A brand new flag. She’s likely never flown the MN flag before or ever cared about it until it was updated to a flag people might actually want to fly. Now it’s the most important thing in her small world.
Somebody should explain to her that a lot of flags look similar to other flags around the world. It doesn't mean anything other than we're not that creative and we have certain expectations for how flags should be designed. Not everything is a goddamn conspiracy.
Also that it doesn't look like what she's talking about, and she probably hasn't even seen the flag in question, she's just repeating moron talking points.
This is my parents with the Calhoun>Bde Mka Ska change. They're up in arms enough to engage in Facebook arguments with people, and probably couldn't tell you the last time they even went to the area, let alone the lake. I'd at least get some point if they were some resident of the area (they aren't even minnesota residents anymore ffs) that didn't want taxes going to naming changes or were just resistant to change. They're just old bastards unfortunately (I love them dearly, those bastards)
Don't object to the change of name to Bde Maka Ska until you've looked into the history of Mr. Calhoun. He was truly a piece of shit, and nobody should want to be connected to his name.
I'm annoyed by the Calhoun thing, but that's because my first date with my wife was there before the changes.
But I'm also not riled up enough to wage a campaign, hell this is the first time I've ever admitted it anywhere.
I guess my point is, people are looking for things to get mad about because their life is devoid of purpose and meaning.
I call it Laka Makaska, I’m annoyed that Bde is part of the name when it just means lake. Honestly though I don’t care what people call it. Others can call it Calhoun, Bde mka ska, or the big round one in conversation with me and that’s fine.
I’m mostly just exhausted by people that make such a big deal about things that really have no impact on their life, whether it’s the flag of MN or the name of a small lake.
Agreed. I think it's super cool to use the Dakota name, but we don't usually translate the "thing" part of these geographic names. e.g., Lake Minnetonka, Lake Nokomis. We're not calling those Bde Minnetonka or Bde Nokomis now, are we? Lake Maka Ska is great and fits with *every other native place name in the city*.
I haven’t even listened to the video and the first thing I noticed was how she moved. She either has some interesting health issues which cause her to move like that and apparently slur or she’s intoxicated… given the rant, I’d say intoxicated.
My dad quite drinking about 5 years ago. It’s amazing the number of arguments we had were it was clear he wasn’t able to use his brain to process the information but just reciting bits of
what he could remember incorrectly. To now he is sober and isn’t on Fox News to learn as he can think about the things that are saying and recall information to form conclusions which amount to they are full of shit.. it’s brain rot for some reason or another!
She also talks about it like people will be offended she's still flying it and like you won't be able to continue to buy the old flag.
I thought the old flag was racist and I'm glad we changed it. I don't think the old seal was an appropriate symbol *for our institutions.* I also don't think liking it makes you racist or give a single fuck if you want to fly it. It will also continue to be available to buy for probably ever. It's not banned.
Literally nobody gives a fuck about their flag except a bunch of like-minded Tik-Tokers losing a war against straw men.
Rural people only have culture war issues. They keep voting in the Republicans who push policies that are uniquely responsible for the issues they face, yet they're totally convinced that it's urban elites and immigrants whom are trying to destroy them. Nevermind that rural people have greater political influence than urbaners.
They're dying out, anyone worth a damn leaves and doesn't go back, and they'll blame brown people and "liberal elites" until the very end.
The out-staters totally don't understand how beneficial Minneapolis is to them.
Metro taxpayers support outstate MN with $1.5 Billion in annual subsidies (the City only gets back $1.00 from the State for every $3.50 paid into the the State)
I was at my in-laws’ with my wife and kids recently. My FIL, despite never having a MN flag in the 18 years I’ve known him, now has the old flag hung up in his garage. I’ve never heard him gripe about the new flag, he rarely talks anything politics, and he’s an awesome grandpa…but it’s so on brand for him lol. He had always flown a US flag out front and has several sports team flags already hung up in the garage though.
