I live just a few miles from Minneapolis. I grew up in Minnesota.
I blame all of these problems with fraud and Somalis and Walz on this:
Back in 1973, thanks in large part to the above cover story in Time, “Minnesota Nice” became a thing.
The polite Scandinavians and Germans who largely populated the area took this as a compliment and have been trying to live up to “nice” ever since. Movies like Fargo with its lovable police chief didn’t help matters. The country had New York for rudeness; now it had its opposite in the Midwest.
Trouble is, not everyone interprets “nice” the same way. Some ingrate Somalis and other charlatans see it as synonymous with naive at best, and stupid suckers, at worst.
And so here we are.
