3. Smh! Saw & read that aloud to my hubby

..yesterday. "That state" is unbelievable.

We were discussing Tennessee for at least an hr., trying to decide whether to move back or not - it's such a regressive state.

Among other negatives, religion dominates their every thought, even business decisions. ☹️

4. There are a lot of good people in Tennessee. Unfortunately, gerrymandering has silenced them.

The Republican supermajority has ruthlessly split neighborhoods in half, obliterating Nashville as a voice, and they are working on Memphis. Steve Cohen is Tennessee's only Democratic Congressman, and they are chipping away at his district.

“I have long advocated both as a State Senator and in the House of Representatives for curbing partisan gerrymandering and restoring public confidence in government through redistricting by emphasizing geographical contiguity, compactness, preservation of communities of interest, and consistency with other political lines rather than mere political affiliation,” Cohen wrote.

5. Yes, I agree.

My hubby is from Memphis and has relatives there - unfortunately, all of them are Repubs.
We don't visit any more.