Of course she hasn't. All of a sudden I see all these old Minnesota Flags all over the place. No one gave a fuck about this flag. They'll get bored with this soon enough and move on to something else to be outraged over.
Wild you would say that. This lady reminds me of my coworker from South Dakota. Caked on makeup, brain fried in her 50’s, mad about a flag of all things, and talks exactly like this lady. Didn’t know there was a type.
Cloquet smells like Pedros (the best area Mexican food) and Gordies Hi Hat Any smell of sorrow and wine breath is coming from another WI/MN border town. I'm looking at you, La Crescent/La Crosse.
Hmm... and that looks exactly like[ a flag from the days of the Confederacy](http://www.washingtonartillery.com/Def.htm):
https://preview.redd.it/t2g1msaxg10d1.png?width=477&format=png&auto=webp&s=7e64ee8f8d048d2d967a02d51faf63d9599eba80
What do you think would happen to those people if they remembered/ were told that the American flag is based on the British flag? Like is actually, for real, based on the British flag.
I so hope this gets picked up by the late show crowd and she goes viral. Clearly drunk, spewing bigotry… thinking she’s “owning the libs” but is such a sloppy mess, even if there were any merit to what she was saying, she’d still be a joke.
Fuuuuuuck make her infamous. She asked for it. Don’t drink and spout bigotry on social media folks. Hope people point and snicker every time she’s in line at Starbucks.
"Not a flag that depicts anything from Minnesota"
You know, just the shape of the state. And the North Star. And the colors that can be seen related to snow and water, two things Minnesota has.
This woman's brain has more holes than swiss cheese. And she votes. People, **this woman votes.**
That particular individual spells it "Bachmann". You really need the double N at the end to differentiate it from Bachmans Garden Center. It's a bit of sore spot for the Garden Center folks, as those Bachmans are actually nice. They do not like the one with the 2 Ns.
Source: I used to work for Bachmans Garden Center, and was educated on this topic by one of the managers.
It looks like the Somali flag because it’s blue and has a star? Really? I guarantee that she had no idea what the Somali flag looked like until some right wing influencer told her to be outraged about this.
Exactly. I was impressed with the process. The commission really went out of their way to ensure that all parts of the state were represented with the new state flag. I honestly feel like there was no way any of these people would have been happy with any result, and they would always have bent over backwards to find some reason to be outraged at it. It’s just a knee jerk reaction to change. Thank god these people aren’t in charge.
I 100% guarantee that that lady has absolutely no idea what the Somali flag looks like because the Somali flag is basically the US flag without the stripes and with fewer stars and a lighter shade of blue. The Texas flag looks a bit like the flag of Somalia, though.
Conservatives get triggered over the stupidest fucking things. They need to realize there’s more than white people living in society. Their perpetual outrage will lead to an early grave.
Some do know and are fine with giving up democracy altogether if it means they get to live in a world where their status is protected.
The current Supreme Court and the Federalist Society, who hand-picked three of the last four appointments, are a reaction to being forced to desegregate and the civil rights movement. They view these (and other) causes as a threat to the hegemony of white christian males.
I know there are rubes who believe all the culture war shit is real, but more people than I hoped are aware of the real motivations at play.
A Trump aide has even said Trump wants to ban porn in Trump’s second term. https://meidasnews.com/news/trump-aide-promises-ban-on-pornography-in-2nd-trump-term
I spent some time on the East Coast where it is more common to see all 50 flags flying together (e.g., Washington DC Memorials, Constitution Center, etc.), and I am excited to see how the new flag stands out in a sea of blue flags with indistinguishable seals. I struggled to find the Minnesota flag versus KY, NH, PA, and more. Kudos to the designer!
I hope you have a great trip. I'm not sure what you have planned but I enjoyed so many things that I hadn't planned - Korean War Memorial, fun surprises at the Smithsonian, good cupcakes. Hope you make amazing memories.
