Lean D. 2016 was the last time it [St. Louis County] voted more Democratic than the nation for a while.
It is going to be hilarious quoting you in two years.
You clearly don't understand Duluth.
But BRTD, do any of us honestly, truly, understand Duluth?
I do. I understand Duluth so God damned well. I literally have blood clots shaped like Duluth in my veins. Duluth, or “down the shore” is a mystical, ephemeral place shrouded in fog and summer chill. It is full of weird 60 year old extra pale people who act like they live “in da big city ya don’tcha know”.
Duluth has been turning itself around and on the up and up since about 1930 except that brief period between 1930 and the present where things just kinda went to sh**t or stagnated.
Duluth is a real nice place to live if you don’t need a job or decent weather or you really really like to live in an old house in a former industrial hotspot now propped up by colleges, tourism, and the draining wealth of stupid people who “want to open a restaurant in Duluth”.
It’s a tough place to understand. But even in its stagnant state, it looks like a boom town compared to a drive up US Hwy 169 through “da heart of da Raynch” where the average home was built in 1911 when their population peaked and they’ve been clamoring and nostalgacizing about “da good old days” ever since. But it’s okay cuz chopsticks factories, hockey museums, and a hokey educational “theme park” whose main business is elementary schools from around the region is gonna keep this place alive forever!
