Minneapolis elects 2 black transgender City Council members

Minneapolis has elected two black transgender representatives to its City Council, adding to what advocacy groups have described as a banner election for transgender people in public office.

Andrea Jenkins easily won the race Tuesday night for an open seat in South Minneapolis, with roughly 73 percent of the vote. Jenkins, a 56-year-old poet and historian who transitioned in her 30s, spent years as a policy aide to two previous council members in the same ward.

Phillipe Cunningham’s victory took longer because of Minneapolis’ instant-runoff voting system. But by Wednesday afternoon, the city announced Cunningham — a 29-year old transgender man who had worked in the mayor’s office — had unseated the North Side seat’s longtime incumbent and current council president, Barb Johnson.

“Andrea” looks more like an “Andy”.

Which will pretty much translate to a predatory K-12 agenda

Too true.
OTOH, Philippe looks more like a Philippe. Some of these "transitions" are becoming indistinguishable from nature. I'm not paranoid but it's getting to the point you'd need two-point verification before going out on a date.

who knew that this could happen in MSP?

I continue to be amazed that a seemingly normal city (just been there to work with clients) had such radical politics. It seems to be giving Seattle a run for title of crazy politics

At a very early age, about 18 years old, maybe earlier (40 years ago), I could see that western civilization was in decline, but I didn’t think it would die this fast.

It just breaks my heart to think it’s over.

I’m shocked but not surprised. Since childhood, I’d always seen descent into perversion as a precursor of decline in all great civilizations; even the late judge Bork confirmed that this sequence of events is a historical phenomenon. As a Bible-believing Christian, I’ve been expecting something like this for decades precisely because the end-time collapse is prophesied along with a resurgence of “Sodom.”

Knowing it would happen doesn’t make it any less depressing to actually see it.

It’s definitely OVER . And I can now understand more than ever why married couples don’t want to procreate . Their kids - especially if white - would live in hell on earth .

And 95% of people are completely blind to it, and will be shocked as it crumbles into nothing. I haven’t been watching for 40 years, but agree with your assessment 100%.

I have a 16 yr old and an 8 yr old grandsons. I have no idea what they will have to do or fight or endure..in their lifetime. They will not know the life that was... i have told them they have to be different than the world.
My country has been confiscated ... we were too comfortable and evil never stops.. they got in our schools... and here we are.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer city. Apparently, no one in Minneapolis can spell “moral” or “decent” any more. They’ve hired Somali murderers for cops, a brain dead libtard for a mayor, a common criminal for a Congresscritter, and will now have at least 2 perverts on their city council. Is there something in the water there? What a hell pit!

I guess the idea of a “meritocracy” has had it’s day.

the preening lying Congress did this by helping
themselves and foreign countries over their Oath
and Americans.

America has been murdered by Congress.

250 million Americans should go to DC.

The republican side of congress were lazy for years and let the dems control.. they let the whole camel under the tent..
Trump came on board and some of them woke up. But years of gleaning.. skimming.. to fill their pockets.. they spent years taking care of uno... and the neglect of the nation is 2 generations.. lost.
