As ICE agents surged into Minneapolis, they found actual road ice to be more than a match for their wits and driving skill. Look at this. The federal agents have all but given up, and they haven’t even activated four-wheel drive. They also haven’t made it out of the parking lot. Credit to the photographer […]

Lived here most of my life, there is no like about it. Everybody can be at the mercy of the weather and if you can help somebody you do. I’ve had strangers help me twice with shovels, sand in their car, pushing etc. You would have to be a massive dickhead for people to not help you, and a despicable kind of human to be heckled for it.
Another telling sign? The traffic passing by must have contained MAGA. It was, at least, alive in rural Minnesota. Those are the people who have the massive equipment nearly always.
I don’t know why they pass, but they clearly don’t want to be recognized as the one who helped ICE out.
I firmly believe Minnesota was targeted because of Walz and the fact that the state has never voted for a modern GOP presidential candidate. It’s retribution. And if there is one thing I think even the MAGAts don’t appreciate its when they are caught in the crossfire.
Few of the maga folk I know here in MN are in disbelief of what the facists they voted for are doing, particularly in their own state. It’s all I can do not to rub their noses in it and say I told you so. But I already know they are still voting GOP in the midterms and 2028 regardless so it’s not like they’ve learned anything.
Be kind to them. Point out all the small things, and gently point to the fact that Republicans are still both enabling Trump and helping him. Then around elections just ask them to vote for literally anybody who’s saying no to Trump. It’s the best we can do.
It’s like an unwritten law that if you can get someone get unstuck, you do.
You would have to be incredibly disliked to be heckled after getting stuck.
“can’t park there, mate.”
“FFAACK OFF!”

Yeah, lived here most my life, and while I’ve never gotten stuck where I needed the assist, I am that stranger with a shovel.
For locals to not help is deeply non-normal and inhospitable behavior in the Midwest.
Inhospitable behavior is a great way to describe it, because that’s the goal.
I was being very… Polite… With my descriptions.
