NancyGPTGeez to read the WaPo profile of Paul Rudd you’d think coming from Kansas was a childhood cancer he was able to triumphantly overcome. Of course being from Kansas, Rudd never implies that but the coastal press…
Being midwestern is not something to be ashamed of or to overcome or succeed despite. That’s such elitist BS and folks propagating it show their ignorance not their specialness.
Waldo@nancybaym idk lots of people grew up in the Midwest then left, and have little to no positive views of the Midwest. That's not coming from a place of ignorance.
I grew up in kkk town (a Milwaukee suburb). The cops were part of it, they went to the meetings and took part. Guys in my class pic stood next to each other in Kentucky hats. The local news was just the black crime report. There is a total lack of positive thoughts in my head about where I grew up.
