Neighboring States, Different Futures

There is no Berlin Wall or 38^th Parallel separating Lyle, Minnesota, from Mona, Iowa, just 1.4 miles south along 1^st Street, but the two towns are under governments with widely diverging visions. Iowa, once a “purple” state that leaned Democrat is now a “red” conservative state, while Minnesota, long a reliable Democrat state, has taken a radical, leftward turn. These neighbors exemplify the different visions for America that its citizens are likely to be offered in 2024.
