Gov. Tim Walz vows to fight Donald Trump’s agenda while working to understand his appeal
Gov. Tim Walz has vowed make Minnesota a safe haven for the values that drove the Democratic presidential ticket he helped lead.
You're viewing a single thread.
For those unfamiliar with Minnesotan language, that's what this vow is.
He will fight Project 2025 as state governor, which does give him powers the president can't just take. "While working to understand the appeal" means he acknowledges that Magats are idiots and will also work on a way to get through their thick skulls to also reject the Presidents agenda.
Minnesota nice is fun :)
Edit: another interpretation would be he said to Trump supporters: "Y'all need Jesus."
I'm kinda in love with Walz right now. Hopefully he'll be my governor soon™. Fuck Greg Abbott. Just hope I manage to get out before Texas fascists go full nuts.
You could also come over to Illinois. It's shaping up to be a stronhold for the Trump resistance as well.
I'm looking into learning Dutch and going to Denmark, tbh. Cruz winning, Abbott, Paxton, Patrick, and the rest being complete Trumpian ass-slurpers does not give me any hope for Texas going Blue
I can barely see him from over the pond but he seems somewhat decent
If I'm not mistaken, his policies are a big reason why Minnesota is one of the big LGBT travel destinations right now. I think he was the governor who signed legal weed into law and supported really strong trans and LGBT healthcare bills that do things like force health insurance to cover gender-affirming care.
About weed, funniest shit, republicans didn't understand the language in a bill pushing for hemp-derived edibles and decided to push it through lol https://www.npr.org/2022/07/02/1109576113/minnesota-thc-edibles-accident-delta-8
I think that's a different bill than our smokeable marijuana bill but you gotta appreciate the irony
After an amendment passed unanimously during a Minnesota legislative session in May, state Sen. Abeler jokingly said: "That doesn't legalize marijuana — we just didn't do that, did we?"
And he did that all (and more) with a 1 seat majority in both houses of the state legislature. Unfortunately, it looks like thd house is going to be a tie so we're not likely to see any more big legislation for the next two years.
That does sound good
They all already have Jesus, that fat orange spawn of Satan. The is to he worshipped
And nothing was learned, yet again.
Not true. We learned that apparently being decent, caring, and empathetic won't win against racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and hate.
