I have known many Tennesseans in my lifetime and not one was a lefty, just the opposite, Today they has socialist, quasi-communists, anarchists, elected to federal, state, and local office with more on the way. Unfortunately many of those I have known are gone, but if they were alive, I can guarantee they would have revolt underway
Fortunately, at the legislative level, we have Conservative majorities, and they well outnumber moonbats like Hillary Clinton Barry. Only a handful of counties in TN remain Democrat, and Davidson/Nashville is well out of step with the rest of the state in its leftism.
