As a current MN resident, who moved from LA 3 years ago, I'll give you an honest assessment without all the hyperbolistic nonsense people spew on both sides.
Firstly, everything about how woke it is is absolutely correct. You'd be hard pressed to find a more blue haired, self-guilting, sky screaming population in the US outside of maybe Portland and Cali.
The wokeness wanes the further you get from the city, so like most places, the rural areas and most suburbs are generally hard working, country loving folk.
Minnesota "nice" is a sham. People are generally nice, but it's not the friendliness most southerners are used to. There's a local joke that a Minnesotan will give you directions anywhere but their house. If you're an outsider it tends to be difficult to break through.
While the crime is not as bad as LA, there are certainly pockets of dangerous shitholes with regular shootings and the usual suspects doing their normal shenanigans. Petty burglar and car theft is also a big problem near the city.
All that being said, the financial opportunities and economics of the state are eons above LA and many southern states. Cost of living isn't that much higher, yet it's much easier to make a lot of money. Whether that lasts, I don't know, but just look at the prevalence of big companies headquartered here.
Outside of the city center, there is also a high standard of living. People are well off, education is very good, and there's a lot of stuff to do. Those are the reasons it always ranks high in "best places to live" lists.
The reality is you can avoid all the blue haired nonsense you see in the headlines if you really want to. It's not something that affects most people's day to day life aside from just regularly crossing paths with people who ooze wokeness. If that bothers you then sure, it's a shitty place to live. If it doesn't, then it's not that bad.

It’s objectively a safer and better place to live by almost any metric. But it’s WOKE so here we are.

I’m starting to question the whole “Minnesota nice” thing myself.

Would’ve loved to have gone one day.

Minneapolis is sort of like Houston, but cold and liberal.

It’s been liberal for a long time. Walter Mondale came from there. It was the only state to not go for Reagan in BOTH of his elections.

Cities loaded up on Somalias. Elected Ilhan Omar and started to go down. My cousin lives in a red county in Minnesota. The rural areas are red.

1991. The year Poppy Bush made his "New World Order" speech.
By 1992 the US had started shipping off our factories to China, signed onto UN Agenda 21, and committed America to the Kalergi Plan and Cloward-Piven strategy.
Minnesota was sacrificed. (Like CA, OR, and WA on the west coast.) It is morally-corrupt, politically liberal-dominated. The elites chose itto be the American northern tier epicenter of anarchy and chaos .

MN's issues are confined to a very small area. the vast majority of LA/MS/AL have the same problems as the twin cities.
Dude that is just not true. I cant speak for Louisiana because i have not spent any time there but Alabama has some great people and they are spread out in the state. The city has some issues but the outskirts are solid people

Negatory, lived in AL and spent a lot of time in MS then lived in Minnesota. They're not even close.
