8. The south is SO backwards!

People in the north are MUCH more progressive and inclusive.

Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Minnesota, Louisiana...all along the Gulf Coast they are so backwards!

(whaddaya mean it is Mississippi, and that Minnesota is a northern state? That's unpossible! Only the south has backwards people!)

You have my sympathies if that's the case.

17. Farmington is on the suburb/exurb border

And while Minnesota in general trends liberal, you still get enclaves of conservative "enlightenment" here and there once you get away from major population centers like Minneapolis/St. Paul, St. Cloud, Duluth, Rochester, etc.
