If this succeeds, I would look for the western counties of The Peoples Republic of Minnesota to join the Dakotas and leave the Minneapolis metro area to plunge into a third world dung heap.
Having lived in Minnesota before.....Good idea but the Iron Range is going to have to flip first. It shows signs of flipping like a lot of other working class areas have done throughout the country, but it hasn’t quite happened yet.
Once it does happen (and it will), it will be the Twin Cities (with maybe some lefties in Rochester) vs the rest of the state.
