DANCING THE MINNEAPOLIS TWO STEP

The Minnesota Two Step seems a lot like 2020 deja vu all over again and a catalyst for nationwide insurrection and Bolshevik Revolution 2.0

Minnesota has evolved over the years into an epicenter for radical progressive politics, its significantly Christian and community focused rural Scandinavian and German forebears notwithstanding. They brought a socialist political leaning with them from the old country that was reinforced by Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal farm and public works programs during the 1930s and 40s.

New Deal Republican Governor, Harold Stassen, was even selected to be one of the 17 U.S. delegates to the 1944 San Francisco Conference that drafted the United Nations Charter because of his unflinching support of world government. In 1944 the Minnesota Democratic party formed the Democratic Farmer/Labor Party and over the next 30 years moved its political base from rural areas to the Minneapolis/St.Paul area where it continues today.

What started as a community strength and execise in citizen involvement has metasticized into something far beyond the public good, having become much closer to a do-gooders nightmare than a utopian dream. Minnesotans need to be careful of what they wish for. It might just destroy the very society they have worked so hard to create.
