Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura says the people of his state should consider leaving the United States. In an interview on the SpinSisters podcast that premiered Saturday, Ventura pitched his plan by saying that it’s clear President Donald Trump doesn’t want the state.
“How about since Trump dislikes Minnesota so bad and we’re so out of control, let’s join Canada. Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state of America and lose their healthcare… I’d like to see Minnesota, all of us become Canadians,” Ventura said. Make this part of Canada, because it’s obvious Donald Trump don’t want us. It’s obviously he’s ready to fracture the whole country for his own folly."
I’d like to see Minnesota, all of us become Canadians,” Ventura said. Make this part of Canada, because it’s obvious Donald Trump don’t want us.
The thing is, Jessie, Canada doest want the ~40% of Minnesotans who did vote for Trump.
Figure out how to leave them behind then maybe we can talk.
And whatever % that are Americans.
Make your own country. Isn’t that what the declaration of Independence was all about?
It’s also what the US civil war was all about.
Wow, I didn’t think a State would be openly discussing secession this early in the year.
No thanks.
Based, but no thanks.
Unlike Donald and maga we aren’t actively seeking out land and frankly even if we wanted to take them we couldn’t without crippling the country financially.
Tho we might have your back if you split from from the lead brained south.
Would that ruin our chances of joining the EU? (I know we can’t)
No thanks. We don’t want american culture polluting our own any more than it already does. Your ‘greatest country on Earth’ mentality created this mess, you can clean it up.
