As Tennessee battles raging wildfires, forcing an evacuation of thousands of people, a number of people on Twitter are mocking their plight, suggesting residents there deserve it for voting for Donald Trump.
Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, the epicenter of the wildfires because of their proximity to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, are popular holiday resorts for conservative and Christian families from the region. The towns have a number of attractions and wholesome family activities, including Dollywood.
Some of the tweets, instead of expressing horror, are declaring “let them burn” and “too bad it’s not the whole state burning.” The tweeters are also accusing residents of showing their “white privilege” because they want more news coverage of the fires.

Wait until the terrorist’s realize what an easy target California is for wildfires.
Sociopaths.
Most of them are so provincial and insular they actually have never been outside of their own little worlds and don’t know anything else.
I run into them all the time. The attitude is especially prevalent in the Northeast.
You can meet someone who has been on a 10 day wonder bus in Europe but has never visited a Southern or Midwestern city. (Of course, they know ALL about Europe.)
I am going to out this out there bluntly.... They mock because liberals aren’t Americans.
These people are savages. Demonic animals. They're not even worthy to be called humans.
The irony is that east TN (thanks to UT) has a lot of fags and liberals, too.
I find the whole idea of Twitter to be irredeemably stupid.
Progressives and ‘RATS have no bounds for their vileness. Beyond despicable.
Yep.
Where is AQ wheb the Great Satan needs a come down
Yep. Never tweetied, never will. Oh well, my life is so empty...
What makes you think they haven’t already?
I’m from East Tennessee and raised right on the Park border...
This proves once and for all just what kind of people liberal socialists are...
East Tennesseans and Southern people in general are some of the kindest and generous people in this country...If you need help, they don’t ask your “politics”...They just stop and help you with what you need...
I really feel sorry for the people making these insulting and deriding comments about the tragedy that has hit the mountains...They have no heart or soul...They are truly unhappy people....
Let them keep it up. It probably sounded a lot like this in 1859.
Bastards.
Feel the love.
I read some post on Twitter from a lady who was happy that Gatlinburg was burning because it is "99% White".
I just can't understand people who are so consumed with hatred for people they don't even know, people who were my neighbors and are my friends.
If they get any more tolerant, we’re gonna haveta start shootin’ ‘em................
It’s unbelievable the attitude of some people who live in this country today...I would’ve never expected anything like this...
It’s light years better than Black Twitter. You’ve been warned.