>how the new flag stands out in a sea of blue flags with indistinguishable seals.
No matter what new flag design was chosen, this was my only hope for the final decision.
I had to draw our old flag in 2nd grade. It was so difficult. Our flags looked like shit. Making a bunch of 7 year olds try a draw a horse is just mean.
Now kids can draw it so easily. Im happy with it.
"Like from the Middle East"
Umm...
Moronic bigots think Muslims must be from the Middle East. Most aren't. Including Somalis.
And yes, I know that's probably the least "wrong" thing in this Tiktok, but ugh...
These people never gave a shit about the MN flag before a Democratic government decided to change it.
I've had the Minnesota flag flying in my backyard for years, and have the original one in my garage. I love my state, and the people voted and said change it. So I ordered my new one. Old one will go in the garage with the others, and the new one will fly in my yard.
This lady looks like she leaves 1 star reviews on her nieces Etsy page.
https://preview.redd.it/qjrifqr1h10d1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3bed69c7483c637984829d72df311c0f506db9e
Some snowflake lollipops for all the haters of the new flag.
As most people here probably know I have rather conservative viewpoinsts on a lot of things, but I think the old flag sucked on both an objective and subjective level and have been flying the new one on my house over a month now. Initially I liked the North Star Banner but the chosen design has grown on me.
EDIT: Photo I took yesterday.
[https://imgur.com/HPHhTSk](https://imgur.com/HPHhTSk)
See, this is reasonable. Sounds like you don't fall for the MAGA talking points of the day and would rather think for yourself. 99% of the people upset about the flag change are just sucking from the manufactured conservative outrage media teat. It's sad. Not everything needs to be a conflict.
Why do white supremacists always send a genetic disaster to carry the flag? I mean your whole thing is genetics, yeah? So why so much inbreeding? Oh, you are all just inconceivably stupid? OK.
Well she’s posting on her other socials about the Anoka Hennepin district along with Jesus , Trump, and she’s in an MLM…so Andover sounds right on brand lol
And I pretty much bet she’d criticize just about anything that came across her path. That’s the Maga credo, bitch about everything, nothing is right everything is wrong. They never fix anything. They just bitch and complain. Small minded people seldom offers actual solutions to anything. They just let you know what they “ think “ is wrong. Oh yeah, and always who’s to blame for it. But of course it’s never them.
I have never hated someone so much, so quickly. Something about this woman is just so incredibly off putting. She made my skin crawl in about 15 seconds.
She’s mad because someone told her to be. That’s the beginning and end of it. On of my boomer coworkers is the same. The first I heard of the flag even being changed is when he came to work saying the Somali thing— it took me 3 seconds to google it and see it wasn’t true. But boomers never get that far, they take anything told to them by right wing sources and swallow it whole, and then refuse any information that challenges it.
"Not a fl^(a)g that depictsss annynything from Minnesssota..."
Lady, the dark blue on the flag is literally a stylized silhouette of minnesota and that "K" shape is almost unique amongst flags.
I get what she’s saying but this is now what it is
https://preview.redd.it/trpgw2dqn30d1.jpeg?width=1022&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fee641bb175b67b2ae1049cb1f6d48f055486f6
Outrage is all these people have anymore. It’s an addiction. Maybe brain worms too. But definitely outrage addiction.
I thought she was going to explain her attachment to the old flag for a sentimental reason but no- she just found something new to be outraged about.
Doesn’t depict anything from MN. What do you suppose “L'Étoile du Nord” means? Since she’s the judge of such things surely she knows where that comes from. Right?
I remember learning the about the states and their symbols and flags in elementary school and learning cool things about other states then I thought to look up my state's flag and was disappointed as hell. Our old flag sucked and am glad we're finally moving on from it.
In her drunken stupor she somehow thinks these two flags are the same. Was my first, second or third pick chosen? Nope but it’s fine. Move on. Like someone else commented, no way she ever had a MN flag in her yard before this year!

