I hate so say it, but you should grab Michigan and Wisconsin. Much like a girl I used to know: We can fix her, and she has huge lakes that I find appealing. Or something like that.

and then Illinois, or at least Chicago

[–] Jeremyward@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Huge, COLD, lakes mind you.

Isn't Wisconsin like a cold version of Alabama?

[–] westyvw@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, it sucks. But Look at that map. Those lakes are fairly important. Well either that or do a Robert Evans plan and just nuke them.

Bump for nuking the so called "Great" lakes

C'mon now, the last thing Cleveland and Buffalo need is radioactive lake effect snow

Thus creating The Great Concavity

They know what they did.

No, I’m living there now, and the city I’m in feels like a wannabe California (aka liberal, techy, high housing costs, etc)

Wisconsin has three major cities with VERY different personalities. One of them is very Portland/silicon valley (in its own Midwest-y way), one is borderline detroit-y, the other is an overgrown suburbia.

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yes, a city in Wisconsin.

Wississippi

Only state to have (I think) four presidential elections decided by less than 1%.

The states motto is "Forward" and it used to be one of the most progressive states, but it was also the testing ground for the Koch bros media network, that plus the gerrymandering from 2010 really set us back.

What the fuck did you just say?! Are you suggesting that we are inbred? Alabama! Fuck you!
