The map didn't pull up too good on my phone but this study is pretty interesting. The map highlights where hate tweets are generated from. It's not surprising it follows population trends but still pretty cool to see to say the least.

Actually most of it is in the town about 30 min away. But when you click on "queer" a little bit of blue comes up. I'm kind of surprised it isn't more though.

Well it is... but that doesn't mean all racists/homophobes live in the south. Our country is full of racism which shouldn't surprise anyone.

Seriously, the definition of progressive is seeing what others have done, and one-upping them. We should be so red that they have to create a new color for colorado

Northwestern Minnesota and eastern North Dakota? There isn't enough people there to be red. Maybe everyone is complaining how cold it is.