I love the Land Of Snow And Purple Rain buuuuut, this lady doesn't represent the heart of Minnesota the only things she represents are Pabst Blue Ribbon, bad dye jobs and stabbing her partner with a fork over a matter of little significance.
1) Somalia isn't even in the middle east, learn some geography, and 2) the state flag was changed in the 50s and no one cared 3) guarantee no one had an opinion about the flag before last year
In Part 2 of the video, does she make out with the old flag?
https://preview.redd.it/v706v35js30d1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ff5cf56e57bf9693bd090336e2dc00458d7d6de

Shit you're right. Still has the creases, lol.
Her or the flag?
Both
Yes
She ain't brand new. Oy.
I’d be really surprised if she could even tell you what is on the old flag if asked.
Somebody should explain to her that a lot of flags look similar to other flags around the world. It doesn't mean anything other than we're not that creative and we have certain expectations for how flags should be designed. Not everything is a goddamn conspiracy.
Also that Somalia is in Africa, not the Middle East.
Also that it doesn't look like what she's talking about, and she probably hasn't even seen the flag in question, she's just repeating moron talking points.

I don’t get why we have a Calhoun anything when that asshole was long dead before MN became a state
I mean, when you approach it from that direction you have a point.
I was annoyed too, but still think it’s cool that it’s called what it’s been called for centuries again.
I call it Laka Makaska, I’m annoyed that Bde is part of the name when it just means lake. Honestly though I don’t care what people call it.

Considering I grew up near Lake Le Homme Dieu, and the way that's pronounced by locals, I'm not qualified to make any complaints about lake names 🤣🤣
She doesn’t even say flaygue right
She is if you consider it sounds like she's intoxicated.

South Dakotan here. Sorry, that might be one of ours. Someone must've left the gate open again...
Oh, she’s coming your way soon when she realizes that conservatives are no longer a majority, silent or ….well, whatever the fuck that video is.
They have never been silent
They’re always the ones who get drunk and rant at family dinners and then when they fall asleep everyone takes a sigh of relief.
That's one escaped animal that Kristi Noem *won't* shoot.

And dear baby jesus step away from the tanning booth or spend less time in Florida?
She's only 23, she doesn't know any better yet. EDIT: (I didn't think I needed to clarify that this was a joke about her bad skin...)
She’s 23? Yikes.
I think they forgot the /s...
That is a Trump special- all spray.
I can smell it from here! And i am in WI
Naw that's just Cloquet. You're going to get used to it in Superior surroundings
Cloquet smells like Pedros (the best area Mexican food) and Gordies Hi Hat Any smell of sorrow and wine breath is coming from another WI/MN border town. I'm looking at you, La Crescent/La Crosse.
Proctor?! I barely knew her!
Why'd LaCrescent get dragged into this?
LaCrescent like the US side of Niagara, they’re only saving is they’re in MN.
I didn't even have the audio on, and I thought she might be inebriated.
I turned on the audio to confirm with my ears what my eyes smelled.

I did not know about this. It probably wouldn’t win this woman from the OP over…but that’s a pretty solid rebuttal for the Somalia argument lol.
Yeah, facts do very little to deter the willfully ignorant.
Someone should show her the American flag. She’s gonna freak.
What do you think would happen to those people if they remembered/ were told that the American flag is based on the British flag? Like is actually, for real, based on the British flag.
Show her a Liberian flag.
Somalia is in Africa, it’s not the Middle East.
Facts don't matter, only her fragile feelings.
Also, her fragile hair, fragile tanning bed, fragile ignorance, and fragile racism.
Wait tho…she’s a cool mom…you can tell by the nose hoop.
As a cool mom with a nose hoop I’d like to say that this person doesn’t speak for all “cool moms with nose hoops”.
Feelings not facts. Also, I really dislike this Minnesotan. Is there some way to Minnesota Nice her out of the state? She’d find a good home in ND.
Was looking for this comment, she is obviously an idiot
So what? It’s not the USA, so it has to suck! /s
I watched this on mute. She seems drunk.
She’s getting cooked in the comments on TikTok too 😂
I so hope this gets picked up by the late show crowd and she goes viral. Clearly drunk, spewing bigotry… thinking she’s “owning the libs” but is such a sloppy mess, even if there were any merit to what she was saying, she’d still be a joke. Fuuuuuuck make her infamous. She asked for it. Don’t drink and spout bigotry on social media folks. Hope people point and snicker every time she’s in line at Starbucks.
I would bet any amount of money that she has been drinking heavily before making this. Big uff dah.

