I like to think of them as "minneapolites"
Unfortunately they are the voice of the state. Many other states suffer from the same problem, big cities growing at cancerous rates. Poisoning the image of the entire state and steering it off a cliff politically, financially, culturally..... Ignorance breeds ignorance, it explodes like a stupid bomb.
Ain't that the truth. Unfortunately, you aren't alone at all (as you pointed out). I have long not considered 'the cities,' and the people therein, not to be part of Minnesota. Unfortunately they get to vote.
