show, a guy has to laugh to get out of a problem, so he says, "Sheboygan!" and cracks up laughing.
So I don't bash areas or states.
I do bash politicians, or those who elect or re-elect them.
