The Guardian ^ | 10/16/2020

Ask Larry Cuffe why, after decades of voting for Democrats, he voted for Donald Trump four years ago, and he’ll talk about his distrust of Hillary Clinton and the need to get northern Minnesota’s mines back to work.

Ask the former police officer why he’s sticking with Trump in 2020 and the list is very much longer.

“The Democratic party left us. Even in the past four years it’s changed so much. Supporting people who riot? Defunding the police? That’s crazy. I think a lot of us up here are Democrats in Republican clothing now,” he said.

“We are sitting on a half a trillion dollars’ worth of copper and nickel,” said Zupancich. “We import all our nickel whereas we could provide 90% of the world’s nickel and the state would really benefit. The mining taxes pay for our schools for the entire state.”

'The Democratic party left us': how rural Minnesota is making the switch to Trump

The Democrat Party have left America and Americans, not just rural Minnesota. Some locations are just having trouble figuring it out. Welcome the party with the rest of us.

Sorry. There are enough Democrats in 'R' jerseys in the Republican Party as it is.

Democrats didn’t “leave” you. They were never with you. It took this long for that to sink into their thick skulls?!

There is much more to all this, this is a year of discovery. We are discovering the hidden dishonesty, corruption, and lies that have been masked for years. We are finding out the Covid pandemic is a hoax, Demoncrats are out for only themselves, all the alphabet government agencies are filled with corruption, major banks are being fined heavily for manipulation and corruption, the MSM are liars, social media companies are dishonest and biased, the Libs are a despicable, hateful, immoral bunch...much more when you really sit down and think about all that has happened in 2020.

MN will go for Trump....

I hope and pray you are right.

We have to save this country. Somebody including oldsters and suburban moms have to get informed fast and wake up faster.

PLAN A: Harsh, blustery, name calling tweets or....

PLAN B:home invasions without fully funded police, BLM and Antifa surround your car or your family when you go shopping, and rioters with bullhorns spewing hate against the white race all night outside your home, children being taught to go homosexual and disdain God and husband and wife families by a BLM approved curriculum.

this is why the corrupt media and oligarch social media companies have turned up their propoganda. They are doing all they can to confuse and discourage, to break the Trump wave that is comping.

If President Trump wins Minnesota, he is easily reelected.
