New Hampshire took the top spot in the rankings from WalletHub for the most patriotic state in America.

According to WalletHub, the rankings were determined by “data set ranges from share of enlisted military population to share of adults who voted in the 2016 presidential election to AmeriCorps volunteers per capita.” (SLIDESHOW: These Women On Instagram Hate Wearing Clothes)

The top 10 are below:

  1. New Hampshire
  2. Wyoming
  3. Vermont
  4. Utah
  5. Idaho
  6. Wisconsin
  7. Alaska
  8. South Carolina
  9. Missouri
  10. Minnesota

The bottom of the list was taken by New Jersey, New York and California.

Is anybody really surprised by this list? Of course the most patriotic states are places like New Hampshire, Wyoming, Idaho, Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Carolina. (SLIDESHOW: 142 Times Josephine Skriver Barely Wore Anything)

I’ve traveled most of the country, have visited a lot of the places in the top 10 and the people there are awesome. As somebody who grew up in Wisconsin, I honestly think we should be even higher than six. We’re talking about a state that is literally all about freedom.

We have too many guns to count, we fly the flag high, we drink too much beer to even calculate and we love this country. It’s the exact same for most of those other states in the top 10.

As for the states at the bottom of the list, again, I don’t think anybody is surprised. California, a place I’ve unfortunately been to multiple times, absolutely sucks.

I’m shocked New Jersey beat it out. It’s hard to know if you’re in America or in the Soviet Union when visiting large parts of the state. It honestly sucks. I can say the exact same for New York.

Outside of Long Island, it’s an awful place that I have no urge to ever be around.

Shoutout to all the states leading the way and showing the rest of the country what freedom is all about. For the states at the bottom, shame on your for dragging this beautiful nation down.

While we drink our cold beers and load up our AR-15s, you can continue to emulate the Soviet Union to the best of your abilities. Something tells me we’re going to always be happier in the heartland.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
