Why would they think that after George Floyd? I think this might be retaliation for Derek Chauvin(istic)

They absolutely miscalculated about Charlotte.

America, the real one, doesn't support ICE in any way. Hold every agent accountable, then jail and deport every one of them. I'm sure their corruption would be welcomed in Russia.

Minnesota is targeted to get to 2 prominent people on their enemies list - Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar. And they thought “Minnesota nice” meant the people would rollover. They projected their own racism and thought white people would look the other way while non-whites were targeted. They were wrong.

I'm pretty sure that in the planning process someone (probably Noem) must have said "They will greet us as liberators"

Also don’t discount Trump’s tiny hard-on for Walz. And how he thinks we voted for him three times. And how he hates Ilhan. He’s going to try to hang here for a while.

They picked January for a reason. It is f*cking fridgid here right now and people are still taking to the streets. The general strike is planned for what will likely be the coldest day if the year. Forecast is -10 F for the high.

If they fuck up again like they did with Shawn & Destiny Jackson's baby we will have an extremely dangerous situation on our hands. Forget the Floyd protests - this will be something way way way more intense.

It worked on Eric Adams (via the bussing gambit) and they wrongly assumed that the Dem base is as shallow and spineless as our pols

And yes, a lot of MAGAs (like Stephen Miller) genuinely and truly believe in the insane theory that all the protesters are paid by George Soros (or some other wealthy Jewish entity). They are clinging to this insane, wildly bigoted theory in the face of a mountain of evidence to the contrary.

I liken it to your siblings. You beat the crap out of each other but if an outsider comes for one of them, gloves are off

Reminds me of when DeSantis sent a plane of refugees to Martha's Vineyard, and the locals did everything possible to support them.

I wonder how much of the miscalculation has to do with Minneapolis having the largest Somali community in the nation, and the MAGAs just assumed normal (ie white) locals would be eager to be rid of them—when in fact Somali immigration has proven to be remarkably tension-free?

That or that the consensus-seeking, harm-reducing approach would translate to white suburbanited cowardly staying home when ICE shows up.

They aren’t as wrong about that as they f**kjng should be though.

They're picking blue states to disrupt all future voting in order to have a permanent control of the government. The sequence includes creating agitation and declaring martial law and eliminating voting. This was planned years ago as part of project 2025, with protests expected against the gov.

Exactly

Yeah, ignoring the people stepping out of houses in their pjs and sweats to yell at them.

One of the finest traditions of the Midwest (especially the Upper Midwest) is neighborliness. When someone needs help, you help them. Before heavy industry, you don't survive the winters in a place like that if you don't help shovel each other out, and that's a value system that runs deep.

This all starts with the destruction of the Fairness Doctrine

I never thought of it like that. Interesting!

it is one of the truly great pleasures of basic ass straight white guy-ness to have some meatball assume you're as bigoted as them b/c your general appearance and hit them with an icy "you fucked up" stare. nice to know that it will actually bother them.

They really - *really* thought it'd be an easy propaganda win, and nobody will ever convince me of otherwise.

Rose Nylund would certainly be against ICE.

I had forgotten her last name! When I looked up Rose Nylund, I did that high-pitched laugh of surprise. Couldn't help myself. Amazed my cats ignored me. Thx for this, cousin.

if they go to Maine unfortunately they might not get countered because the population is really low so the ratio of ICE officers to regular people is going to be absolutely fucked if they send everybody. however, for this, they would need to send the Minneapolis numbers.

Not a fun subject- real problem: Armed forces if you don’t make the right choice (constitution) you could find vigilante bullets headed your way. (Out of no where)- pop pop pop *** It’s a complete shame what this administration is building.

Exactly! These aren't people who watch right wing propaganda and hope the rubes buy it while playing 3D chess. They're the rubes *consuming the propaganda*. They actually believe immigrants are destroying the "white Christian fabric" of places like Minneapolis.

Much like Ukraine, yes, I think so.

And some in our own state (lookin' at you, Finstad, Emmer) are happy to repeat these fantasies ad nauseam when they know they are false.

Trump himself all but said it with that "do the people of Minnesota REALLY want" post! They thought they'd be greeted as liberators and don't understand why we all hate them!

Yes, I assumed they chose Minneapolis because it is one of the few major cities in a blue state that is majority white, and they figured that would make it a stroll. (It did not.)

Since Donald Trump’s mother was an illegal alien (not to mention two of his wives) and he doesn’t believe in the 14th Amendment, is @realDonaldTrump a citizen or should ICE deport him?? phreddi.com/2026/01/17/f...

But mostly I think they thought they had a real good narrative arc around this Somali shit that would make good TV and get "Heritage Americans" who watch Fox excited.

As someone who saw up-close their bullshit in October and November, you are 100% correct: the people calling the shots here are high on their own supply. They’ve been listening too long to propaganda that claims anyone who isn’t a conservative is weak and frail, and they have *no plan* for reality.

Minnesota’s state motto is a French motto that translates to “The Star of the North.” Y’all are stars. ⭐️ 🌟 You’re brave & courageous. It’s scary, but you’re not backing down. Stay safe. We’re all Minnesotans now… 📎

Pls 2 allow me 2 repeat myself myself: Motherfuckers have forgotten — or never knew— that these old white aunties and grandmas were on the streets and went through the fires starting DECADES ago 🔥… and have basically been pissed-off as shit ever since. ☄️🤬

The organization is amazing. Don’t fuck with Midwest nice people!!!

I also think, and I know people from their are passionate about how great their city/region is, just how they are seen as kind of small and quaint in a bunch of places. So when this little, not scary, city kicks the government's ass...

Per your earlier post, I think it's reasonable to assume that a lot of people involved are operating on Turner Diaries race war logic. Racist fascists in power projecting their framing on everyone else and being surprised not to see their expected outcome

I also suspect they thought "no one is coming out in a Minneapolis winter to stop us."

Also this is causing them to miss their daily quotas. I think this more than anything else will cause them to withdraw. Wouldn't be surprised that they will start going to red states as it will be easier to meet quotas

I think the fundamental difference is that the left wants to avoid violence. The right seeks it out. That avoidance is not inherent weakness but a strength.
