"Those who are asking how we got this so very wrong, need only to look in the mirror. Many Republicans sat on the sidelines while the Democrats went hog wild.

Do you remember all those neighborhood meetings you went to where the citizens were clamoring for a new state flag? No? Me neither. Do you remember whenever you looked upon the Minnesota State Flag, your blood boiled due to its "racist nature"? No? Me neither. Do you remember the first time you saw the new template for a "non-racist, non-binary, non-historical" flag (which looked remarkably like the Somalia flag), and your heart swelled up with pride? No? Me neither.
Next question will be easier. Do you loathe the new state flag? Yes? Me too. It is an embarrassment. Somebody said it was only a symbol, for the Democrats to pay homage to the nine million (or so) Muslims who have taken over Minneapolis. My view? When I see this flag, I see Tim Walz. A failure. A phony. A clown. Does my heart swell with pride when I see this flag? No, my blood runs cold. We need our old flag back - like yesterday.
I put changing our flag right up there with changing the sex of some of the Viking's cheerleaders. An unforced error. A foolish move, as it did not need to happen. All it did was piss off the citizens and patriots who love the Vikings. Just like this foolish flag really irked the remaining patriots who live in this state. Like I said, for Walz and crew to change our flag was an unforced error. But then again, nobody ever said Walz was the brightest bulb in the ceiling.
Right now, there is a petition go get our old flag back. It has 10,000 or so signatures on it already. Maybe we need two flags - one for the citizens and the other for the newcomers. If we never agree on which flag is the most appropriate, maybe we have two instead. I know it should not be this way, but whichever flag is used by someone these days, speaks volumes about where they are with many important issues. Putting it another way - none of the people I ride with fly that new flag. They just don't.
Soon we will have a new governor. I know - that should have happened right after the Marx Dayton term. But instead, we got Taxing Timmy. Tampon Timmy. Blow our surplus on crap we don't need Timmy.
Those who are asking how we got this so very wrong, need only to look in the mirror. Many Republicans sat on the sidelines while the Democrats went hog wild. People think we elect morons to lead us, and we do. But it is we the voters, who put these morons in office. And these morons have given us this stupid looking new flag.
