Well, I can tell you we've seen a huge Trump following in MI. My hubby & I rv throughout MI during summer months (our home is in Texas). We've traveled all over MI for the last 2+ months (currently in the far north upper peninsula) and have seen a ton of Trump yard signs & flags. We stopped counting the Trump signs because there's just too many so now we only count the Harris signs. So far, we've only seen 3 Harris/Walz signs. We've turned it into an I-Spy game. Lol. Normally, I wouldn't put much weight on this except for the fact political yard signs are a much bigger thing here in MI than TX. They're everywhere.

I'm editing this to add another observation. The 3 Harris/Walz signs we've seen were in the yards of obviously wealthy residents. We've seen many Trump/Vance signs in the yards of some of the most poverty stricken areas and tons throughout more of the middle class areas.

VERY VERY interesting. But it makes sense. The dems have definitely become the party of the elites.

They have become they party of "cheat". How do you think Whitmore was re-elected when she wouldn't even let her citizens buy seeds to grow their own food?

Yes because they are the ones who benefit the most from Democrat policies.

Loved reading your comment LuAnne! Now if there can only be a semblance of honesty in the vote outcome!

Do you know how lucky you are to be spending your summer up north?!? Texas is HOT 🥵, our temperature yesterday was 107°, today a cooler 103°. We’re praying for the break which is predicted to come in a couple of days. 🙏🏻

Lol. Yes, we definitely know how lucky we are. We're both retired now and we had originally planned to move back to MI (our home state) after our retirements but we haven't had the guts to pull the trigger because we're scared to move to a majority democrat run state. Texas has been our home for 40 yrs and it's treated us, and our children & grandkids, very well. We love Texas but summers are becoming more difficult to endure so we agreed to spend summers in MI in our rv and the rest of the year at home, in Texas. This is our 3rd summer doing this. We still have the urge to make the move to MI but we want to wait and see how the election goes in Nov. We feel safer in TX.

Well I selfishly hope you’ll remain Texans…after all you have the best of both worlds with your current arrangement. And I want to hang onto conservative Texas voters. I fear that we’ve been invaded by too many liberals and our beloved red state could turn blue!
