If there is any doubt that leftist elected officials consider themselves a deity, check out this MN Legislative session recap from Lucy Rehm (DFL-Chanhassen).
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Matthew 25: 35-36#mnleg

We are a state that welcomes the LGBTQ+ community, those seeking gender affirming care and those needing reproductive care. We are now officially a trans refuge state.

We are removing lead pipes and funding infrastructure so that everyone can access clean drinking water. #mnleg
Mind you Rep. Rehm doesn't represent any part of St Paul or Minneapolis. No, her district consists of Chanhassen and more than half of Chaska. If the constituents in 48B reelect her in 2024 in an area that certainly isn't dark blue, the GOP will have a steep uphill climb in attempting to take the majority in the House.
Again, politics has become a literal religion for leftists, and the kind of commitment they put behind campaigning can not be matched by Republicans. That's not necessarily a dig at the right. The fact is most right-of-center prospective candidates, campaign volunteers and voters put a higher priority on their faith, families and jobs - as they should. Also, with the DFL being flush with financial resources thanks to Super PACs and labor unions, they have campaign staff working year-round on voter contacts, which is the type of operation the MNGOP can not (and never will be able to) match.
The good news is that despite those advantages, the DFL gained only one Senate seat while the majority in the House stayed the same (70-64). I find it hard to believe that a majority of Minnesotans are down with all of the extreme legislation passed in the 2023 session, so Republican House candidates should have their messaging ready to roll into the 2024 cycle. I'm not ready to declare Minnesota a lost cause just yet, but not taking the House next year would certainly expedite such a declaration.
