    “Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” Trump said.

    While standing in Detroit… Lmao.

      This is classic republican style speech/base-rousing. ‘[insert city/state/region/country here] is terrible, it was once so much better, but now it’s horrible. It’s not you [insert crowd euphemism here] here, it’s all those damn [insert boogeyman euphemism of choice here] coming in and ruining things! We’ve gotta take back the city/state/region/country!’

      It’s exactly what old what’s-his-face did with the Haitians and dogs, the ‘illegal’ settlement in Texas, etc. Trump and his team are just so stupid because they take it so far that even the republican politicians in those areas look at them with stupefied expressions and correct the record.

      Man, Trump chose someone from Ohio to be his running mate. I mean come on, the one thing Michiganders can agree on is that we hate Ohio - red or blue. Why would you want to elevate someone from Ohio as VP?

          Cold war from when Ohio invaded Michigan’s land and got the president to back their claim over it. Federal government ended up letting Ohio keep it and giving Michigan the upper peninsula in exchange.

          Ohio State and University of Michigan are football rivals. It was always awkward because my grandpa was a most of life Ohioan who went to UofM for grad school and hoo boy did people not like when he displayed his Alma mater gear. I think they once caught a drunk person pissing on his car…

          But it’s also kinda just that we’re neighbors with a lot in common. Oh and we once had a war. But mostly it’s that we’re neighbors and it never really feels like punching down (Indiana and Kentucky) or above our weight (Pennsylvania)

      Stimulants and other drugs will only work for so long. Eventually, even bigger doses won’t help, and there might be a whipsplash effect at some point.

        Yeah, one of the differences between how stimulants work as a treatment for conditions like adhd vs as a pick me up is that. Tolerance is a minor annoyance when it’s there to mess with your neurochemistry, but as a “go drug” eventually you’ve gotta pay up. Nothing is free when it comes to using drugs to enhance beyond normal, and the further you go the more debt you accrue.

            That’s the thing I think people don’t get (including some of our own) this hatred is supposed to be teasing. Michigan is lovely even if some of my relatives would die before admitting it.

        The twin cities is by far the nicest metro area in the country. Went there to watch a football game against the Vikings, and compared to KC? Honestly a shame we couldn’t delete KC, and copy/paste Minneapolis over KC. In a Denver jersey, I was treated better in the twin cities than in Denver. It was so wild. We won the game and I got several dozen compliments, they were so nice that it put me in a better mood and made me nicer. I can’t say enough good things about the people of Minnesota.

            No I know, I veered off because OP said detroiters are the nicest people. I’ve been there once and not really long enough to judge the people of Detroit one way or another. But it was just a chance to remind people how great the people of Minnesota are. I’ve been there a million times and I don’t know what it is but it makes me fall in love every time. It’s definitely not the best view or most warm but the best thing about Minnesota is it’s people.
