One of my connections commented on a shared post of the Rand Paul story regarding him not getting the vaccine. The comment itself was idiotic and extremely lib, but I viewed the top comments in the post...I'm not sure if they have an algorithm or what but literally every other post flipped flopped on stance. If anything it leaned "let the man live the way he wants."
It could've also been the fact that the post was shared by somebody who clearly is awake, thus more followers are awake as well. However, the pro-jab comments weren't slammed to the top like you see on flakebook, twatter, etc. Regardless, it was shocking to see so many anti-vax, or at least see some hesitancy in the vax...in a blue lib hub, one of the strongest in the country, this was great to see.
Here's the post if interested... https://www.linkedin.com/posts/elias-sare-b69a7a64_rand-paul-refusing-to-get-vaccinated-because-activity-6802291308435189760-M7Ay
Other things seen from just outside Minneapolis.
-Masks are coming off. At the Twins last night, very few had masks. Probably 15-20%, which is huge for MN. Masks are now only required in Mpls or St. Paul proper.
-Many are sick of the SJWs and end-racism theme. Read the comments on the Vikings or Twins posts about Floyd from yesterday. The fans want none of it.
-Northern MN remains insanely red. Like any state, the metro is blue but extremely MAGA heavy everywhere else. Very curious to see if MN gets an audit.

Mid-Minnesotan here. Confirmed that away from the big cities it's damn red. Our town had it's own Trump store and a man still flies a massive Trump 2020 flag despite the city fining him and his property being shot up.
My apolitical asian gf turned red and voted for the first time in this past election for Trump. I as well voted for the first time for Trump. (we're early 30s). Her parents who once said, "Vote Democrat, they care about the people, they care about minorities" both voted for Trump and live smack dab in the middle of the big blue twin cities. I still see trump bumper stickers everywhere and even Trump flags on pickup trucks still.
