Gabriela Jelinek, a 32-year-old marketer from Grand Rapids who took meetings at her day job while waiting for the rally at the park, said she had begun gaming out how she would survive a Trump victory.

“Truthfully, I have thought about moving out of the country,
” she said. “I’ve also thought about having to marry a friend in order to protect my assets as a single woman.”

Why?

“Like a male friend — in order to make sure my life is protected, because I feel like we’ll be going to times where we need male permission to do everything.”

Mary Harig, a 64-year-old retired registered nurse who wore a “Cat Ladies for Kamala” T-shirt, had progressed even further in her talks with her husband, who didn’t have long left as a postal service worker before he could retire.

Haven't been to Michigan in a couple of years. Michigan is the gay state and Wisconsin is the hunter/manly state. Saugatuk and Douglas are massive gay enclaves. I'd put Douglas at about 30-40% gay. Not a joke.

Michigan is just weird. A chunk of the state is separated in the UP north of WI. It should just be WI. Two major D1 universities attracts liberals. I just don't like MI. Plus the traffic getting around the lake is like getting raped multiple times in one trip. WI built out I90/39 to the max so getting north is much easier.

But to the OP, Michigan is a cat lady state is what I'm saying.

The only thing I know about Michigan is the way they make the O into an Ah in some words is a major turnoff.

"I wanna suck your Caaaaahk" is a boner buster for me.

That's a Canadian and Chicago blend of accent. I have the most normal bland accent. Wife has a 50% influence of Chicahhhhgo since she grew up just outside of it. So I get what you're saying.

Now I have a Canadian BIL and catch myself say ah/eh all the time. It doesn't take much. It's weird. Hang out of a day and you start talking like them. Usually goes away, but some things stick around. Totally another topic on regional linguistics.

Painting the world with the broad strokes of Feminist/Lesbian Borderline Personality Disorder with TDS dressing is always fun.

“As the President said we just had a positive meeting with President Trump. We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace. He promises peace not war. We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine. The bloodshed has to stop all over the world and I think this man can make that happen. I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason. I believe personally that God has saved his life for a reason, which is to save the lives of others. We support Donald J. Trump for his commitment to promoting family values and protecting our children's well-being, especially when it comes to curriculums and schools. We as Muslims support this man because we believe that he will be a president for all Americans, embracing every race, colour, and religion. We are with President Trump because we want a strong border. And we agree with President Trump that anyone who wants to come to this country is welcome, but he has to do that through legal pathway. We are with President Trump because we want a strong economy. Don't you want that? We are with President Trump to Make America Great Again through peace and justice for all. Lastly, Michiganders, I have two predictions for you for the next six months. Are you ready? Number one, the Detroit Lions will win the Super Bowl. Ready for the second prediction? I can't hear you, are you ready? The second prediction is Donald J. Trump will be the 47th president of the United States of America.”

Many online commentators have reacted in surprise at this news that they had not expected.
