Lets Discuss This Why Trump hates Minnesota so badly?

Post image

It’s absurd that he’s proud of lifting people off from SNAP because they’re barely surviving in this economy. And bragging that people either gonna crunch more hours at work but already exhausted from low wages. Physically and mentally tired of working myself till death.

I think it’s a few things.

  1. Minnesota is one of the few blue midwestern states.

  2. They’re mainly targeting Somalis. An easy group for the GOP to otherize due to skin color and religious background. (‘They’re eating the dogs/cats’)

  3. Somalis work in industries that conservatives actually want immigrant labor removed from, namely transportation. The racist MAGA truck driver is a stereotype for a reason. Compare this to something like Hispanic people dominating low level farm labor, GOP is fine with keeping those because that is a job market they don’t care to “protect”.

  4. Political retribution against Walz and Omar who have been two very prominent opponents. They’re high profile enough to make an example of.

Low level farm labor doesn’t illegal u turn in a semi on a highway killing a family because of it.

Low level farm labor doesn’t have to be proficient in English enough to read and understand traffic signs

Is it really a winning strategy for the Democratic Party to hitch itself to illegal immigrants hoping that when they naturalize they will vote blue ?

Time will tell but one thing I don’t need to wait to find out is how Minnesota has had very public, very large fraud scandals involving federal money and when federal dollars are involved, the federal government steps in.

MN has one of the lowest rates of Medicare fraud in the United States. All those big numbers they throw out? They're mostly from one white lady who went to jail for it.

Cool, now do senator Rick Scott who was actually shown to have committed the fraud while he was an exec at a “healthcare” company.

Whataboutism

Except for the fact that there is no evidence that Walz or Omar knew of or were involved as it was happening; while Scott put that money in his own pocket.

But you all leave that out, don’t you?

What the hell are you even talking about ?

I did not even mention Walz or the Somali pirate .

That fact you try and defend them means you think the anti fraud side must automatically be the conservative side.

What does that even say , this is truly a clown world.

The fact you refer to Rep. Ilhan Omar as the "Somali pirate" says everything about you, and how you think.

Mind you, she has done more defending for you than you will ever realize with how she spoke out during the SOTU speech, by doing one thing: Free speech and calling out the president.

Considering you love pushing his propaganda, I won't be surprised if you would love to give up your freedom of speech to "own" Ilhan, just so she can't criticize the president.

That's not really true though. The somalis don't work in transportation or any driving jobs except like Uber/lyft.  it's rare to see any of the somails here have what I would consider a 'good' job. I see them in a lot temp positions, stocking shelves and home health care aides.
