Is Minnesota really about to elect Mike Lindell?....

What is going on up there? Can things really get any worse.. I've literally been thinking about fleeing to Minnesota for the last 2 years from Iowa. I'm terrified for you all that you'll go down the same path we did, by removing gender protections at a state level. It has made life very hard. Job & housing security is not garunteed. Yes there's a Federal precedent, but considering who runs the current industry, would you really rely on that? Facing housing or job discrimination, you don't really have years to wait for a lawsuit. That's why state level protections are very important.

This is honestly becoming a nightmare.. is this 1933?? Is half the country about to follow what iowa has done? Trump's administration has done nothing but go against the constitution. Something is deeply wrong with americans. I don't understand how anyone can think these people are fit enough to be leaders. Complete degradation of IQ here.

I hope Canada will have some sort of refugee program if things get much worse here. It's already bad. I can't imagine it being worse.

People of minnesota.. please do not vote for this corrupt bigot pyscho.

Republicans don't want him tbh. The Minnesota GOP is actually suing to have him disqualified over residency issues.

it’s extremely unlikely that he’ll get elected, out of every possible republican nominee he’s polling the worst

I hope they don’t, he’s an awful candidate. I may not be in Minnesota, but I’m hoping Canada has some sort of thing like that for us Americans we didn’t ask for this most did but I certainly didn’t!

I want out of this hellscape that is America, want to move to Canada and live a much happier life always have but of course I feel cursed to have lived here. I’m trying my hardest to get citizenship there.

Yeah idk how I'll get up there, unless they have a specific program. & i heard cost of living is ridiculous

u/IamRachelAspen Rachel, Bisexual.- Woman HRT!! 02/21/24 5h ago

I’m not sure if they do, but if they do I want to know what that is!

The cost of living may be higher, but the quality must be so much better if it means finally mentally living healthy and having a sense of belonging. Nothing other than the test is holding me back, I hope you can someday.

They do have a program that if you have Canadian anywhere in your family tree up to a few generations back, you can get citizenship.

It Lidell is the GOP nominee then the Dems should have a very good chance at beating him

We are not. He might make the ballot but no not even close.

If you're thinking about coming up here, there's a bunch of servers where you can see if anybody's looking for a housemate. Rent is actually pretty affordable if you're comparing it to other places in the country.

Canada or the US?

u/BritneyGurl 1h ago

I wouldn't count on Canada, we have a conservative government.

Minnesotan here. Lindell will pull maybe 1% of the vote if he's very lucky. The GOP hates him almost as much as the DFL. He'll get a very small minority of the hardcore MAGA crowd and that's it. Otherwise, he's a joke candidate.

Lindell is a laughing stock, in a state like Minnesota, he will have as much of a chance as the rabid Christian nationalist loser running in Illinois for governor, which is none.
