Chicago is about 3 times the size of the Twin Cities and is generally more well known and payed attention to. The Twin Cities mostly get ignored by the rest of the country, unless something like the murder of George Floyd happens, so that doesn’t move the needle against Minnesota. The only people who really hate them are people in rural Minnesota, but most of them have a lot of state pride so still have a favorable view of Minnesota.
People like the outer banks and It’s Always Sunny. Midwesterners also HATE Chicago/Illinois since that’s the biggest city in the area.
My biggest ahock is that Texas polls so high. Most people who don’t live there absolutely despise Texas in my experience.
What about the Twin Cities? They’re also a major center, and in a “more” midwestern area in some sense, although Chicago is probably bigger.
