[@silvershimmer]

Beau had a nervous breakdown after a news story that said he was a human trafficker when in reality he had been working on a piece of investigative journalism on human trafficking when he decided to try and rescue these trafficked people. He became mentally unstable after heavy drinking and lost his cool over his mistaken reputation. Beau has been a very charitable person with his success. It's depressing how few people can show empathy for their fellow humans. It's not weakness to show compassion, it's strength.

[@dunwitch]

I've worked for Tim Walz and have heard him speak in person many times. He's a good honest man with a heart of gold, he has done amazing things for us in Minnesota. We're really sorry to lose him to the VP job because he has done so much for us here in Minneapolis where I live and across the state. Every day he's been in office working for the people of Minnesota has been a blessing to all of us, no matter our politics. BUT when he becomes the VP he will leave Minnesota in the capable hands of Peggy Flanagan, who will become the first Native American governor of a US state. She's great and will also do a great job, but Tim has that friendly dad energy that I think perfectly complements Kamala's campaign. "Minnesota nice" is sort of an insult, you say a person is "Minnesota Nice" to mean they're not really nice although they might act that way to your face. It's a scandinavian thing, where even if you hate a person you'll be friendly toward them and help them whenever they need help because you might need their help one day. Countries like Sweden and Norway (where the majority of Minnesotans come from) are socialist and every person wants to help their neighbor as much as they can even if they disagree with them and don't like them. That's "Minnesota Nice." So we will dig your car out of a snowdrift ten times and bring you to work and help you buy groceries, but that doesn't mean we want to be your friend. A lot of people from elsewhere assume that if a person is that f-ing helpful and nice and kind, that it means we're friends. But that's not the case in Minnesota.

[@lynnw6190]

Absolutely perfect response. 100% endorsement from this lifelong Minnesotan

[@itzadam9359]

Just a friendly reminder that Sweden and Norway are not socialist. They are a social democracy with a social welfare system that is funded by taxes from every one of their citizens. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor everyone pays into the system.

[@jannmier3487]

I was born and grew up in Minnesota. I am still a Minnesotan and proud of it no matter where I lay my head at nice. And yes, Minnesota Nice is real.

Over the past 40+ years (yeah, I am an old dude), I have lived in the following states: NM, TX, FL, AZ, MN, KS, MN, and now NM. My experience with MN Nice is two-fold. The first thing about MN Nice is that people will generally be polite and kind to everyone. MN Nice can also mean passive-aggressive behavior. Tim Walz, as a congressman and governor (I voted for him for governor), is a man who says what he plans on doing and then works to get it done. He isn't perfect. He has made mistakes. He will make a great VP for President Harris (when she wins)!

Minneapolitan here. He's not perfect, but so far and above the competition that I'm beginning to have hope again. My personal criticisms include his over-use of the National Guard, especially Uptown and his out-of-touch auto-reply message. For me, his accomplishments outweigh these mistakes. I trust Kamala's decision. About Minnesota nice...it's a generalization that doesn't apply to everyone. Most of us do show care for our neighbors, but we tend to be so introverted that it comes off as insincere. Many of us are guilty of saying the right thing, but failing to follow-through too.

Minnesotan here (Minneapolis, MN). I've lived here since 1990 (with a 5 year hiatus for school and work). Minnesota nice? Yes. But so is Minnesota nasty. Minnesota nice is just a nice slogan that paints Minnesota in a good light. Having said that, I have personally and professionally experienced mostly Minnesota nice. Let me put it this way: I am an independent who leans progressive, and even though I can work from anywhere in the country (or world), I plan to live and work here in good ol' Minnesota indefinitely. For purposes of transparency, living in the Twin Cities is a different experience from living in other urban or more rural areas of Minnesota. You just got a new subscriber. I hope we both make it through this upcoming presidential election with our sanity intact. I hate politics, but unfortunately it's a necessary evil. ✌🏾 P.S. I voted for Tim Walz. I don't agree with all of his decisions, but if he ran again, I'd vote for him again. Oh and yeah, I definitely consider him a great example of Minnesota nice! 😋

VP Harris made a good pick. The way Trump has defamed and tried to degrade women--especially women of color--really bothers me. I am White, but my wife is a Black/Filipina. She was a victim of Trump's Extreme Vetting in the Philippines from 2017 to 2019. There is no way I could vote for Trump. In my opinion, anyone who could vote for him needs to do some introspection concerning their own state of mind. My wife is now a U.S. citizen, and this will be her first Presidential election. She will vote for Kamala Harris against Donald Trump along with me and my 3 children from my first marriage in North Carolina. My ex-wife and her parents are voting for Kamala as well.

For Walz to do that now would be nice but probably not that big of a deal - in 2024. But this was back in the 90s - back when we (myself included although I was in my 20s for context) were a lot less tolerant of the LGBT community.