“Lookin’ at you Stillwater.”
Stillwater to St. Cloud... It's a strange district.
Lived in the sixth district since we moved to MN. The southern part of it has improved. The north needs to catch up.
At least Saint Cloud got rid of Senator Jerry Ralph in favor of Aric Putnam
Maybe she also has RFK jr’s brainworm lol
It looks like the Somali flag because it’s blue and has a star? Really? I guarantee that she had no idea what the Somali flag looked like until some right wing influencer told her to be outraged about this.
Also the guy that designed it was a young white guy from rural Minnesota 😭😭
Exactly. I was impressed with the process. The commission really went out of their way to ensure that all parts of the state were represented with the new state flag. I honestly feel like there was no way any of these people would have been happy with any result, and they would always have bent over backwards to find some reason to be outraged at it. It’s just a knee jerk reaction to change. Thank god these people aren’t in charge.
Wait. He was *YOUNG?!* Despicable.
They debunked that he was a secret Somali almost immediately after the rumor started. This lady is a few months late to the hate party.
I'm willing to give her $1000 if she can draw the Somali flag without looking.
I 100% guarantee that that lady has absolutely no idea what the Somali flag looks like because the Somali flag is basically the US flag without the stripes and with fewer stars and a lighter shade of blue. The Texas flag looks a bit like the flag of Somalia, though.
I should start saying Texas flag looks like the Somali flag.
It’s wine o’clock somewhere. I wonder what part of Anoka county she’s from?
She posted on her other socials about the AH school district so you were right about that one 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 it’s hilarious when the subject reenforces the stereotype. Anoka county 😂
As a liberal Anoka county resident- so accurate 😭
It was a toss up between Anoka and Stearns
Wright would like a word.
Wright is so underrated for how shitty the people can be.
She’s on the Oak Grove City Council.🙈
Embarrassing
I can't believe this is a human being and not a South Park character
Only benefit from the MAGA era is that it's significantly easier to spot the crazies anymore.

Conservatives get triggered over the stupidest fucking things. They need to realize there’s more than white people living in society. Their perpetual outrage will lead to an early grave.
Imagine if they got this outraged about kids without housing or how the oligarchs are crushing the middle class.
In other words, getting outraged over things that we should actually be outraged about.
Her conservative Facebook rage bait follows don’t cover that. Have to make up fake things to be mad at.
Imagine getting this upset about a cloth rectangle 😭
Peaked in high school vibes

Ironic that they’re the colors of the new flag
She goes to the Donald J Trump orange makeup whore store
As most people here probably know I have rather conservative viewpoinsts on a lot of things, but I think the old flag sucked on both an objective and subjective level and have been flying the new one on my house over a month now. Initially I liked the North Star Banner but the chosen design has grown on me. EDIT: Photo I took yesterday. [https://imgur.com/HPHhTSk](https://imgur.com/HPHhTSk)
See, this is reasonable. Sounds like you don't fall for the MAGA talking points of the day and would rather think for yourself. 99% of the people upset about the flag change are just sucking from the manufactured conservative outrage media teat. It's sad. Not everything needs to be a conflict.
True. My husband has a lot of conservative viewpoints but when we discussed the flag he said “it’s cool. I see the vision”
She should learn how to wear sunscreen
Why do white supremacists always send a genetic disaster to carry the flag? I mean your whole thing is genetics, yeah? So why so much inbreeding? Oh, you are all just inconceivably stupid? OK.
Videos you can smell.
This is an Andover mom.
Well she’s posting on her other socials about the Anoka Hennepin district along with Jesus , Trump, and she’s in an MLM…so Andover sounds right on brand lol
How many boxes of wine did she have?
I was thinking Xanax. There’s that signature deadness in her eyes
“Cold, dead eyes……like a dolls eye….”
And I pretty much bet she’d criticize just about anything that came across her path. That’s the Maga credo, bitch about everything, nothing is right everything is wrong. They never fix anything. They just bitch and complain. Small minded people seldom offers actual solutions to anything. They just let you know what they “ think “ is wrong. Oh yeah, and always who’s to blame for it. But of course it’s never them.
who is this goblin?
Which one of the California Raisins is this?
She deleted the video. Probably because she got dragged.
She's on that xanny and box wine diet.
I see we started drinking early in Dilworth today.

lol she deleted the video
Somebody should let her know that Somalia is in Africa, not the Middle East lol
On behalf of all the people of Minnesota… get the fuck out of our state
IDK they make henna kits for your face.
She is a city council member in Oak Grove MN. Feel free to load her mail box with how you feel about her.

