state pride
Hometown loyalty feeling
State pride is a feeling of satisfaction, loyalty, and attachment to the U.S. state where one lives or was raised.
It manifests in displays of state flags, bumper stickers, and fierce defense of local customs, food, or sports teams.
Texans are known for their intense state pride.
The sentiment runs deeper in some states than others, often correlating with distinctive regional identity, history, or perceived rivalry with neighboring states.
