As wildfires roar in east Tennessee, forcing thousands of people to evacuate, people still upset over the election of Donald Trump are mocking the plight of Tennesseans. Some even posted that east-Tennessee residents deserve to have their homes, businesses, and forests burned down for voting for Donald Trump.
The Tennessee areas engulfed in the wildfires are the towns of of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge which are popular holiday resorts for families from the region. They are known for the family-friendly, country-music themed, and pro-Christian attractions and activities including Dollywood, the theme park of famed country music singer Dolly Parton.
Some of the tweets, instead of expressing condolences, prayers, or shock, are saying outrageous, heartless things such as, let them burn and too bad its 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. This in spite of near 24-hour coverage of natural disasters such as floods that have occurred in other states.
Michael Ian Black, a popular left-wing comedian, tweeted saying: When Trump supporters voted to burn it all down, I bet they didnt think it would start with Tennessee.

The EVIL in these people’s hearts is being exposed.......
And I’m sorry if they are torn-up because of the election.
It’s only because they are SO DECEIVED!
I hear from friends traveling internationally that all of Europe and Africa is as torn up as our Democrats.......because they are just as deceived......
It's as if Republican bragged about how 'tolerant' we were... OF THE NRA. And people who believe in the Constitution...
Right....and I saw posts on Facebook with people saying to pray for California. Not ONE SINGLE TIME did I see anyone say, “They voted for Obama, let them burn.” I mean seriously. Basically, in large number, Hillary supporters have said, “You voted for the person I voted against, so you deserve to die.”
Insane. I voted against globalism, more taxation, and corruption and I had a right to vote that way. And the people who “voted against hate,” hate people like me for that. IRONIC. And pitiful.
