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.

I think it is at the most local level that radicals, freaks, etc. can get elected. It simply doesn’t take that man determined ideologues to win a local election where most people do not vote. We need to organize in this way!

My advice to Christians in these cities, get out while you can. God’s judgment has come. They are imploding because of sin...

Isaiah 24: 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. 8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. 10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

The people want freaks, the people get freaks, but they won’t like freaks.

I’m reminded of the NYC bar scene in Crocodile Dundee where he prods for confirmation. They’ll be blacklisting that movie before long.

The mentally-challenged DIM/LIB/leftists are electing the mentally ill and perverts in their effort to reach a society of chaos. Their idiotic belief is that some sort of leftist utopia will arise from that chaos. More likely, there will be a very “difficult” reckoning for these leftist losers. I laugh at their future.

The bothersome part is people are voting for their own destruction.

This is what democracy looks like.

Especially when the Democrats cheat.
