What is it about the American Midwest that produced a conservative culture that emphasizes personal responsibility, the nuclear family, and a strong work ethic?
>>1533969
If I knew I would get to work on destroying it
>>1533969
Lack of education.
>>1533969
The Midwest is where most of the more recent giant-family whacko-religious and Eastern European immigrants to the US of A went to. Big empty spaces mean that what communities are there are insular.
>>1533969
You mean RURAL midwest. Urban midwest is liberal as fuck.
>Chicago - liberal
>Detroit - liberal
>Cleveland - liberal
>St. Louis - liberal
>Minneapolis - liberal
>Columbus, Madison and Ann Arbor - tumblr tier turboliberal
The only really conservative major cities are Cincinnati and MAYBE Indianapolis.
>>1533969
That looks so comfy
>>1534022
Best be trolling, the midwest has some of the best graduation rates in the nation, alongside highest average IQs.
>>1534020
Strong work ethic?
Is there actually any evidence of that? Or is that that sort of 'humble bragging' that people sometimes do. The "oh gosh, we are just the MOST HUMBLE HARD WORKING FOLKS, EVER' Not like them big heeded coastal folks".
It's away from the more cultured and cosmopolitan urban centers excluding Chicago therefore the only culture is the same Calvinist, evangelical, and revivalist ideals that the first settlers brought with them.
>>1534129
Do you know where most of those settlers were from?
>>1534097
Wheres Milwaukee fall on the list?
>>1534136
Germany and Scandinavia
>>1534136
German? Although I find it hard to believe the entire U.S. is of German descent. Probably a bunch of poor sharecroppers lured in with cheap land offers.
>>1534143
Good to know. Thanks!
>>1534152
Gotta remember that the map traces ancestry geographically, and although German ancestry is most expansive, it is not most common as the locations it dominates are not relatively highly populated.
>>1534099
It is. It's going too look like that here in a couple months.
If the midwest is so great then why doesn't it produce anything except heavily subsidized corn?
>>1534209
And natural gas
Well, all the money, culture, and innovation comes from coastal cities. So, I guess those qualities are pretty shit. Or they don't exist, one or the other.
>>1534235
>insecure
Huh?
>>1534152
My family is from a bumfuck nowhere part of Wisconsin that is basically entirely made up of farmers of German descent. From what they tell me, Wisconsin is largely German, though I've never bothered to check the statistics on that before. That map seems about right from what they say.

When hicks get called out on being sisterfucking trailer trash, their first response is UMAD because they're mentally still twelve years old.

I'm honestly amazed how many imbeciles post on /his/. Midwest isn't Calvinist at all, it's mostly Catholic and Lutheran.
>>1534365
Irony.
>>1533969
Midwest is nothing special. Better question would be why is California so shit compared to the Midwest?
>>1533969

Sorry you don't, no need to sourgrape about it though, my dear 3rd worlder.
>>1534022
Oi oi
>>1534101
Very true, but this is very true of the upper midwest, not the lower midwest. And definitely not true of the depressing alcoholic cucks to our immediate east.

German ancestry is the most common nation wide irish are 2nd
>>1535084
He's right though that map doesn't account for density. LA county alone has more people than all of Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas combined.
>>1535095
I get that but it felt like he was saying German ancestry was not the most common population wise which it is
>>1535096
It is actually, but that map makes it look like every other American is German even though they're like 13% of the population or something.
>>1533969
Settling it.
>>1535054
different states have different high school graduation standards, this map is literally useless
>>1535030
chill out dude
>>1533969
Rural society set up. Cities, dense areas, ruin everything. They spoil human ethics. Too many people around that don't look like you, don't have the same culture as you, you slowly lose trust for those around you and it ruins your ability to work together in harmony as a society. You begin to see everyone as competition.

You're not a racist or something are you? Wait I think I answered the thread question, because those places breed racism, obviously.

Most of your whites are a horde of liberals, homos, cuckolds and nogunz.

Well, California is either the biggest or the second biggest single economic entity in the US.
>>1533969
All of their degenerates leave for New York or California.
>>1536768
This is actually a valid point

Incredibly liberal, but in poor black guy way rather than a Madison-style tumblr identity politics way.
