“Not trying to be un-neighborly or anything like that, but why don’t you good folks take back your own state? Maybe team up with Michigan and Illinois conservatives and kick some @$$. “
Now there’s an idea! Carried to the extreme, all the productive members of society will have congregated in Texas and a few other states. Then it will be time to “recut the USA state boundaries and make it easier for those of like mind to live nearer to each other.
Those who encouraged immigration have lived to regret it.
Burnsville is overrun with them.
Yes, the Farmer Labor party were once a separate outfit before merging with the rats in 1944. It’s been the DFL ever since.
In next door North Dakota there was a similar phenomenon with the “Non-Partisan League” which went from a socialist RINO faction to merging with the democrats in 1956. They still use the name as well.
Prairie radicals, gotta love them.
I teased some RATs about that around a decade ago when they were screaming that Gore got more votes than Bush... 48%-47% or whatever it was. I pointed out "the people" had elected 49 GOP Senators, but only 43 RAT Senators, yet they controlled the Senate despite "the people" clearly electing more Republicans than Democrats to Senate seats. Of course the RATs in reality had 50 members of their caucus, but we had Independents caucusing with the RATs and Minnesota had explicitly elected two members of the DFL Party to the U.S. Senate, rather than elect a Democrat, etc.
Libs had no clue what I was talking about, though.
Minnesota’s socialists are smarter than history’s socialists.
They have figured out how to tax their way to prosperity.
