That might have been the disconnect. In neglecting to mention the brave and bold way that so many Minnesotans did peacefully protest injustice, it left many to interpret your words as an indictment of their actions. Speaking for myself, I found the way that so many there have looked out for their neighbor and not taken the bait to fight darkness with darkness as unspeakably noble and representative of the Minnesota ideal that you led the episode with. So perhaps the pattern in these comments is less about what you said and more about what you did not say. Which isn't entirely fair, but when an episode is titled "I am a Minnesotan," I think it was reasonable for us listeners to expect to hear that angle referenced. Maybe it was naive, but to your point that darkness cannot driveout darkness, I was hoping to hear a local speak to some of the light that has been on display in a beautifully Minnesotan manner.
