Tea at Trianon: Why Minnesota Is the Warning

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Why Minnesota Is the Warning

From Tierney's Real News:

There are roughly 1.3 million Democrat voters in Minnesota. Therefore turnout for Democrats was roughly 54%. There are roughly 1.4 million Republican voters in Minnesota. Therefore turnout for Republicans was roughly 29%. Would you pat the Minnesota Republican RINO party on the back for this result? I would not. THE MATH DOESN’T LIE.
In 2016, Trump got 1,322,951 votes in Minnesota while Hillary got 1,367,716. If you add in the Libertarian votes, the total conservative vote in Minnesota exceeded 1.5 MILLION. So, yes, there ARE that many Republican voters in Minnesota! I contend that the Minnesota Republican party is a bunch of RINOS and Koch Libertarians who confuse and fracture conservatives voters to reduce turnout and instill complacency and apathy - to help Democrats win!
The Minnesota GOP endorsed Kendall Qualls (in 3rd place) to split the conservative vote. Then, like clockwork, the Minnesota GOP RINOS came out with a bogus campaign accusing Mike of being for amnesty - just a few days before the election. In addition, DeMuth is the one who is actually for amnesty - she said so herself! Then she framed Mike for HER stance! RIGGED. (Read more.)
