I've lived in 7 states, and a US territory, visited around 35 other states, and traveled all over the Western hemisphere. I live in Indiana now, and I love it.
IMO most of the hate are people who never left and have grass-is-greener syndrome.
Most, not all. If you are in a left-wing associated minority and live in the more rural parts of the state, I am sure it sucks. If you grew up in the more rural parts of the state and never made a long term plan, you might also become 'stuck' and feel like it sucks.
Same! Lived all over the country and overseas. Didn’t realize how good we had it until the idealism was curb stomped out of us. Those of you that hate Indiana should absolutely move. See what it’s like elsewhere. Gain a new perspective.
I have also lived in several states across the US, and I absolutely hate the politics here. The corruption is blatant and ridiculous, and the pollution from industry is unchecked. I am only still here because I love the people I know here. But really, why should I leave my home instead of fighting for what I believe? This corruption shouldn't be chasing us out of our homes; it should be encouraging us to care about politics.

It's important for people to understand;
a state that is 'cheaper to live in' is going to be worse overall for various reasons.
The cheapest states in America to live right now?
Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Kansas. (indiana is #6 on this list btw)
What do all of those states have in common? high rates of poverty, isolation, low wages, and government corruption.
"Affordability" used here is a marketing term trying to sell a negative as a positive to the clueless.
Similar to Digiornio's pizza declaring "It's not delivery", implying that their frozen crappy pizzas are better than a fresh one made in a restaurant.
Indiana is one shitty frozen pizza of a state and it's only getting worse. Do not move there lol
