Kent County resident here.
The establishment is deeply entrenched here in Western Michigan - something I never anticipated nor expected. That was always the other side (Detroit) of the state I assumed.
I went to many local GOP official party meetings in/around town (Grand Rapids) after the 2020 election was decided and the absolute disinterest in the shenanigans that took place during the election - we all remember the windows being boarded up so no one could observe - was absolutely shocking. The GOP officials just pretended it didn't happen and weren't at all interested in addressing voter rolls, mail in ballots, etc etc.
Long story short. Kent County GOP is as establishment as you can get.

West side of MI is a GOPe stronghold.
This is just a reflection of the schism within the party where the GOPe would rather lose to the Democrats than lose their control of the party.
I think you’re already seeing a split where the diehard GOPe politicians are quitting rather than going along with the other side of the GOP coalition.

I live in Louisiana, but work for my second company based out of Grand Rapids..I find this shocking.. I would never have thought this after all the time I spent there...The owner of the first company I worked for in GR fired a guy for having an Obama bumper sticker on his vehicle.
