Seems a lot of DS assholes are buying up property in Tennessee and Zuckerbfuk is the latest one? https://x.com/dom_lucre/status/1740510446614986768?s=46&t=Nwg1vy4jg3_JlX1SQMYB9A
Wonder why they are focusing on that state??

Eastt Tennessee is deep red, except for the city of Knoxville.
Knoxville and Chattanooga's city government's and the University of Tennessee are the only leftist strongholds in east TN. Californians are invading en mass, but it remains to be seen if they are bringing the hell they are escaping with them or not.
Memphis and Nashville are lost.
Ex Californian here. I've been living in the hills of East Tennessee for over 20 years, raising beef cattle and chickens. You might be surprised to learn that the majority of people who live in Northern California, have necks as red as any here in the Great State of Tennessee. This is my home now, and I will defend her with my blood, my treasure and my sacred honor.
That is reassuring. I hope you are representative of the vast majority. You even sound like a Tennessean.
Also a former Californian, been in Knox close to 7 years. Came here because I’d heard about this place called America and I wanted to be a part of it.
I’ve spent my time enjoying the mountains, guns, and freedom while passionately reminding everyone I’ve met how amazing this state is, and how it is worth protecting with all they have (most don’t need the reminder).
Pretty much... yeah.
Heyyyy nowww… in my experience here, it’s more of a very vocal minority that leans left, but even many of them have been willing to at least talk about it.
I work with people from all kinds of backgrounds, and most are more right or Trump supporters.
That being said, crime seems to be having an uptick.
Well hi, neighbor! My views of downtown Knoxville (I live in deep west Knox County) is admittedly from afar, if you can call 20 miles "afar." I rarely go downtown anymore, but form my views from the so-called local "news" stories I see and from experiences I had working for an unnamed big university by the river there, the one with the big-assed stadium.
Working on campus I saw the nascent beginnings of the woke culture beginning to form, so I got the hell out when I could financially afford it. The city government appears to be mostly, if not all, Democrats. The big blond beast Gloria What'shername who represents that area in Nashville was rightfully censured by the state legislature for disrupting the deliberating body, and now she's trying to turn that into a run for the US Senate, apparently running as a "martyr" or something.
Another City of Knoxville action of a couple of years ago was to evict a very long-running gun show from the Jacobs Building at the fairground, and they have taken the bi-monthly show now to the Expo Center in the County. So Knoxville was willing to lose the revenue of an event to make an anti-Second Amendment political statement.
If you say there is a majority conservative streak in Knoxville, I will take your word for it. However, I'm just opining on what I see from "afar" and see little evidence of it.
Cheers, anon, thanks for giving me a different perspective.
Cheers to you as well, neighbor.
You’re not wrong about the local government, but at least from what I’ve seen, those moves you’re referring to (particularly the gun show business) made a lot of people very displeased. So, though these people may have gained office through whatever means, I haven’t experienced a lot of support of those actions from the average person.
When I moved here several years back, I moved right into the crossroads of the two main arteries of the east side…. I found many of the views there to be uninformed, but again, most were still willing to talk with an open mind.
I now live in a different kind of Crossroads (hint hint), and it’s pretty much all like minded individuals. I have hope for this city and county.
Thanks for you perspective as well fren, and have a safe, happy New Year.
Same to you, fren, have a blessed and (hopefully) prosperous new year in 2024.
And if you happen to be a friend of Bill's (W), with your mention of 'Crossroads,' so am I... 35 years now.
