Here in Oregon the last time the Dems tried to ram vaccine mandate nonsense through the legislature (along with a carbon tax that would have decimated local industries), the Reps all went home and refused to return to pass anything (like state budgets) until some of their demands were met, including removal of the vaccine mandates.
I'm not sure if MN has a quorum requirement that would make that effective, but it could work.
I'm a bit surprised by the lack of a red wave. I do think that the red team *could have* had their wave if they had a) universally accepted the outcome of the 2020 election, b) distanced themselves from Trump, and c) not chosen an election year to reverse Roe v. Wade. But...what can I say - both parties tend to shoot themselves in the foot when they are ahead.
I spent the first 23 years of my life in Minnesota and most of my family is there - here's hoping it doesn't join the more extreme blue team insanity.
