WTAF were they hoping to accomplish? As Beau said, they’ve created 100,000’s of lifelong Democrats by doing this.

bu unfortunately the GOP can come up some other specious bullshit next time. (I live here and have been following the hostility toward Justin Jones for a long time, going back to his student activist days. I am frankly worried about his and Justin Pearson's safety and hope they are being guarded day and night).

greater things. I am looking forward to seeing them in national office one day. Gerrymandering in TN is in danger as soon as Gen-Z gets out and votes in their state and local elections. Give it 4-6 years.
