I recommend that you move to MA from TN and take over the chairmanship of the GOP. Maybe then will you gain some appreciation for the situation there.
In TN, you have a Dem governor, the Dems control the House/assembly 53 Dems/46 Reps and the Reps narrowly control the Senate 17 Reps/16 Dems. Hopefully, you can turn things around there in TN before you move to MA.
Carpetbaggery ? I already told you what should be done. This kind of sarcasm is unhelpful. I know the situation in MA. I've been there (I was there during election season in 1994 when the infamous Romney-Kennedy race occurred).
"In TN, you have a Dem governor,"
No kidding. I'm right here in Nashville, y'know. He used to be Mayor. My father dealt with him frequently.
"the Dems control the House/assembly 53 Dems/46 Reps"
We haven't had majority control since Reconstruction. The Dems have (despite not having received a majority of the vote for the House in 12-14 years) ruthlessly gerrymandered districts in my state since after we got parity in 1968 and elected a GOP Speaker.
"and the Reps narrowly control the Senate 17 Reps/16 Dems."
We elected a Republican Senate Speaker in January for the first time in one hundred and forty years. Like the House, the Senate is also gerrymandered, but had an unusual arrangement that the aged Democrat Speaker who ran the body for 36 straight years was finally tossed out despite 2 sessions of being majority GOP. I'm not going to go into depth about that, because I've written 100 posts on it on FR in the past 6 years. And that figure is outdated. It is 16R/16D and 1 treacherous RINO turncoat switched to Independent and will vote with the rodents. The fact that we got a GOP Speaker was a "turnaround." Rodents running things in TN could be counted upon as finding water in a lake. Trying to weed them out has been difficult simply because of the lines. Like MA, Nashville has a 90% Dem representation but that doesn't reflect ACTUAL VOTING. This county can vote majority GOP, albeit rarely, but generally is about 40% GOP. Anyway, enough about that.
"Hopefully, you can turn things around there in TN before you move to MA."
We will, thank you.
