Yeah, those blue collar workers were just
too smart for everyone else.
Michigan actually is doing fine, regardless of what a few uneducated, unskilled schmucks think. Things could be better, but they could be a whole lot worse, and if Trump goes through with his policies, there's a really solid chance we'll to see the latter. A few extra automotive plants don't help people where our unemployment rates are highest and the cost of living will go up as imports, which help keep prices down, become more expensive. If your state isn't doing fine, maybe your state is the one fucking up, not the federal government. I wouldn't trust a bunch of blue collar workers for economic advice though regardless. What the fuck do they know? They just know if they have a job or not, but that's anecdotal and not a good measure of the overall health of the economy.
