I live in Lake Country not Minneapolis.
Minneapolis should be it's own state, like the Vatican, and leave the rest of us alone ;)
Maybe they and cali -fornia will secede

Likewise in Colorado, Denver and the rest of the Front Range should be a separate state.
Actually that's true of much of the US. The larger cites are much different from the rural areas. Cities are more likely to be Democratically controlled. Rural is more likely to be Republican.
BTY I raised a family in southern Minnesota and now live in Durango Colorado.
You can throw in St Cloud along with the twin cities.

I recently had a customer call me to complain that there was "solid water" in the bottom of his freezer. It never occurred to me that he was trying to be politically sensitive.
In the last election I see that Virginia has joined the Peoples Democratic Republics of Oregon, California, Washington, Maryland, Mass., NY, Illinois, Colorado, and Minnesota. That is 10 States that have gone Socialist out of 50 states that's 20%. I failed to list Hawaii, those folks have never embraced freedom and the idea of a Constitutional Republic since the pineapple people deposed the Queen.

Minnesota is solidly Republican county by county it's just the big population centers kind of like other states.

A lot of states have that one big city that is nuts. The rest of the state is normal but their votes don’t count.
While NJ is at least majority Blue, it's all about where. For instance, Bergen and Passaic counties are usually blue, Sussex and Burlington counties (more rural) go the other way. Lots more of both exist- usually.
yea, all moroons that vote for the power driving to take away you rights. Who thinks like that? our elected officials are to hold up the bill of rights, but they tarnish it with the corrupted minds. and the lemmings that vote for them. shame...for shame

Don't forget Michigan. Pretty much blue because of Detroit area, Ann Arbor, Lansing, and Flint. Maybe more.
I did, and realized that after the post.
That makes 16/50=32%. Clearly, 1/3rd of the 50 States are Socialist. THAT is a FRIGHTENING trend...

Election results by county. People outside of the cities vote Republican.

What is it about 2/3 of states?
I was in Duluth last weekend. Same crazy, just subdued by the subzero temps

Sounds very close to the tipping point, as we 'tip' toward socialism.

Maybe I can move to my ancestral homeland.
Maybe we can swap them to Canada for Alberta and Saskatchewan.

As a former minnesodan: unfortunately a lot of those red areas on the map are devoid of people... with the massive populations of the metro area's it is difficult get our vote out... when this whole nation began we were an agricultural nation.... then the industrial revolution hit and that changed everything.. I'm not sure the founding fathers "measures" to counteract this, was sufficient...
If we can get the schools back we have a shot... but that is the "long game".. most of us won't be here to see the results...
still we need to adopt the lefts strategy... it obviously works....

It will be extremely hard to get our schools back. Those with the knowledge of what is wrong with the school system are dying off. I am not giving up, but it seems to be a losing game.

Any right leaning teacher would be held back by the system. Called a racist and a Nazi. Totally ostracized by their peers, and quickly find a different line of work.
In my opinion, VietNam was the cause, all the draft dodgers stayed in college and became teachers. Then they taught the next generation of teachers and professors. The VN era also taught kids it’s cool to protest the Government. Now they go to college looking for something to protest.
I had teachers who were combat veterans. My kids did not have any teachers who were veterans.

The only teachers that we had that were NOT veterans were women and way over half of them were married to vets.
