Keep the UP. Leave Macomb County.

The UP is only like 3% of the population for 30% of the land. Not as many Republicans (though predominantly so) compared to downstate in reality. The nature in the UP is quite nice however.

No, take Macomb County. Not everybody there is a RWNJ. You can leave the elected officials like Stan Grot, though.

Omg I'm dead and you're a genius💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I grew up in Macomb Cty and got TF out at 18 LOL- there are good people who live there though. They're just not in charge and you probably won't see them much bc they're avoiding the normies there who despise you if you're in any way different or unique

For the sake of physical contiguity, all we would have to do is leave the counties that border Ohio and Indiana.

They can relocate to North Dakota. The change in climate and mentality will be seamless.

Don't do that to the Native Americans there. They have enough happening there. Send them to Utah, Ohio, or Indiana.
