The Farmer-Labor Party was big in Wisconsin and Minnesota. This was the bedrock liberal party of those two states. It's influence resonates even now though neither of those two states will ever be as loony lib as a coastal state like California or Massachusetts. The only reason there are a lot of Hmong in those two states is that liberal churches sponsored them with the taxpayers eventually picking up the tab for their welfare, rent, food stamps, job training, education and other social programs. Yes, Hmong do work but there is inordinate exploitation of the social welfare state by these Asian hillbillies.
Humphrey would not even qualify as a moderate democrat by today's standards. He was actively PRO gun! And a throughly honorable man. Yikes..
