As a Michigander it is getting bad, and I do live Ann Arbor which is quite isolated social and culturally, but I am not sure we are there yet. The west side of the state definitely is, but the rest is still somewhat sane.

We did screw up in 2010 in allowing the Repubs to control the redistricting, and last November re-electing Snyder, but I'd like to think that we are not that far gone, yet.

I guess that I've said yet twice, may be proving your statement true.
