Life in a one party town -- local moral vanity edition

That'll show 'em:

Donald Trump should stay away from St. Paul, a city with a rich history of accepting immigrants and refugees, a City Council member said Thursday.

Dai Thao is sponsoring a resolution at Wednesday’s council meeting that condemns Trump’s “anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant” statements. The New York billionaire, who currently is leading Republican presidential polls, would be declared unwelcome in St. Paul if the City Council approves the resolution.

“We don’t have any authority to kick him out, but we’ll send a strong message that that sort of bigotry isn’t accepted here,” Thao said. “We won’t stand by to let him try to divide our community.”
Meaningless gestures are always a growth industry in a one party town.

The DFL calliope played
And the people drank the kool-aid
And the kabuki lasted all day, all day
And through an open window came
the talking points and memes for the day
Pushing the truth away, ah

Life in a one party town...
