Far from. Ds went from retaining a blue Driftless Area/Saginaw and Bay county MI in Walker/Snyder's re-election wins in 2014 to Trump not only peeling off those voters en route to the White House, but retaining most of them despite losing in 2020. To prove its not a merely a state result, Peters won both Macomb/Oakland by double digits and cracked 60+% in the Flint metro in the '14 R-wave. In contrast he was unexpectedly fighting for his life when Trump was up for re-election and brought all the Nascar dads and Kid Rock clones out. While its important to prioritize fundamentals over candidates in analysis, Trump indisputably redrew the political geography of a few crucial swing states in ways others have already retired writing books off of.
