Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit. pic.twitter.com/500q4acTre— More Perfect Union (@MorePerfectUS) March 17, 2023
Me too, I think the midwestern states have realized they have an opportunity and are taking it. In Michigan The MSU shooting and the insanity of the right leaning candidates and neighbors of most people seems to have finally broken the camels back in the state (also the bast amount of COVID deaths being from republican areas in the state didn’t hurt either).
Like look up the republican governor candidate who was hand picked by Trump she’s hilariously crazy.
Edit: I should also mention that a huge chunk of the Michigan DNC is now composed of/heavily influenced by what in the US political compass would be considered left wing orgs who have done a great job of organizing, protesting, but then also working within the party when the time calls for it to secure changes and security.
Look it ain’t perfect. The top of the state is still deep red and Grand Rapids area is still controlled by Devoss’s awful family the leftists groups on t
he ground there are what this site would call “lib adjacent” for working with the dems and giving ground a bunch but it’s def better then a lot of Midwest states.
Also Michigan is fucking beautiful, lots of nature and parks, Detroit is cool, and it will be the least affected by climate change.
North Michigan is deep red because it's impoverished, neglected and has little to no public infrastructure support outside of the tourist spots. I mean, the wineries ARE rather pretty...
There were so many of them! Also the fact a couple republicans did election fraud while screaming about how the 2020 election was stolen really turned off a lot of center right people.
I talked to a bunch of folks that’s till live in Metri Detroit and it also appears that the suburban center rights who embraced their weirdo neighbors over Trump support remembered that their neighbors were indeed weirdo crazies and have really wanted to avoid being associated with them anymore.

Interesting. I never thought Michigan was a state I’d consider moving to. I’ll see how it evolves by the time I graduate and start a career

actually UP voted more for Biden and dems.
The biggest swap was suburban areas before like around Treverse city.
It’s most likely that the republicans have been too overtly gleeful about making life worse for their base, and it backfired for now.
It’s why everything with the GOP is about attacking trans people. As they are an easy target.
The election denial stuff def played a huge roll in Michigan too.
