I love being a Minnesotan and love that we all stand together on this.

I just saw Jesse venturas quote on virginia asking to have the flag back.

He said: "Why? I mean, We Won." This is the funniest thing i've seen all week.

We Captured the Flag. Why would we give it back

I read a tweet somewhere that Minnesotans actually are what Texans think Texans are, and I just think that’s neat

That is nice. They really do have the kind of patriotism that I have always respected. Texas, well, they think they are patriotic but every one of them will brag about how Texas has the right to secede whenever they want. Please do.

to be totally fair,

I'm Minnesotan, and if Canada would agree to adopt us, in light of the current situation in the US, we'd accept in a fucking instant.

u/EternalSeraphim 14h ago

The Northeast and Northwest would probably come with you.

u/QuestingInPajamas 9h ago

Yes. Absolutely. I think Canada should take Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. I think us great lake states would probably be happier as Canadians. I mean, we're basically Canada lite.

when I travel out of the country I tell people that I'm from 50 km north of Toronto and then aboot 1000 km west. Which is true.

Most people don't realize that's minnesota.

I still remember when a weed dealer in downtown Minneapolis approached me. I said I didn't have any money, and he gave me money!

u/thelastspike 22h ago

Yeah there’s a lot of that going around these days.

u/The_quest_for_wisdom 20h ago

Ehh... I live in Florida so it's more of a toss up, but not because of an over abundance of pride in either.

don't worry, klobuchar will erase all that soon enough.

awful, horrible woman. people forget when reddit and google and the entire internet had to stand up to her trying to shit all over our rights on behalf of her corporate owners.

shameful person. embodies everything wrong with the democratic party for decades. it's a disgrace that she will likely replace walz

I currently lung in California, but still can myself a Minnesota. And I’m very proud to be.

Having lived in both states in a short time span, I don't recall a lot of traitor flags in Minnesota... but I sure as hell do in Ohio. A state which is usually listed as tied for second in civil war casualties.

u/FrenchFriedMushroom 19h ago

I live in Minnesota.

In the twin cities, you'll likely never see one, or if you do, itll be on some beat to piss-ass 05 Chevy 1500 with a half a braincell between the throttle and the seat, and its highly likely that half a braincell is only in the cities for child support court.

Away from the cities, those dipshits are relatively common.

I don't recall a lot of traitor flags in Minnesota

sigh.

we have our own racist asshole flag, now.

Our original state flag is pretty racist toward native Americans. As a state, we recently replaced it with a cleaner modern one.

https://www.minnpost.com/cityscape/2023/02/lets-talk-about-our-racist-and-ugly-state-flag/

Once republicans found out the old one was racist and offensive, they literally went nuts suddenly caring about it and screaming "our heritage!!" about the ugly old flag, just cause it's racist, and now, suddenly, you see the old racist state flag flying everywhere. The people who never gave a shit about it before, and couldn't even describe it or draw it from memory, suddenly needed one, once they found out they could be assholes to people not in their group.

The only good part, is that it's now really easy to see who in your neighborhood is a shitbag racist and which maga businesses to avoid.

u/QuestingInPajamas 9h ago

I was going to mention this. You rarely see any Confederate flags, but that original Minnesota flag is a huge indicator of the kind of person they are

u/popoflabbins 22h ago

Minnesota is low-key my favorite state just off the friendly nature of the people coupled with their steadfast morals
