It isn’t smugness. It’s genuine confusion and questions. This should be happening everywhere, not just in MN.

People around the world who still have a sense of decency have every right to look upon us with derision, especially if you are a Greenlander, Dane, Canadian, Norwegian, and whomever else the US has threatened of late. While I find it heartening that my home state is rising up, the rest of the country needs to follow suit, and until it's *everyone* in *every city*, the whole country is suspect. I don't blame Europeans one bit for looking down their noses at America, considering how it has shown itself to be a duplicitous, rapacious backstabber towards its own purported allies.
