Is Idaho 25% dumbasses? I've never been
Higher percent then that considering how OBGYN's are running from the state like its on fire due to post Roe stuff they've been doing.
Good point.
I'll give the western Midwest states a pass but the really confusing part here is how anyone in Minnesota/Wisconsin/Illinois/Indiana/Iowa/Ohio can think they aren't in the Midwest...
For Ohio, it's important to remember that the southeast 1/3 of the state is Appalachian foothills. As for the other state, I have no fucking clue
Ohioian here. Its the name. Mid....west. We aren't in the middle of the country, and we're not west. If anything, Maine to Indiana should be called the "North East".
The mid-west should be South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado should be the "Mid-west".
This area might have been the mid-west in the early 1800s, but we gained a crapload of states since then!
I'm from Idaho. So the first answer is, yes a lot of people there are. School is meant to hit legal requirements sorta while training kids to take over the farming business from their parents. Second answer is south Idaho is basically flat deserty farmland with lots of wind, cattle, and small farming towns. It can feel very Midwest in that sense even if it is pretty far from the official Midwest border
I suppose that's a fair way to look at it if you're considering the "functional" definition of Midwest (farming-based flyover states) instead of the geographic location
More than that. Another 25% just happened to get this answer right through random chance.
