Earlier this year a colleague tried to convince me that Utah (where we both live) is in the midwest. I love that even this apocryphal map would not absolve him
at first i was all well obviously, then i gave a little thought to the Pennsylvanians up against the Ohio border, and then wondered. do they identify as being mid-atlantic? probably not. much closer to Akron than Allentown or Philly. so I bet all the MW responses were far western PA
South Carolina is the home of the Southern Baptist Convention and thus, the Mecca of racist shitbags the country over. They're not being exported, they're going home.
They're explicitly coming to Charlestion, a notoriously liberal city away from the Convention. Try again. If the objective is to run away from liberalism, they're self sabotaging and handing the country to Democrats.
Climate and its considered still conservative enough to cosset folks like my aging gun-loving aunt and uncle who are planning to head there from Illinois as soon as possible.
Funnily enough if these migration patterns keep up they are going to keep losing elections by flooding the same three or four states with red voters because you know, land doesn't vote
I have a rather narrow opinion of what is the Midwest. It's bounded by the Appalachians on the East, the Great Plains on the West, the Ohio and Missouri Rivers to the South, and Canada to the North.
If you're in the Great Plains, you aren't in the Midwest. You're in the Great Plains, its own region
Yeah, I grew up on the East Coast and Western PA def has a very different culture. Is it midwest? Probably not, but I can see how people out that way might have a kind of in-between perspective about it.
The midwest consists of the dakotas, nebraska, kansas, the state of ohio (regrettably), minisoda, wissshhcccooonsin, illinoy, indiana, the lp (yoopers are canadian, sorry not sorry), kcmo, and Caitlin Clark Country. Missourah doesn't exist and none of those other states are midwest

But Philly is solidly East Coast.
Colorado is a Western state.
California is a western coastal state
