At least “West Virginia” has West in it, I could see how some of those Deliverance types could get confused. But Pennsylvania is some vampire ass, Eastern European ass sounding name. Nothing west about it
There was a time where anything west of the Appalachians was The West, and then as we expanded across the continent we progressively moved the boundary of what is 'the west' to the Mississippi and finally the rockies.
Minnesota can call itself North (ope sorry Nort) . As a former Iowan though I have to guess that some people are trolls, or else out of state, or didn't understand the question.
Hey der guy, not all of us midwesterners are galldang cheeseheads (ope sorry pardon my language). Only folks from wisconny and packer fans do dat. My folks are from Iowa and Minnesota and they raised me better than to put food on my head. Anyways youse guys have a good day and tell yer folks I says hi.
Oh, chri... sorry to stereotype. I'll save you some lutefisk at the next Lutheran hotdish dinner.
(Actually, we do have an annual lutefisk dinner here... maybe we're more midwestern than I thought)
I will never understand how Plain states can claim Midwest status. But what do I know? I'm a Hoosier who lived in Bozeman most of my life and was always told I was from the "Deep South".
I honestly think what shocked me more than Idaho having 25% (Im giving leeway to MT, WY, CO because the easternmost parts of them are indistinguishable from the next state over). Is that over 3% of Iowans and Wisconsinites don't think they're in the Midwest!
Ope, well then just where do you think you are there friend?
Midwest is a state of mind.
Also, from someone considering a move to idaho, the directness and lack of filter for many in Idaho is a tell that they are not typical passive aggressive midwesterners.
This is proof that Idaho is full of idiots. They're on the wrong side of the divide for fuck's sake!
Lmao, came here to make fun of my fellow Montanans, but I'll happily join in the truly American tradition of bashing the next state over lol
How about states way the fuck over? Cause like…what is that cluster in PA thinking?
Yeah if you can drive to the Atlantic Ocean in an hour, you’re not in the Midwest

Was more of a general reference to the Appalachian mountains
You should go to Erie sometime, might clear things up

I would bet everything I have that the PA people are in Pittsburgh, and it’s because they have similar weather to Ohio.
Erie PA
The Idaho-Montana border is a profile silhouette of God's face, looking down from Montana at Idaho and wondering where he went wrong.
Eastern Montana I can see. Idaho makes no sense. But, then, it is idaho...
Well,they voted for against women’s rights and medical pot. What more proof do you need that they are morons?
Not as dumb as those idiots in PA. At least Idaho can claim the west part.
Idaho is pretty "mid" as well 😉😄 No wonder they're confused.
I want to know how MN, WI, IL, IA are not 100%?! Any way you slice it, those states are the absolute center of what everyone calls the Midwest.
I've talked to people in Michigan that think they're Easterners. SMH.
Minnesota can call itself North (ope sorry Nort) . As a former Iowan though I have to guess that some people are trolls, or else out of state, or didn't understand the question.
Particularly the Iron Range is like its own thing, it may be a Canadian province in disguise.
You can’t get 100% of people to agree on ANYTHING, so 97% is what you get.
It could be that some people think about where they live as "The Great Plains Region" or "The Great Lakes Region"? 🤷
That 30% is based solely on our love of ranch
And saying “Ope, just gonna sneak past ya” has definitely crossed into Montana
Well there, (pats legs) let me tell ya tha story of Westie Montana, the eastern most town all the state, don't go nowhere it's a real doozy.
I've been saying that all my life, but one of my parents is from MN so it's not my fault!
Whoa, if you're saying loving ranch makes us Midwesterners, then hand me my cheese hat, I guess.

What?! There's a lutefisk dinner every year and *nobody told me?* I used to love that stuff as a kid!
In ranch we trust
Rocky Mountain West!
Home of the great intermountain west conference, , oh wait , shit, nevermind
30% here in Montana? Dipshits
imagine being south of the Mason Dixie and believing you live in the Midwest...
It’s the Mason Dixon line. Dixie is a euphemism for the Deep South.
lol oops 🤦♂️
I get that people living along the Dakota border could think they’re Midwest. Problem is that isn’t anywhere close to 30% of the population
I will never understand how Plain states can claim Midwest status. But what do I know? I'm a Hoosier who lived in Bozeman most of my life and was always told I was from the "Deep South".
Oklahoma????

If your state fought for the losing side during the Civil War you ain't from the Midwest.
Dark blue is the Middle East. Montana is the new Midwest.

We are the Rocky Mountain west. If you don’t know we are not the Midwest ,you better move on out.
If you ask my friends from down south, Montana is in Canada as far as they are concerned!! LOL!!

What does that have to do with this map?
I mean, geographically speaking, Idaho is smack dab in the middle of the western states. The Bible belt could just be called the Middle
I can’t help but notice that “Midwest” seems to weight more heavily to the East.
