I lived in the Midwest too.
The Midwest voted to be left alone, especially for culture war issues.
The southwest voted to get rid of mexicans.
The Mid-Atlantic voted for culture war issues mostly.
The south voted to hurt people, just like they have in literally every election for 200 years. This is literally the region that fought a war for slavery, lost, and kept it anyway under a different name for 100 years, there ain't no shame in their game.
Look at the margins, the south voted trump by a crazy landslide.
The small town in the Midwest I lived in was beautiful in the 1980s, then in the 90s nafta kicked in and we were infested by southerners moving north for jobs, bringing their drugs and crime with them.
They're a plague, and they're spreading.
From Berlin to Warsaw in one tank.
