I honestly don't think a lot of cities are as blue as they'd have us believe. There was cheating EVERYWHERE. In Tennessee, Nashville and Memphis are the obvious places for voter fraud. I believe that one county that's a black suburb of Memphis (Hays county?) is "blue" as well. But I'd imagine even in smaller cities like Knoxville and Chattanooga there was probably a lot of cheating. Not Fulton county levels, but still cheating.
I mean, even some small middle of nowhere counties in Montana had proven cheating in the numbers of a several thousand votes, when the entire counties only had 10-20 thousand people. Those are BIG percentages. They really overplayed their hand in the last election. I believe Pillow Man said that based solely on the digital cheating he caught and has analyzed, EVERY state in the union, all 50 of them, should have a 10% higher GOP margin at minimum.
By that logic, Tennessee should be 33% red, Knoxville and Chattanooga are probably deep red and Memphis and Nashville are probably light blue based on this alone, but when you account for all the other forms of cheating, they're probably pink-moderately red counties/cities.
Another odd anomaly is that Knoxville and Chattanooga had an odd left shift, whereas the Johnson City Metro (the fourth largest city and metro in the state of Tennessee), which is also in East Tennessee had a massive rightward shift. The demographics for all three metros are basically identical, as is the culture and general attitude. So that makes very little sense. I mean, Johnson city is even a college city, just like Knoxville with ETSU being located there. And don't even get me started with the influx of conservative people into east Tennessee (Knoxville and Chattanooga specifically) from nearby "blue" states that are looking for some freedom. I think there was something like 200-300K conservatives from Virginia alone the past decade that have moved into the area because they got tired of being in what amounts to a DC suburb. And I don't mean people in general, I mean actual conservatives. Like 90% of all people who move to Tennessee are conservative and moving there for the same reason liberals move to Colorado. They want to be with like minded people and love mountain views. (For all intents and purposes, Tennessee is the east coast , conservative Colorado.)
Personally I didn't really see anything particularly cuckish in that. I mean there were the usual buzz words most people use to make things "look good" on a few pages. Mostly about the environment. There was a slight bit about demographic growth, but I'm like 95% sure that just politician speak for "give us grant money while we do nothing". I mean, you can't really force anything like that anyway, especially when everyone moving there is overwhelmingly white anyway.
I know some people in the general area and most people generally are SUPER conservative. The ones who have moved there recently are even more conservative than the people who were raised there in most cases since they're coming from liberal crap holes where their freedoms were suppressed and they were taxed to death.
All in all I wouldn't worry to much about it. For privacy reasons I won't say where, but there's a super small town where I live that does crap like this, use the buzzwords in official documents, so they can get millions in federal grants to help the town run. Then they turn around and do nothing about any of it unless there's some tax incentive. And the people writing up all of this are blood red Trump supporting MAGA types.

Mind elaborating? I'm kind of curious what you're talking about now.
