...the previous poster's state/place/etc.?

This can be random stereotypes, a certain cliché or simply flawed #analysis. Think of something like "libertarian state" or so.

"Montana? Its just grizzly bears, right?"

P.S. Everyone in Montana is a tank-owning marijuana smoking Gary Johnson voter and you can't change that

That it's still a Democratic state at heart. I've also seen people equating it with WV, even though there are a lot of differences between the two states.

Oh, and of course "Arkansas became a GOP stronghold because of/after the Civil Rights Act, amirite?!1".

That it's flat-as-a-pancake corn country.

EDIT: For Virginia: Tie--that it's "just as southern as Mississippi" and that it's "not really a Southern state any more".
