      Observations: Not sure people realize the extent to which the Northeast is becoming more diverse (except Maine/NH/VT which rank toward the bottom of the list). MN is diversifying more quickly than WI and MI, which might hedge against it becoming a tipping-point state like WI/MI.

      Hm. But mightn't increased diversity in MN make white population more conservative? I mean, that's Trump's gambit & why he's stoking fear of Somali immigrants in MN in particular.

          If a population is both shrinking and becoming more conservative at about the same rate, then it's a wash.

          I don’t think it makes people vote more conservative. Speaking as someone who grew up in St. Cloud, the center of the white backlash in MN, it just makes the people who were quiet about their racism louder. They’d be voting R anyway.

          Also worth keeping in mind that my congressperson growing up was Michelle Bachman

          It could but it hasn’t. Senate and governor elections in 2018 had Dems ahead by 10 points! Even Keith Ellison won by 4 points for AG while dealing with a lot of controversy.

          I feel like Keith Ellison winning statewide suggests we’re doing all right up here.

          The issue is that suburban whites who originally moved there for white flight reasons are 1) Moving away from Trump especially college educated ones 2) Are actually now more likely to visit the city than visit rural America Cities just aren't that scary anymore

          That’s his gambit, but the law of diminishing returns kicks in eventually. It’s like raising prices at a bar - you lose customers, but the ones you keep pay more. It works until it doesn’t.

          It is... in mn for much of the past, the farmers, miners and rural pop was largely DFL, MN's Democratic party... this has been changing over the last several years as the rural areas have been turning
