It's not so much of a "flyover" state dynamic -- it's more rural vs urban.
States like OH and KY have more rural space, which tends to lean conservative, which increases the chances of hearing about extreme-right nonsense.
I would imagine the opposite is true in states with more urban space and the nonsense of the extreme left.
Urban areas in OH and KY are similar in terms of cultural offerings and advanced technology of most cities. Or at least they are in Columbus....

- NoahTheDuke 9y agoYep. Cincinnati is just a smaller version of most every other major metropolitan area I've ever visited, and the small visits I've made to surrounding big cities (Louisville, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Des Moines, Nashville, etc) has proven the same.
- ellius 9y agoYep. Did school in Boston for several years, almost exactly the same as my life in Cincinnati and Columbus except more expensive. There are definitely pros and cons to any decision about where to live, but your life in most places is always going to be “work, go home, pay for stuff, spend time doing fun stuff with friends when possible.” The only valid exception is if you’re working in a field and position where you truly need to be exposed to the absolute highest levels of industry, e.g. NYC for finance, D.C. for law and politics, SV for tech. But the people who are truly operating at the level where that matters are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a %, and if Warren Buffet can work from Nebraska I assume that’s true even for many people who are at that level.
