The Top 10 most “Nicest” states are Republican.

“ Agreeableness is a personality trait manifesting itself in individual behavioural characteristics that are perceived as kind, sympathetic, cooperative, warm, and considerate” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agreeableness

…..

“In the United States, people in the West, Midwest, and South tend to have higher average scores on agreeableness than people living in other regions.[49] According to researchers, the top ten most agreeable states are North Dakota, Minnesota, Mississippi, Utah, Wisconsin, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Nebraska”

Top 10 states by “Agreeableness”.

1. North Dakota — Republican, overwhelmingly so.
2. Minnesota — Republican/Democratic Farmer Labour Party. DFL has big presence in Minnesota, but Republican control both the Senate and House of Representatives
3. Mississippi — Republican
4. Utah — Republican, overwhelmingly so.
5. Wisconsin — Republican, birth state of the Republican party, famously left Democrats to vote for Trump in 2016.
6. Tennessee — Republican, overwhelmingly.
7. North Carolina — Republican. 9 of last 10 presidential elections, only Republican who lost here was John McCain
8. Georgia — Republican
9. Oklahoma — Republican, overwhelmingly.
10. Nebraska — Republican, overwhelmingly.

So, other than Minnesota (kind of), every. single. one of the top 10 “kind, considerate, warm, cooperative, sympathetic” U.S States votes Republican. Kind of an interesting correlation. Maybe Democrats idea of themselves as the “considerate” ones is more based on a theoretical idea of the term?

New York, by the way, the notoriously “least friendly place on Earth”, has been a Democrat state for the past 30 years…
