I was asked to show this movie at our County GOP headquarters. I did NOT want to watch it again - I was raised in North Minneapolis. It hit close to home for me. I showed it tonight and was shocked at the number of people that showed up and had never seen it. This is a great movie to get into everyone’s mind before November 5. The Harris/Walz ticket can NOT be allowed! It is free online at thefallofminneaplis.com - it is also free on YouTube.

Thank you. I will watch it and likely weep. I went to college in Minneapolis in the the late 80s. I loved the City and loved "the U". It's heartbreaking to see what has happened to a once lovely city, and to know that the downfall came because of the inherent tolerance and kindness of the people who populated the state of Minnesota. Lots of Norwegians and Swedes there. At a time when much of the country was still strained as far as race issues went, Minneapolis was the home of Prince and he was beloved. Very accepting people in Minneapolis. And that's why it was targeted to send a ton of people from Somalia. It's awful.
I lived in the Twin Cities from the late 80's to the late 90's. Back then, it was a nice place to live with a strong economy (which is why I moved there). The only problem was that most of the natives were absolute sheep.
You can call it kindness and tolerance, etc... but taken to extremes it becomes indistinguishable from complete cowardice and stupidity. Weakness is NOT a virtue.
If people are too stupid and/or too weak to defend themselves, their culture and their way of life, then they have proven that they deserve to be enslaved... and as a result it is only a matter of time until some stronger groups come along to enslave them. Nature abhors a vacuum, and weakness creates a power vacuum.
That is reality, and people need to learn to deal with it. The simplest description of the only solution that works every single time is "peace through strength". It is the only strategy that has worked successfully throughout history. It does not only apply to countries and foreign policies; it applies at every level of government all the way down to each of us as individuals.
