Go here and take a look, please realize that the nasty blue areas are concentrated like Detroit, Flint etc. Much of the state is scarlet red AKA the bible belt of the north many call it. Trump took these townships by over 70% where I live.

Why is this one may ask? It would seem around the state folks (leaning red) just quit going to the polls a few cycles ago, we have a problem with RINOs at all levels of gummit, you see the days of lesser of evils is over for many of us.
That trend doesn’t sound good.
I asked “why?” but of course a relocating decision is difficult and can be problematic beyond the decision to abandon the family area: Such as selling your home & property for an equitible return and finding similar or better in another area at a resonable price. Though, if down-sizing that can help tilt the equation in your favor.
