So thank you, tin foil hat dude. I didn't think I would see these kinds of alliances in my lifetime. I'm glad to have been wrong.

But no, they decided to demonize the hell out of them instead. So Somali immigrants are almost all Democrats, and have shifted left

on social issues, partly out of pragmatism and partly out of the sort of exposure you get when all your friends are liberals.

I am so glad to have Somali-Americans as part of the DFL. (And as part of my city and community.)

Alliances can be a weird and magical thing.
