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.

Now mental illness is a resume enhancement credential in the Party of Satan. A felony conviction is no longer the only credential to build “street cred” among DemonRats. Is Minneapolis too far gone to become genuinely American again?

Gads, why do all city governments seem to be filling up with “transgenders”?

It amazes me that in a nation with “systemic racism”, how in the world can two black transgenders get elected?

An aside. One of the co-founders of BlackLivesMatter is also a queer activist and a Marxist. They have several paragraphs about gays, trans, etc. on their website.

The founders debated who should be allowed to vote. A strong case was made that voting rights should be limited to land owners only. The argument was that land owners truly have the interests of the country in mind. This argument lost out. Big mistake...

“It just breaks my heart to think it’s over.”

But that’s how life works as proven by history over and over again.

Our culture is imploding. Venezuela did it in short order. So did Rhodesia several decades ago. Detroit is an example of where Minneapolis is headed along with other major blue cities.

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

I have other names for the state. Minnestoopid is one. I have never seen such arrested development and willful mental retardation before I live in that dump for ten years. I have other names which I won’t give here, JimRob would ban me.

So 0.8% of blacks identify as transgender. So blacks make up 12.6% of US population and when you take 0.8% of that......is such a small number, yet there a two on the 15 Milwaukee City Council members are blacks who identify as transgender. Or that is 13.3% of the City Council! Talk about over representation!

Disclaimer...... they can elect anyone they want. And they don’t have to call the cops for any reason, because I’m sure the cops are perfectly ok with that.

Biggest problem with both those issues ...... Eventually the policies that the trans folks support/push on folks and the coming crime wave will force even the most “liberal/radical/progressive” to start thinking about their current address. They’ll never admit to their city friends but they’ll start looking to move out to the ‘burbs. They’ll eventually tell their friends that they want more room or some other BS. When that happens they initiate a tsunami of their BS and destroy the next place. And they re incapable of acknowledging that their arrogance, self righteousness, and virtue signaling are what caused the problem in the first place.

” 250 million Americans should go to DC.”

Unfortunately , around 249 million won’t.

“I could see that western civilization was in decline, but I didn’t think it would die this fast.
It just breaks my heart to think it’s over.”

I’m with you on that...it happened almost overnight.

The 2020 could be the final nail in the coffin.
