    Without even looking, lemme guess on which states.

    Are they the shit holes with low education rates and high rates of rampant stupidity who suckle the teat of all the blue states paying for them but then complain about it?

          IDK which states either. But I'd venture a guess, that sorting states by percentage of MAGA voters, would have the 8 states in the top 10.

            One of the states is Florida, which is ranked #1 in the U.S. for higher education.

            Louisiana and Tennessee I expect it from... But Desantis has done a number on Florida.

              I didn’t find a complete list from my scanning of the article, which is disappointing because I could really use some confirmation that my state isn’t on there

                Who is ranking Florida #1 for higher education? Even before DeSantis, I only heard of Florida schools being part schools.

                  A lot of it is tied to "nice" weather and lower tuition costs. But the University of Central Florida is one of, if not the largest University in the U.S. and focused on engineering and computer science. Embry Riddle is the largest Aerospace/Aeronautical school in the world I believe. Florida State University and the University of Florida are likely where the party school stigma stems from, but there are 77 accredited Universities in Florida.

                  The tuition I'm sure effects it a lot:

                    Yeah, I guess that's an issue with trying to aggregate college quality at the state level. Both your list and US News & World Report have Utah and Georgia surprisingly high on their lists.

                    If you actually just look at top schools you'll see New York, California, North Carolina, Pennsylvania are listed a lot.

                    Not bashing Florida, just not where people typically think of elite colleges/universities. That being said education is such a personal thing that the best school for someone is not necessarily the best "ranked" school.

                      No, bash away lol. When a states governor commandeers money from the populous and doesn't let the legislature know and spends chunks of it on advertising to manipulate public opinion and get them to vote one way or another they should be hated on.

                      Also that "nice" weather is usually a giant steam room at 5:20pm every summer day because there was a giant storm that flew through and rained from 5:10-5:15pm while the sun somehow never even went behind the clouds so it's hotter then hell and you're wet and sticky. It's likely half the reason you can still legally ride motorcycles there without a helmet because it's absolutely miserable to have moist cushions forcing your sweat and dirt back into your pores. It's like putting slimy bologna on your cheeks holding it there and trying to call it a joy ride. So you skip the helmet, get caught in a giant downpour flying down the highway with rain stabbing you in the face like needles for fun.

                      At least they've got their swamp puppies to keep them company because their dog already got eaten by the swamp puppy when you tried to take them fishing.

                        Likely Oklahoma too - current GOP platform wants to outlaw 5G.

                            K-12 schools and universities in a state can also be very different in terms of quality.
