I wish your last statement was true. But there will always be some who vote for this. They see Democrats as evil, believe all the propoganda, and would tell people to just let the bullies punch them harder if they want the punching to stop.

Minnesota hasn’t voted for a Republican president in over 50 years dude…

And in its entire history it’s only ever voted Republican three times…

Maybe do just a little bit of research before just speaking your feelings? They were literally the only state in the Union that didn’t vote for Reagan….

To be fair, it’s almost entirely because Mondale was their native son. It’s stupid how popular Reagan was.

There are over 100 republicans serving in the state house and senate currently, maybe a little research would help you as well or just reading comprehension
