Minneapolis did not happen overnight.

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?

Every city which the Democrats touch turns into an insolvent, drug riddled, violent, and homeless plagued s***hole.

Notwithstanding the growth in revenues generated by these taxes, the government of Minneapolis has been incapable of balancing its budget.

Meguesses that most of the revenue growth went to increases in salaries, benefits and pensions of Minnedishu government "workers".

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 used to travel often to Minneapolis on businesses in the 80s and 90s, and I was astounded at the beauty of many of the people. I didn't realize the full extent of the Scandinavian ancestry of the population of Minnesota. They were some of the handsomest men and women I had come across, and generally nice people.

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.

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.

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).

Mike FReeman , Hennepin County Atorney, is the son of the first DFL governor of Minnesota, Orville Freeman. Its been all downhill since.

Quite frankly, I tend to be insulted by the assumption that Minneapolis is an "American" city or that Minnesota is an "American' state...

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.

F’em
