The Sanity Scam

Dear Minnesotans,

Have you recognized the pattern yet?

Are you seeing through the lies, the half-truths, the noise, the parlor tricks, and the opaque business relationships that the criminal syndicate uses every single day to hide its thieving and grifting?

Because right now a familiar cast is running the exact same playbook — only this time the name tags say “conservative” and the signs say “proven winner.”

Dustin Grage, the self-anointed “guy with the receipts,” has turned his platform into a nonstop purity test against Mike Lindell. The lines are consistent: Lindell is “trailing Klobuchar by 20 points” while “sitting on less than $50K.” His immigration proposals are “mass amnesty.” “People need to get behind Lisa Demuth.” A Lindell nomination risks a Democrat trifecta. Selective clips and consultant metrics get elevated into the main test of conservatism, while the actual primary numbers showing Lindell leading get treated as inconvenient noise.

Lisa Demuth runs the identical script in her own words: “In Mike Lindell’s own words: illegal immigrants ‘don’t have to leave — ever’ — sounds like amnesty to me. Mike Lindell wants amnesty… Both are wrong for Minnesota.” She sells herself as the “proven fighter” who will end the theft of tax dollars and deliver “Minnesota’s Comeback.”

Restore Sanity, the independent-expenditure outfit operating out of a PO Box in Circle Pines, pays for the signs that scream “LISA DEMUTH PROVEN WINNER. LEADING THE MINNESOTA COMEBACK.” Their own disclaimer insists the spending is “not coordinated with or approved by any candidate.” Opaque vehicle. High-follower amplifier. Candidate benefit without fingerprints. If that structure looks familiar, it should. It is the same layered protection the nonprofit grifters and DFL machine have used for years.

Now look at the record that sits underneath the current branding.

On July 20, 2020, during the Second Special Session, then-Representative Lisa Demuth voted YEA on House Resolution 1. The official House vote record lists her among the 82 yes votes. You can read it yourself here: https://www.house.mn.gov/votes/Details?BillNumber=HR0001&SessionKey=253

The resolution declared racism a public health crisis. It stated race is a “social construct with no biological basis,” that racism is “embedded in the foundation of America, beginning with chattel slavery in 1619,” and that systemic racism structures opportunity based on appearance. It required an “intersectional” approach covering immigration status, gender, and LGBTQ+ communities. It committed the House to “actively participate in the dismantling of racism,” created a Select Committee to run legislation through an “intersectional race equity lens,” and directed internal reviews of hiring, promotions, leadership, and vendor selection through that same lens.

This was not a mild statement against prejudice. It was an institutional endorsement of the full systemic-racism and equity framework that later flowed into schools, training, budgeting, and policy. Demuth was one of the few Republicans who crossed over to support it.

That vote is on the permanent record. The same figure now packaged as the purest, most electable, most “proven” conservative is the one who, when the cultural heat was highest, voted for the ideological package many of those same voices later claimed to reject. Meanwhile the current primary energy is spent purity-testing Lindell with selective clips and cash-on-hand lectures.

So here is the key question that will not go away:

How are we supposed to trust the people who claim to be the best purity-testing experts when they are using the exact same sick tactics the criminal syndicate uses to hide its thieving and grifting?

Opaque spending. Selective outrage. Half-truth clips elevated into disqualifiers. Institutional protection dressed up as electability. Division of the only force that might actually threaten the status quo. Call it sanity. Call it proven leadership. Call it the Minnesota Comeback. The practical effect is the same: the primary looting machine stays protected while the opposition is kept busy fighting itself.

This is not politics as usual.

This is right versus wrong.

Good versus evil.

Working families, farmers, veterans, and parents who watched their schools and tax dollars get looted do not need another managed opposition that talks tough after the fact. They need leaders who refuse to soft-pedal the full dismantling of the networks still stealing from them. The constitutional republic is not restored by elevating the candidate who looks safest to the consultants and the institutional class. It is restored when Minnesotans stop rewarding the secondary layers that keep the primary grift alive.

Recognize the pattern.

See through the noise.

Choose wisely.

August 11 is the first test.
