So firstly, Muslims in Michigan are a substantial minority vote.
Given that Michigan is a swing state they could definitely have an impact on the election there.
Secondly, any Muslim voter who would be withholding their vote or voting Republican is an American citizen and thus in no danger of being deported. So despite Democratic fearmongering they may not see Trump as some huge threat to them.
Thirdly, culturally Muslims are a lot more aligned with Conservatives than they are with Democrats. Despite left wing delusions Islam is in fact a misogynistic, homophobic ideology that is far more in line with the Republicans than the Democrats. Although as usual Reddit did its best to close its eyes, earlier this year when a Michigan town of ~25,000, which had historically been Polish American, had its town council become all male Muslims and they banned PRIDE flags, their supporters celebrated that they were now a "Fagless City" and they passed ordinances allowed backyard animal sacrifices.
It will be interesting over the next few decades, as the country becomes all minority to see how the Democrats deal with the fact that a number of the minorities they have been celebrating are culturally far more conservative than the White Christians they've been trying to get rid of.
There's nothing here!
