It’s one of the best state in the US.

Highest life expectancy. One of the most progressive tax system. Great labor rights. Free tuition for students with a family income under $80,000. 10,000 Lakes.

There is some fraud scandal, and suddenly, it’s all we hear about.

  • Trump administration talks about it 24/7. They claim some somali family stole $1 billion, $2 billion, $5 billion, $10 billion. What’s the next figure? 800 billion?

  • The Murdoch family (Fox News, New York Post) talks about it 24/7

  • Elon Musk promotes “Fraud in Minnesota” content on X.

  • Joe “Rogan” and these dumbass youtube influencers show up and start saying Tim Waltz is incompetent and corrupt.

It turned into scapegoating Minnesota. One fraud scandal and it’s all they talk about 24/7.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump gives pardons to convicted fraudsters and no one bats an eye.

The Senator representing Florida (Rick Scott) was criminally convicted for defrauding Medicaid and Medicare with fake invoices, but he says Minnesota is corrupt.

Go fuck yourselves

    They’ve been doing the same thing to California for decades. Yes, CA has some real problems but these are just run on repeat 24/7 on Fox News while never mentioning the good things.

    Most of California’s problems (like most places in the US) come from the neoliberalism in our government.

    They try to pretend that California is communist or some shit, but most of its affordability problems (housing prices, utility prices, etc.) come from the invisible hand(job) of the free market.
