Your new overlords have spoken, Minnesota. Voting for the Left was a swell idea, wasn’t it?

Hey, after the French Revolution, it was considered an act of treason punishable by death for flying the Bourbon flag. Why should it be any different after Minnesota’s Woke revolution?

...and I thought trump was the dictator.

They rammed this new flag down everybodys throat and everybody hates it.
The old flag is becoming the rebel flag of the resistance to the tyrany.

Minnesotans need to sue the state for forcing them to fly the Somalia Pirate Flag.

Will the people of Minnesota ever ruse up and vote these people out of office?

Instead of a star, they should have put a tampon and some fairy dust on their new somali flag.

So the cities that don’t fly the new Somali flag will be punished.

Once you vote yourself in, you cannot vote yourself out.

Somali flag? Au contraire, mon ami Confederate.

Waltz and his co-conspirators are trying to resurrect the old Democrat Confederacy, it appears to me.
