    Default In Michigan, a Suburban County That Flipped Blue Isn’t Looking Back

    The shift was partly driven by demographics. A county that was 93 percent white in 1980 was only 75 percent white by 2019. Coupled with that, Mr. Patterson’s goal of turning Oakland County into “Automation Alley,” a landing spot for high tech businesses tied to the automotive industry, lured diverse and highly educated young people with good-paying jobs who in turn, brought their politics.

    “There were a lot of the unintended consequences of Automation Alley,” Mr. Alexander said of Mr. Patterson’s push, which began in the 1990s. “Those tech people moved in and they were younger and more liberal individuals.”

    Michigan people hate the governor there.

    Michiganders hate 2 people the most:

    Muhammed Ali and Gretchen Whitmer. Idk why on the 1st one.

    Any time you want to get a rise out of one and hear some autistic-style cussing, just mention either of those names.

    Find somebody from Michigan and ask them what they think of Gretchen Whitmer..lol!

    A supermajority of the population is not "right militias", dumbass.

    Furthermore, I'm willing to bet that incident was pumped up by the FIB. They got some rubes and pumped them up to arrest them.

    Liberalism eventually turns into leftism which breeds Antifa, homelessness and riots. "Shithole" becomes the best descriptor for places like this.
    Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

    Oakland never "flipped". It's been blue since the 1800s.

    LOL! Probably, but I find triggering snowflakes amusing. You aren't the first or last I've triggered.
