People like simple generalizations.

The south just has a different vibe to it.

Everything you noted is what I see around me to an extent, it just is different than Mississippi, Louisiana, even Florida.

Also, there are areas that you describe in pretty much every state, I mean california has districts electing Duncon Hunter and Devin Nunes.

Look, I use the walking dead/zombie reference myself, and they are absolutely lost, they hate the evil liberal more than they care about their own better interests.

They just are different than people in the south, our work ethic is better, we are not as half assed, the religion there is there, but does not define things as much day to day, it is just the tool to justify their animus. Down south, it is more a part of their routine and lives.
