How did they form? What are their specific traits? Stereotypes (even untrue, if marked as such)?
If cultural differences coincide with geography, please mention in, too.

In the questions about weird things people from different continents do somebody pointed out, that Europeans have little knowledge of this, so please fix my ignorance.

I couldn’t resist… But Wikipedia should have tons of info on exactly this.

You know, you're never going to change that map if you tell everyone living in one of those red states that their home is part of "dumbfuckistan."

If they stop making dumb fuck choices, they can rejoin the rest of the USA. See Georgia

I currently live here. I’m losing hope.

About 40% of Wisconsin is trying its damnedest to join Dumbfuckistan. Glad we have that blanket of reason surrounding us and giving us hope.

About 40% of all of those blue states are doing the same. It's only more evident in Wisconsin because of our gerrymandering and re-electing Russian Ron.
