This is so heartbreaking and so true. My husband and I moved to Iowa in 1997 for a job for me. Then the state was known for excellent public education, and a decade later it went for Obama. We have lived here for a quarter century, and this is our home. But now that I'm retired and the state has turned into the Florida of the North, we are looking to move, and indeed, MN and IL are our candidates.
I love this so much I am going to have my husband change ours in NYC to the same. And I can't ever give up on Iowa - it's my home - thanks for reading!

It is heartbreaking - I mourn Iowa about once a day - thank you for sharing your experience.
We live in Iowa City and our neighbors’ WiFi is Kim-Reynolds-is-shit
Thought you’d appreciate that.
Thanks for not giving up on this beautiful state.
