It will be an ongoing nightmare for a long time.
Is there a historic reason (or political reason) that MSP was so liberal? I know that Mondale was there - was this a carry over?
Meguesses that most of the revenue growth went to increases in salaries, benefits and pensions of Minnedishu government "workers".
Well...a former friend of mine was born and raised b there....she’s a flaming liberal in Seattle at age 74
This article is why I don’t feel bad for them. You reap what you sow, Minneapolis voter.
Same for seattle. Same for SF. We are watching Boise Idaho transform itself into another Minneapolis. There is still time to change that course Boise.....
It started as a farmer co-op. it was very democratic. fro6. the start. throw in a few liberal millionaires and a braod philanthropic group and you have the hot bed for people who are less than desirable to thrive. lots of lake front property in the city with A lot of karens there now. and it was very segregated . I went to an almlst all white h.s. and now its all black. no more hockey team.
Look up the progressive party and its history.
The left wing progressives have been in Minnesota for over a century. They disappear for awhile and reappear a couple of decades later.
I was back there several years later, and I felt like I had walked into Somalia (I've actually been there too) or East St. Louis instead of the Minneapolis I remembered.
The DFL
The Minnesota DFL has a rich history of electing strong, progressive leaders to public office. We work every day to build a better Minnesota for all Minnesotans.

Funny you mention Somalia. My buddy served in Somalia with the marine Corp and has always lamented how many somalis that area of the country was taking in. “They will regret this decision”.
He was there last year on business and told me that place is screwed. Sorry to be so blunt.
So it isnt this place anymore?

When they were dumping Somalis and such there years ago I figured there was already problems; here in NJ they’ve been trafficking Latinos in because so many areas chased out their employers and normals with high taxes. The permanent underclass from the Third World are prime candidates for dying areas in the US just to keep the lights on - and the government worker caste employed - even when the “replacement Americans” contribute nothing at all. A whole pseudo-economy is built up based on wealth transfers from working Americans to maintain these imported parasites as consumers - of both goods and government “services” (primarily the public education industry).
Scandinavian culture. Historically very leftist.
Mike FReeman , Hennepin County Atorney, is the son of the first DFL governor of Minnesota, Orville Freeman. Its been all downhill since.

First commie party
45-years under control of foreign-controlled communists and, now, CPUSA communists qualifies the state as a foreign entity...
Two, actually. St. Paul had over 160 structures labeled as damaged including several that were burned along the main street into the city (University) across from the soccer stadium.
Trump needs to allow the Governors and Mayors to deal with whatever they have created.
Send ZERO assistance
Let them destroy themselves and be ignorant and stupid and allow their manipulators to destroy them.
