Speaking as a Midwesterner, let me give you my opinion of Tim Walz.

Walz needs to be seen in the context of the rapid fall of Minnesota, and particularly what happened to the Twin Cities.

The Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul used to be one of the nicest, safest cities
1/
in the United States. The Mary Tyler Moore show was set there for good reason, it was friendly, safe place.

Minnesota used to be purple and quite centrist.

The local Democratic party is called the DFL - the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party.
2/
That was how Minnesota politics worked - the cities in the metro area allied with the unions (primarily in the mining Northeast) who allied with the farmers. They went against the Twin Cities suburbs and businessmen, it was always polite, and the state was even.
3/
The big shift happened with the mass influx of Somalis, along with the Dems trying to bring in blacks from other metro areas. The "nice" Repubs being controlled opposition, they of course did nothing to stop this process.
4/
The demographics changed sharply, crime rates soared, and the political situation rearranged itself.

Along with much of the rest of the country, enough of the suburbs switched to the Dems, that along with the newly black metro areas, the Dems began to get a decisive margin.
5/
Polite and nice stopped right there, the new DFL played strictly hardball politics

They also turned on their traditional constituencies of the farmers and the Iron Range union workers. As soon as they didn't need the votes, it was slap across the face, and knife in the back,
6/
they had no need for those traditional white Americans, or there traditional values.

Minnesota rapidly became the most radical of the Midwestern states, even more so than Chicago-dominated Illinois.
7/
Walz is a snake & a chameleon. Yes, he hunts, does the fishing opener & sometimes wears flannel shirts - all of which are used by the entirely Democratic Minnesota media to portray him as something he is not, a folksy politician with a common touch.
8/
Walz is despised in the outstate regions where the hunting & fishing are primarily done. Those areas have flipped from Blue to solid Red, as they try to protect themselves from the radical in the Twin Cities - to no avail.
9/
The real Walz? He's the face of the Great Replacement, that is followed by the Marxists crushing the opposition.

That's exactly why they want him as VP. He brings no election advantages. They're not worried about the election, but what comes after.

Civil war is coming back on the table, and the Supreme Court would be responsible - but, they are too out of touch to understand the danger.

The judiciary is pure elitism, always has been. As high elites, the SC see Trump as a renegade, controlling the populace.
1/
When I say they are elite - that is their entire world. Lawyers, academics, politicians, reporters, other judges - they have nothing to do with ordinary people

Deep inside the elite echo chamber, the judges don't realize just how angry the people in their tens of millions are
2/
The pure contempt being displayed towards the average American by the judiciary would put Marie Antoinette to shame.

But, we're not Trump. We're angry, and Trump is a useful means to concentrate that fury.

Leftists taking over quaint small towns needs to be seen for what it is: a deliberate process of conquest & cultural annihilation.

I was in an old West Virginia mining town last year that was right in the heart of being gentrified. Beautiful, whitewater river, numerous hiking
1/
& biking trails through the mountains in the public lands all around the town, but yet still a reasonable distance from DC & the Eastern megalopolis.

The town was still likely more than 50% heritage population, as could be seen at the grocery store, homes, cars & so forth.
2/
Yet, there were very large numbers of young Blue tribe people moving in, easily identifiable at a glance through their dress & vehicles, with their coffee shops, outdoors companies & so forth.

And there were bulletin boards & window signs in the new shops. They were going to

On May 2 the Ukrainians launched an assault in the Black Sea area including:

47 air drones
14 sea drones
11 cruise missiles

Some of the sea drones carried anti-aircraft missiles, it seems at least 1 Russian fighter was shot down

What if it had been the US Navy under attack?
1/
People get very excited about rapid advances in military technology, such as sea drones shooting down airplanes, but the US & Western navies should be very concerned.

The US has the most powerful fleet in the world - but it is based on fighting past wars.
2/
The more rapid the rate of military technological change, the more quickly the current US fleet grows obsolete.

How would a US Navy vessel have handled a simultaneous assault from 71 air drones, sea drones and cruise missiles? How about 142?

Unfortunately, it goes much further than this. While a credentialed Leftist would be upset if harsh words are said about blacks & immigrants, they love nothing more than punching down on poor whites, particularly from rural areas.
1/
If you want to see just vicious contempt, trying listening to a MN liberal talking about poor whites from Alabama, Arkansas or Missouri. It's allowed hatred.

The poor whites are not accidental victims of the Leftists, they are deliberately kicked in the stomach & head
2/
when it comes to education, jobs, quality of life & crime.

The affluent Left has no intention of losing college slots or jobs to their client groups, or to live next door.

Oh no, it is the less fortunate whites that simply can't get into the colleges because they lack

This is an interesting post 👇, worth reading. There are some similarities with what I've been writing about for years, though other parts are different.

The most important mistake Dan makes is to confuse "tribes" with "race". Oh no, my frens nearly all of European history
1/
shows something entirely different.

Interracial conflicts occur, they are particularly important, but they aren't the norm, and they also aren't the most important thing that is happening right now.

There is no white tribe. There are a vast array of families,
2/
who make up a vast array of tribes, who make up numerous nations, who made up what we call the white race.

The overwhelming history of violence - and it is tremendous - isn't between races, but between tribes and nations, both sides of which are white for Europeans & descendants

What Phillipe doesn't understand is that actions reveal preferences. Other than the castle, Americans can live in huge blocks of multistory apartments, and yes, we too know how to close off streets & put up tables.

That is cheaper than the choices we make - because we are
1/
in fact substantially more affluent, and this opens options for us that most take.

We like to live in nice, detached single family homes with an average square footage of 2,000+ sq ft (~200+ sq meters) on land that we own, with trees, flowers & so on.
2/
That option also exists in Europe - and the average European cannot even remotely afford it. Yes, its different from our suburbs, but nice detached housing on land does exist, and it is far beyond the reach of the average person.
