Michigan is a unique place we can turn to for insight into what the future of our nation will look like should today’s Democratic Party, dominated by the radical left, succeed in taking over America as we know it.

Michigan Shows What Happens When Liberals Control A State
Democrats won big in Michigan on election night 2018, sweeping the statewide offices of governor, attorney general and secretary of state. Democrats also flipped two historically safe Republican congressional districts and flipped five state Senate seats and five state House seats.
The 2018 results ushered in a wave of liberal Democrats in the Great Lakes State, who won by appealing to the radical left while maintaining a veil of moderate charm to hold on to working class families and Midwestern Democrats who were not as giddy about socialism.
This makes Michigan a unique place we can turn to for insight into what the future of our nation will look like should today’s Democratic Party, dominated by the radical left, succeed in taking over America as we know it.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she wanted to work across the aisle to get things done, making “fix the damn roads” her campaign moniker, yet recently vetoed $375 million in the state budget that would have fixed the roads because the legislature did not include a 45-cent gas tax increase as a part of the budget.
Whitmer, who on the campaign trail called assertions she would have to raise the gas tax at least 20-cents “ridiculous” for her roads plan, announced her 45-cent gas tax earlier this year and both Republicans and Democrats balked. Her own party publicly said she didn’t have support for the drastic tax increase in the state House, where Democrats know just how unpopular the hike would be with constituents.
