Yes, small towns are remaining exceedingly conservative, thankfully. But from what I’ve been hearing, Nashville is becoming the San Francisco of the state. And the enclaves ruled by universities are almost no different from Marxist communities of the NE.
The small towns in TN don’t change much and are still very conservative. The large cities are more liberal. They also have more of a Muslim population that I wish we didn’t have. Chattanooga is still fairly more conservative than some even though it’s large.
