well there ya go - there's your answer. you see leftist urbanite gen x and assume we're all that way check out picrel this is a cultural regional map of the us people forget - regions of the us went to war with each other during the english civil war. kentucky almost went to war with west virginia as late as the 1880's these animosities go deep and they are very old - they predate the us itself. appalachian highlanders despise yankees and tidewater lords of virginia both...  yankees sneer and look down on appalachians and southerners. the tidewater area is sniffy and stuck up with their self-anointed superiority this whole rivalry goes back at least 450 years... to the age when the english persecuted the scots and irish - they brought all that baggage with them.
