Can anyone in TN tell me more about the state of the state? Things like taxes, attitudes toward conservatives, living conditions, that sort of thing?
These are pertinent questions toward future events, mind you, and thanks in advance for any serious replies.
Well, we don’t have an income tax (unconstitutional, although there is a dubious Halls Tax, which is a de facto one), our sales tax is rather high (nearly 10% - and on everything). This state is becoming more Conservative/GOP, went against the mass-insanity of the national election (where the False Messiah was reviled nearly as much as McGovern was in ‘72 by the voters). Although Nashville and Memphis proper are Dem, the suburbs are all heavily GOP, so it’s a good bet to move here if you’re so inclined. For recreation, you got everything from the Mississippi clear through to the Great Smokies. Lots of state parks, you name it. I don’t know what else you want to know, just ask.
One other thing to add to what fieldmarshaldj told you. In Memphis, we have the King. He’s laying by the pond at Graceland.
Stay clear of anywhere south of Jackson.
Memphis and burbs are filled with crime.

Tennessee is a great place to live. We do not have state income tax, we have a great roads system, including 6 interstates running through our state. It is a beautiful state with three distinct regions and topography.
Voters used to vote democrat in local elections and republican in national races. Voters have started voting more along conservative lines in recent years.
The democrats are still playing their dirty tricks with the General Assembly, so we are not completely out of the woods.
TN is arguably one of the reddest states in the union...and I am a proud Volunteer. We had a tax revolt here against a RINO governor, and, outside of recent shenanigans, our state remains red. We defeated O by almost 20 points here!
