Also Minnesota has some of the best canoeing landscapes on earth!! Never been but it doesn’t seem like words or pictures can convey the intensity of beauty.

I can’t stand the hatred against Minnesota

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.

That’s why the right hates Minnesota.

Anything but Epstein

Minnesota is an example of successful progressive policies, so right wing media and politicians lose their shit over it. Not that hard to wrap your head around.

The only thing I have against Minnesota is the rivalry between the Packers and Vikings…

Had one of the best times of my life up in the Boundary Waters.

I have never heard anyone hate on Minnesota, and I think it sounds like a great place to live.

Also, I do not consume nazi controlled media.

Everyone was more excited about the Walz part of the Harris / Walz ticket. So of course they want to talk shit about us.

Also we have the longest steak of voting for a Democrat in a presidential election. Every other state is just jealous. MN is the best

It’s right wing propaganda my friend. That’s it.

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.

If a state leans Democratic and is doing well, they will nonstop try to tear it down because if they didn’t some of their voters might see it and start questioning things.

I moved to CA for a job and really loved my experience there. The whole time that I was there my dad (Fox-News-pilled) would talk to me on the phone and try to tell me how bad CA was. I was like seriously? I live here and you’ve never been here. How the heck are you trying to tell me how bad it is?

As a Minnesotan, I didn’t realize there was hate towards the state

I can reassure you that I, for one, don’t hate Minnesota.

In fact, I don’t think about it at all, because it’s a place halfway around the world I didn’t even know existed. I thought Weird Al made it up as a funny-sounding place name that has a big twine ball.

Nutters are great at picking something and demonizing it like the psychos they are. California, Chicago, Immigrants, Women, etc. They pick something and then fire up that 24/7 hate machine. Viewers don’t get the vaunted primal propaganda portrayed by the 2-Minute Hate in 1984, they get to bathe in this bs filth all their waking hours. Thanks to fucking Reagan killing The Fairness Doctrine, these poor, stinky, uninformed victims never even get to hear another point of view.

A successful Blue state, no wonder MAGA hates it.

Trying to make it another Portland or Chicago for the reich wing. Their one-stop shopping for prejudicial stereotypes and “what’s wrong with America.” They’re like schoolyard bullies without an original thought that keep harping on whatever taunt that worked before.

I don’t know who hates Minnesota other than the Orange Jackass. Personally I hate Louisiana, Florida, and Texas. I’m also obliged to hate New York and Los Angeles but that’s just cuz I’m from Chicago.

Nowhere is perfect and there are some VALID criticisms.

Y’all have winter for 7 months out of the year. Don’t you lie to out of staters and say there isn’t snow in May. The only months I ain’t never seen snow in is July and August and I’m pretty sure there are records of snow in July.

And it’s not just any winter. I have seen the ass crack of -54F during a polar vortex. On more than one occasion it’s been colder than the surface of Mars.

When it finally starts to melt you have a season dedicated entirely to ticks.

I do miss it in the summertime though. I like humidity and thunderstorms. And fireflies when there used to be fireflies.

But FUCK the mosquitoes. I literally had to sleep under mosquito netting. That’s what 10,000 lakes gets ya.

Source: lived up north for way too long. Fucked off back to the land of perpetual rain where I belong. Yes, I couldn’t hack it. Y’all are tough, I’ll give you that.

If you’re getting hate from the right, it probably means you’re doing right by most people.

It’s one of my favorite states I’ve ever been to. Amazing food, amazingly friendly people, it’s got it all.

I had a flat tire (no spare) situation while driving through Minnesota in the mid 90s. I was on a rural state rd and had to hike about a 1/4 mile back to the last house I’d passed. I knocked hoping to use a phone for a tow truck. Ladie answered the door with two babies on her hip and about 6-8 other little ones (walker types) surrounding her. I explained my situation and she handed me the keys to her only car, told me about a town 8 miles one way and a bigger one 9 miles the other way. That kindness wrapped up in under 5 minutes from the knock to me pulling out of her driveway in her car. I’ve never been back to Minnesota but that one experience has left the impression that Minnesota contains the best Americans that America has to offer.

In “worst states” lists Louisiana usually bottoms out the list as the worst in almost every metric.
