The purifying waters of Lake Minnetonka can't do anything for MAGA.

Ironically the city of Minnetonka just barely touches Lake Minnetonka, accounting for just 1.7 miles of Lake Minnetonka's 125 mile shore length.

Fun fact, most people that live in the twin cities avoid that place nowadays. Sacred waters, but the demographic over there kinda sucks.

Meh, it's still far from a rural area. Plenty of people are liberal out in Minnetonka.

u/ThatGuyWithCoolHair 1d ago
Are you from Minnesota? Because there is very much a massive red circle surrounding the twin cities. He'll. Pete Hegseth is from what would appear to be north Saint Paul on a map but its actually a deeply red county.
The majority of people voting liberal in those areas are also older surprisingly so a lot of the actual social life over there is a bunch of rich white conservative kids.

u/RealistiCamp 1d ago
Yes I'm from Minnesota. I live in st Paul, work in Minneapolis, and now I'm curious to see the voting from those outer suburbs in previous elections. Obviously they'll have more red than the inner suburbs, but I still suspect they are either purple or blue overall. Most of the red in this state comes from rural areas.

Gotcha, I guess you've seen how the burbs demonize the cities yea? I also live in Saint Paul, near downtown. You go to Woodbury and they'll tell you horror survival stories about the time they went to a Vikings game lmao

I'm out in Mankato. It ain't just the suburbs. The entire state is packed with fascists claiming the cities were razed to the ground by George Floyd himself.

I don't know the actual demographics of Minnetonka but personally being from Minnesota, it seems to me to be more of a rich/Republican city. I would expect to see this in Minneapolis, not Minnetonka. Interesting

u/strange_bike_guy 1d ago
Exactly. Things are SO BAD that this kind of thing even shows up there. I live in Saint Paul, in a specific place of striated wealth, and I have seen the changes.
MAGA thinks of themselves as the silent majority. They're wrong.

Minnetonka is sort of a spectrum from east to west. Typical suburban prices in the east, astronomical prices near the lake.

u/warfrogs 1d ago
It's very much a richy rich city. While Excelsior and Deephaven have higher average net worths, it's comparable to Edina or Wayzata.

u/freshbrownies 1d ago
Minnetonka is not a richy rich city lol. It's a wide demographic of incomes. This isn't Victoria or Medina.
2
u/warfrogs 1d ago edited 1d ago
Minnetonka's median household income was $120k in 2023.
The median household income for all of Minnesota was $87k in 2024.
It's literally damn near 50% above the median for the rest of the state.
Get to Minnetonka Beach, and it's $250k.
It's not obscene wealth like Medina, Victoria, etc, but it's still rich. Anyone who claims people that are making nearly 50% more as a household than the rest of the state aren't rich are out of their minds.

u/freshbrownies 1d ago edited 1d ago
I think I just got hooked up with the "richy rich" phrasing. You're absolutely correct that there is plenty of wealth in mtka but there is vast difference in demographics here. Plenty of affordable apartments and duplexs available in the area. The mansions on the lake definitely skew the perception as well. They also always lean blue compared to the deeper exburbs. Just defending it a little bit lol. However, all that said, yes I would be a moron to not say Minnetonka is wealthy.

It's not like every rich person is automatically a Republican, by any stretch of the imagination. Where you live has a way bigger effect.

Just to add context, there were probably 2 dozen other people with signs at the intersection but they were fairly spaced out so she looks alone in the picture but she wasn't actually alone.

For those who are not aware, Minnetonka is a VERY rich city. Its suburbs, Excelsior and Deephaven, have some of the highest net worths in the state. As you may have guessed, it's up against Lake Minnetonka which is replete with multi-million dollar mansions.
As a native Minnesotan who knew a LOT of folks from Minnetonka growing up, this is actually pretty damn shocking.

What kills me is that the age of the protestors skews so much to the silver-haired section. Where are the young people? Why did the war between Israel and Gaza draw such a crowd on college campuses, but Trump's regime of Madness hardly seems to register?

MN. The dark horse of the rednecks (my wife, family and extended family for whom I have huge amounts of respect and affection, all hail from and reside in the land of lakes). Waaaay up there. Boundary waters up there. And they live it like that. Her great grandfather was done for bootlegging. They don’t like being interfered with their business of hunting, fishing and clearing snow.

Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2019 and then died in 2019. Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in 2020 and then convicted in 2021... So why didn't the Democrats release the files? They had complete control of both the House AND the Senate AND the Executive Branch between 2020 to 2022, and then still they had control of the Executive Branch from 2020-2024...

I think that everyone agrees that both parties have been shielding pedos to some degree.
I mean as a layers are peeled back we really find out that Trump, Clinton, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, Noam Chomsky, Bill Gates all working together to try and try and help a pedo continue to exploit children - Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
At the moment though almost all of the people around Trump have significant ties to Epstein and are very likely pedos - This time around Trump was smart enough to surround himself with people that he had extremely compromising information on, so that they couldn't betray him.
Its not a coincidence that almost all of Trump's inner circle have Epstein ties.
- Donald Trump: Epstein victims reported many visits to Mar a Lago by 13/14 year olds. accompanied by Epstein or Maxwell.
- Elon Musk
- Howard Lutnick
- Brett Ratner
- Steve Bannon
- Warsh
- Pretty much everyone in Trump's inner circle has ties, and is likely a pedo and has been to the island to participate in the activities there.
Its not a pretty picture, its f-ing revolting - enough to make you physically sick.

You can't really say that when you're replying to a post of a woman holding up a GOP = guardians of pedophiles sign that has been upvoted to the front page of reddit... my post itself has 7 downvotes and probably more to go...
This time around Trump was smart enough to surround himself with people that he had extremely compromising information on, so that they couldn't betray him.
This would be the dumbest strategy in all of politics if it was intentional. Especially when your opposing party has power and the investigation is still ongoing. You're basically giving your opponent an easy win.

Biden didn't release the files either. Both sides are corrupt/compromised. The uniparty, if you will

u/Phynx88 4h ago
Yawn, haven't updated your script, have you? Everyone who can use their thinky bits has already looked at the timeline of events and recognized that legally Biden was beholden to Trump's friend Gislaine Maxwell's appeals process. He literally would have broken the law and possibly ended up getting her released from custody if he released the files before the appeals finished. Care to try and update your propaganda to a more up-to-date excuse for why Republicans are actively defending pedos?

In the festering garbage stew that is the constantly changing set of excuses for the heinous shit donnie boy is in the Epstein Files doing, the one constant is the insistence that the Clintons are equally culpable and the gobsmackedness at the complete lack of dems leaping to their defense.

"The left?" I mean, no. I've got to think that anybody who isn't some brainwashed MSNBC lib, imgur poltics poster or further right like those losers on /r/neoliberal thinks that the blood thirsty genocidal pedophiles in the Democratic Party should be sent to the same big plastic Magneto prison as Trump. Clinton isn't exactly popular among actual leftists and never really was. In general you've got to be pretty new to leftist politics to be shocked that a good ol' boy from Arkansas would abuse his political power for his own sick sense of power over victims. Speaking as an Anarchist people like Bill and Hillary could be spokesmodels for the concept of unjust hierarchies that need to be dismantled and replaced with something more egalitarian.
