COULD IT HAPPEN IN AMERICA?

Posted on 01/09/2026 1:40:15 AM PST by 7thson

Could Minnesota break away from the United States due to a violent overthrow of the state government?

About an hour ago I woke up from a restless sleep and while playing solitaire on my Kindle, a lot of strange thoughts raced through my brain-pan.

Thinking about what is happening in Minnesota, I started wondering -

- just how large and politically strong is the Somali presence in Minnesota?

- could the Somalis in Minnesota resort/revert to their tribal beliefs and conduct a coup of the Minnesota state government?

- if something like that did happen, what it be the spark that starts the next civil war in the nation, or would President Trump act swiftly to stomp that insurrection out?

- is Minnesota so far gone that citizens born and raised in Minnesota would idly stand by and watch a possible violent Somali uprising and not raise a finger to stop it? Remember - Minnesota was the only state to vote for Mondale when President Reagan swept the other 49 states. And yes, I do know that Mondale was from Minnesota.

- do Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey and/or Governor Walz even understand the U.S. Constitution?

- at what point in his life did Walz become a world-class douch bag?

- was he a snake-in-the-grass all his life, and how was he able to flourish in the Army National Guard without someone finding him out?

- as brilliant as the founding fathers were, could they ever envision any state in the United States taking in immigrants - illegal or legal - that refused to assimilate to become citizens?

I thought I would post these erratic thoughts and see what my fellow Freepers think.

Do you think Frey or Walz or anyone on the Left actually cares about the Constitution?

We are in a civil war—albeit a cold/cool one at this moment—and our enemy is batshit crazy.

Warning: even a batshit crazy enemy can be very dangerous. They can't win, but they can make sure that everyone loses by destroying everything they touch.

Ft Sumter did not work out well for South Carolina. But that does not mean that Minnesotans aren’t stupid enough to repeat that mistake.

Maybe they could join Quebec and Canada, we could take Alberta, call it a day?

JK. Minnesota is a good sized state that is a sea of Red Americans with islands of Blue. Those islands won’t survive long in a Rebellion.

We Minnesotans are just too tolerant.

Martial law. suspend both Senators and Congresscritters pending treason investigations, as well as State and. Municipal elected people. Everyone has to reregister to vote with proof of citizenship.

Unless they were “absorbed” by Canada, they’d be screwed - bigly - but it would never be allowed so we’ll never know.

Peaceful secession would be mutually beneficial to all parties. I am a Neo Copperhead.

As someone familiar with secession, I would advise that Minnesota do so..

There would be no problem in seceding, unless the Federal military invades.

“Ft Sumter did not work out well for South Carolina.”

Does the name Custer ring a bell?
