I’m from Wisconsin, family from Michigan as well and traveled there a lot. Went to college in Iowa and dated girls in college who all were from Illinois. Now i live in Minnesota.
One thing i find odd is that Minnesotans don’t do a lot of the Midwest stuff. No midwest goodbyes, no chatting up strangers as if they were your BFF, doing all the obligation events we never want to do but say “o yah we should get together”, etc. The whole Minnesota Nice, aka being passive aggressive, isn’t really that Midwest. Of all the Midwest I’ve lived in, the highest ranking one is definitely the least Midwest in my eyes.

MNs seem like they have a Canadian influence. Based on a week I spent in Rochester and the movie Fargo, lol.
If I read it right, those were pole results from people in those states. Have to go read it again/
Yes, I know. I’m just saying Minnesota “Midwest” is not the same as the rest of the Midwest most of the rest of the Midwest is very similar.
