How Minnesota Went From Tom Sawyer to Huck Finn
Fifty years ago it was ‘the state that works.’ Now it’s become a microcosm of an America in crisis.

The article unintentionally blames diversity for Minnesota's problems. Diversity is toxic. It divides people into tribes, each with their own agenda. Diversity has made all our urban areas dangerous and unlivable.

The effects of “The Great Society”, smelly hippie dopers, and unrestricted immigration kicked in.

3 words to tell you what happened to Minnesota
Barack Hussein Obama
Mmm...mmm..mmm
His immigration policies and importing Syrian “refugees” from his personal wars are a direct reason Minnesota is as it is today.

I recall, when Somalis were being imported en mass into Minneapolis, a reason was given that Minneapolis was “too white”.

Minnesota is a red state ruled by Blue State thugs in a 55 mile by 70 mile rectangle centered on the Twin Cities.
They've owned Minnesota for decades.
It's why Minnesota always threatens to go red in presidential "elections" - but never does.

I recall first seeing those damned “Celebrate Diversity” bumper stickers showing up years back. My reaction then, as it is now, was that unity, and the shared experiences of our culture, should be “celebrated” (as they once were), not categorical differences. I’d call them fools, but their inspiration was sinister.

Actually, I think the answer is in three words:
Paul Wellsone's Funeral"What a complete, total, absolute sham," Vin Weber, a former House member from Minnesota and now an adviser to Coleman, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The Democratic party "clearly intends to exploit Wellstone's memory totally, completely, and shamelessly for political gain. To them, Wellstone's death, apparently, was just another campaign event."
This was the earliest, most visible sign that leftists - never a group that was for tradition or decorum in the first place - would weaponize EVERYTHING for political gain.
Minnesota became Ground Zero for that strategy, and the impact is now being crystallized.

Such a shame. Minneapolis in the 70’s truly felt like Mary Tyler Moore country, and Minnesota has amazing natural beauty and nature. Today, I don’t think I’d feel safe going unarmed.

That, and the government unions, particularly the education union, which owns St. Paul.
...and voter fraud.

“Minnesota is a red state ruled by Blue State thugs in a 55 mile by 70 mile rectangle centered on the Twin Cities.”
And I’m convinced more than ever that, like other so-called “blue” heartland states, Democrats are running things due to systemic election fraud in those metropolitan areas.

I’ve compiled a list of the great societies in history that celebrated and practiced diversity, at the end of this post.
