I’m from the Midwest, and we don’t mess around with this stuff. You can clown our weather or our obsession with ranch, but the second someone tries to claim or exclude a state from the Midwest? Gloves off.
The MiddleWest Review released a map showing which states consider themselves part of the Midwest, sparking a divisive online debate. Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri? Of course. But Idaho? 30% said yes. That’s stolen hot dish valor.
Now everyone’s drawing new borders, kicking out states, and trying to include others. But honestly? That’s the most Midwest thing ever. Passionately arguing, politely. However, if you have to ask if you’re part of it… you’re probably not.
