We in the rest of the world have spent a decade staring at the U.S. in disbelief, unable to understand how Americans have allowed these fascists to rise. But now we are able to look to Minnesota, a place where simple sanity and decency seems to unite so much of the citizenry, and take heart from your brave resistance. Thank you for restoring our faith in your democracy, and giving us hope that the world can be set to rights. Please never give up.
