    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.

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

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

            um ah. The mississippi river is west of wisconsin and illinois. Its to the left of them on maps. So those state are east of the mississippi.