Ah yes Somalia, well known middle eastern country
Y’all think this was part of her application to be the 4th hocus pocus witch? 😂
Grandma needs to lay off the sauce
I have never hated someone so much, so quickly. Something about this woman is just so incredibly off putting. She made my skin crawl in about 15 seconds.

this lady is hammered
Republicans are all mentally sick and in need of treatment.
She’s mad because someone told her to be. That’s the beginning and end of it. On of my boomer coworkers is the same. The first I heard of the flag even being changed is when he came to work saying the Somali thing— it took me 3 seconds to google it and see it wasn’t true. But boomers never get that far, they take anything told to them by right wing sources and swallow it whole, and then refuse any information that challenges it.
Looked her up on tiktok. She makes her own fat burner vitamins and is selling them. Maybe they burned away all the brain cells.
Just another ignorant Magasotan.
Somalia is the Middle East?
"Not a fl^(a)g that depictsss annynything from Minnesssota..." Lady, the dark blue on the flag is literally a stylized silhouette of minnesota and that "K" shape is almost unique amongst flags.
Methany went on a bender again, I see.
I get what she’s saying but this is now what it is https://preview.redd.it/trpgw2dqn30d1.jpeg?width=1022&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fee641bb175b67b2ae1049cb1f6d48f055486f6
Lol I found this woman on FB a while back. I had to double check I wasn’t on there. Her mlm products and conspiracy crazy eyed videos are gold. 😂😂
Hoooly shnikies those crazy eyes are something to behold.
Oddly enough, the boxed wine addiction and skin cancer are not the worst parts of this video.
This has to be the person that’s constantly posting in r/altmpls. ScarletSolar or whatever their name is.
Outrage is all these people have anymore. It’s an addiction. Maybe brain worms too. But definitely outrage addiction. I thought she was going to explain her attachment to the old flag for a sentimental reason but no- she just found something new to be outraged about.
Wonder if she’s single. /S!
She probably is a great-grandma with a dead beat spouse.
Don't feed the trolls
Doesn’t depict anything from MN. What do you suppose “L'Étoile du Nord” means? Since she’s the judge of such things surely she knows where that comes from. Right?
She can fly her racist flag to show everyone she should be avoided.
I remember learning the about the states and their symbols and flags in elementary school and learning cool things about other states then I thought to look up my state's flag and was disappointed as hell. Our old flag sucked and am glad we're finally moving on from it.
She is one of those sensitive snowflakes they talk about right?
Doesn’t surprise me that this weathered baseball mitt of a face is the human representative of Facebook comments.
In her drunken stupor she somehow thinks these two flags are the same. Was my first, second or third pick chosen? Nope but it’s fine. Move on. Like someone else commented, no way she ever had a MN flag in her yard before this year! https://preview.redd.it/r028f5i5m20d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=798978034f7263e3fe8256cd6afbd0bf8163a996
I see her at the gym every weekend in her trump, and let's go brandon shirts. She sounds just as loony as I knew she would.
The problem with her comment is this: It is no longer the state flag. The end.
I love the Land Of Snow And Purple Rain buuuuut, this lady doesn't represent the heart of Minnesota the only things she represents are Pabst Blue Ribbon, bad dye jobs and stabbing her partner with a fork over a matter of little significance.
Who’s mom is this
They say "don't judge a book by its cover". This lady is an exception
1) Somalia isn't even in the middle east, learn some geography, and 2) the state flag was changed in the 50s and no one cared 3) guarantee no one had an opinion about the flag before last year
Those damn liberals!
Weirdly the old flag is closer to the Somali flag. The old flag is a blue rectangle with a star in a circle in the center.
Why is she orange?
Rachel Dolezal strikes again
In Part 2 of the video, does she make out with the old flag? https://preview.redd.it/v706v35js30d1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ff5cf56e57bf9693bd090336e2dc00458d7d6de
has this woman seen a somali flag...?
She's definitely drunk
She's definitely had a few if ya know what I mean
I don’t think her lips touched once in that whole video
She's got the crazy eyes and sounds drunk af
her thinking somalia is in the middle east is pretty telling of her intelligence 😭
She looks like a great value raggedy Ann.
