Portrayal of the south as backwards was used as justification for the North invading and subjugating it and carpetbaggers later economically exploiting it. I would compare it less to "blood libel" propaganda and more to the way Afghanistan was portrayed as a terrorist-producing anti-woman Islamic State backwater. GAE gonna do what GAE do: the propaganda precedes the bloody profiteering.
And this is exactly the attitude you're seeing here directed at Florida: DC-centric shills, or whatever kind of New England degenerates they are, are reducing Floridians to bumpkins that beat up "trans kids" for sport.
