Minnesota is in a bit of trouble. Take a look at what kind of nutjob is running for governor:
John Charles Wilson announced on Tuesday that he would run for mayor of Minneapolis with the support of his newly founded political party, the Edgertonite National Party. Wilson says part of the reason he is running is to “unseat local officials who condoned police brutality at the [Republican National Convention].” He calls Minneapolis’ current mayor “Raymond Thomas ‘Tear Gas’ Rybak.”Wilson’s Edgertonite National Party is based on the Lauraist religion, a movement he created that believes Laura Ingalls Wilder is God and that the Lauraist homeland will occupy an area within a 240-mile radius of Minneapolis.
“A new nation, to be called Edgerton, with its capital at Minneapolis, should be created on the land from approximately Hibbing to Des Moines, and from Fargo to Madison,” says Wilson’s campaign Web site.
Communism is the mode of government of said nation, with an abolition of all laws except those necessary for public safety.
Wilson has written two books, “The Principles of Lauraism” and “The Conscience of a Communist.”
...
Wilson says he was institutionalized in the early 1980s because of his political and religious beliefs.
No. Shit.
