Interesting trivia. Interesting that the birthplace of the GOP is in a city named after a democrat (Jackson)

OK one of two accepted answers for birthplace with Ripon Wisconsin being the other.

No problem, the next Republican POTUS will have the last name Ripon! ;’) Michigander! I’ve always loathed and detested the idiotic bureaucratic contraption that is “Michganians”.

Any reason why Michiganite wasn’t considered?

HA!

I always preferred Michigander because it was half close to the favorite yellow spotted salamander we’d find and play with!

Sitting quiet under our rocks, like humble conservatives do.

There is a county in Missouri named Cass County after Lewis Cass. It was originally named Van Buren County, but after Martin Van Buren ran for President on the Free Soil Party ticket (opposing the expansion of slavery), the county was renamed Cass County.

While the term was originally used as an insult, residents came to embrace it.

Yankee Doodle was an insult song.

You take their needling and turn it around so they get the point. :)

Michigander. It is what my Great-Grandma said it was, what my Grandma said it was and what my mom said it was and by golly that is good enough for me!

(And we never called them "trolls" to their face.)
