          That’s hilarious, I learned about that not too long ago. Can you give me a good recipe, I want to try one.

            Brown a pound of hamburger. Mix it with 2 cans cream of chicken or mushroom or broccoli or whatever cream of soup you like.

            Line a casserole dish with tater tots. Add your creamy meat amalgamation and spread it all over the top of the tots. Then add another layer of tots on top. Cover with shredded cheese and bake it covered with foil for however long the tot bag says to bake them. Then uncover and broil it to crust up the cheese.

            This is just a base mind you. You can add stuff to it to your hearts content. Add green beans to make yourself feel better about this carb nuke you’re about to consume. Top with canned biscuits to make a pot pie. etc.

            Ain’t nobody ever eating “casserole” anywhere in Minnesota. We eat hot dish here. If you do make a “casserole” in Minnesota, a circle of Lut’ern church ladies will burn your Minnesotan card and make you move to Wisconsin.

      The media doesn’t cover protests. Most local channels are owned by mega corps like Sinclair.

      The problem is that information outlets are owned by bad actors.

        Fortunately Sinclair only has 1 station in Minnesota, WUCW, which is not one of the big ones where most people get their news (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX).

        I think they’re dead last in news market share.

          Depending on the area. National yes, but look at how local outlets are reporting on them. Lawton OK had one and their local outlets barely covered it par exemple.

    I heard that the protests in MN were cancelled, which seems like a cut and dry tactical misstep from protest organizers to me, but I haven’t been able to find a lot of details.

    This doesn’t look cancelled.

    Anyone on the ground know more details?

      It would be more incredible if those people were armed and swarming the studios of radical fascist media and beating the hell out of pro-trump talking heads.

      Standing around waving signs and cheerleading shitty chants does nothing and will be forgotten in a week.

        History has overwhelmingly shown that non-violence is more successful than violence. You do you.

          I don’t think that’s true. There were violent riots accompanying every major social change in at least recent history.

          And famously, it took an entire fucking war to end slavery in the United States.

        Welll… It’s honestly not that big. The entire turnout across the States was not that big. The two anti Brexit protests in London had about 1.5 million participants and Britain has a much smaller population. Most Americans don’t seem to care.

          London population: 8.8 million

          Twin cities combined population: 3.6 million

          London public transport: pretty damn good, connections everywhere, not an insane price

          Twin cities public transport: almost non-existant, insane parking prices

          London police: sometimes reasonable and lightly armed

          Twin cities police: notoriously corrupt, heavily armed, use constant excessive force on civilians

          Mystery solved.

      Definitley bigger - the aerial shots from his DC event showed more empty space than people, and this MN turnout is impressive considering it was technicaly “cancelled” lol.

    As someone now living in Europe, I find the US protests mild and small. When Europeans protest, they protest. I mean, my native Greece saw a massive protest in Feb, well over a million went out, in a country of ~9 million. This is how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm3vEKMnA-8

      The problem, the Americans work too much. If they had the vacation days like the Europeans, these protests would turn French. The demonstrations in Germany are weak compared to the French too.
