Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lunatics, Turning Red This Year? › American Greatness
Arthur Schaper
From the George Floyd riots to anti-ICE insurrections, what is happening in Minnesota? Why are leftist hordes concentrating their efforts to attack and destroy ICE in this state, as opposed to California or New York?
Minnesota has always been an odd, progressive political animal, even a little bit loony (the common loon is the state bird, by the way). Leftist politics has been at home there longer than most realize.
At the outset, Minnesota welcomed a large swath of Scandinavian and German immigrants, and they brought socialist ideas with them. In fact, most of those settlers were radicals seeking to live out their views, having faced persecution in their home countries. They came to America to establish and roll out their collectivist programs and policies, incorporating them into the state long before socialism gained traction with younger voters today.
This collectivist core shaped Minnesota’s political party structure. The Democratic Party holds a lot of sway in the state, but it’s really the Democratic Farm and Labor Party. A more progressive moniker, this liberal movement reflects the more socialist-leaning political program that has been pervasive.
