How does the DFL control the state? Because in Minnesota all the political power is concentrated in two counties, Hennepin and Ramsey, which are essentially the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, and this area is filled with self-loathing white liberals. Anyone who isn’t a self-loathing white liberal quickly realizes the core Twin Cities are a lost cause, especially if they have school-age children, and they move their families out to one of the outer ring suburbs, where their political power is diluted because they’re all in different counties.
How did Walz get elected? By having a lock on the vote in Hennepin and Ramsey counties, and then putting on an old Carharts jacket, borrowing a shotgun and a retriever, doing a few photo ops in cornfields and duck blinds, and then stumping around outstate, talking about “standing up for the little guy” and “fighting the banks and the rich people,” which are lines that have played well in the farm belt since the Great Depression.
Nasty people. Minnesota nice a—s.
