Where are we considering “the Midwest” here? I ask because I grew up in northern Illinois, which is a much different Midwest from Kansas or Missouri.

EDIT: I originally typed Kentucky when my brain wanted to type Kansas

Born and raised Michigander checking in. There's a LOT of cultural variation in the Midwest that people gloss over. You can find extremely liberal population centers all around the region. Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Madison, Lansing, Milwaukee, etc

Minnesotan here. No incest signs. Lots of drunk driving signs. And, the occasional meth signs down in the SW of the state.

That's just urban vs. rural.

Kentucky and East of the Mississippi usually isn't considered Midwest anyway

[-] tisjoefoo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It absolutely is… Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana—that’s all pretty quintessential Midwest.

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Great lakes, I think you mean.

[-] tisjoefoo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think you mean the Great Lakes region is in the Midwest.

[-] technicalogical@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's the Midwest, I'm not sure what West of the Mississippi is though. The plains?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 0 points 1 year ago

Wisconsin is Midwest.... that's west of the Mississippi

Indiana and Ohio are rust belt

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago
