1. OMG!

Please let them vote Deripaska's pal, Blackburn, out too!!!

2. Lots more than turned out when Trump was thru an Arizona border town just recently!

Like, WAY more than TSF got when he was here in red AZ borderlands.

3. Knoxville? Best I can find this was last week but KNOXVILLE???

There are 3 Tennessees. Thus the 3 stars on their flag. Memphis, Nashville (very liberal but divided but their legislature), and Knoxville which is white/red heavy.

5. It's actually the three regions

West, Middle, and East Tennessee
Fifth grade pays off again!

6. That's what I meant

[Self Esteem]

28. Knoxville is pretty liberal.

Like most decently sized cities, it's a blue dot in a sea of red.

But it voted heavily for Biden in 2020:

33. Okay. I meant the surrounding area

👍

[servermsh]

4. What event was this in relation to?

Was Harris herself there?

EDIT: I see this was surrogates in Knoxville, apparently.

[ashredux]

7. That looks like Downtown Knoxville...

[DemonGoddess]

8. For surrogates?

Impressive!

9. This is unfortunately not Tennessee.

There are no palm trees growing along any street in Tennessee.

[eppur_se_muova]

11. Palm trees ?? Where do you see palm trees ? If this is an attempt at humor, I'd say it misfired.

(I know about the supposed palm trees in Wisconsin. I don't see real, or blow-up, palm trees in this video.)

[ShazzieB]

14. Yeah, I don't see palm trees, either.

Trees? Yes. Palm trees? That would be a no.

25. At the very beginning there are

Sabal palm trees. They are commonly dug up from habitat as land is developed in Florida and transplanted. However, they have almost all their fronds cut off in order to transplant successfully and it takes a year or so to grow them out. These palms at the very beginning have been in place at least a year. Sabals are one of the hardiest palms and mature specimens survived in Dallas in the bad winters of the 80's when temperatures dipped to around 0°F. Dallas was horticultural zone 8a back then, the same as Memphis now. Nashville and Knoxville are either 7a or 7b. I suppose that with some winter protection, in a downtown (heat island) area they could be brought through a normal winter.

29. Interesting!

I will take your word for it, as you sound very knowledgeable.

I've lived most of my adult life too far north for any palms to survive outdoors, so my knowledge of them is admittedly very limited.

[edisdead]

19. there are very clearly palm trees early in the video

[jimfields33]

21. It's definitely not Tennessee. I see palm trees too. It's in Florida which makes sense because she is scheduled to

go to palm county.

[evolves]

31. There are palm trees clearly visible

during the first 5 seconds of the video.

[70sEraVet]

13. I saw the couple of palm trees, and thought "Chattanooga?"

But I don't think palm trees would survive Chattanooga.

[Sky Jewels]

20. Certain varieties of palm trees grow in many kinds of climates. There are even palm trees in Scotland.

I wonder if this is Savannah GA though.

26. Dammit

Is it that hard to check before posting? Jaysus.

10. Look how young they are!

This is wonderful.

[videohead5]

12. In Nashville she would get

A huge crowd because it's a blue city. Memphis and Nashville are the two blue cities in Tennessee. The rest of Tennessee has a bunch of MAGA shit kickers.

[70sEraVet]

15. I've been to Chattanooga recently, and it has a LOT of young progressives!

[Yavin4]

16. Isn't Taylor Swift from Tennessee?

Just asking questions.

[videohead5]

30. No

She is originally from Pennsylvania. Of course she moved to Nashville later on.

[llmart]

17. Her crowds dwarf the teeny hands opponent's crowds.

She's a rock star!

[70sEraVet]

18. Viewing frame-by-frame, I saw a Nourish store.

The only place I found any listings of a Nourish store, was in Savannah, GA.

22. Found this local Knoxville online article

https://insideofknoxville.com/2024/08/harris-rally-on-market-square-attracts-large-crowd/

Location is Knoxville's market square, with only surrogates but darn, who knew Kamala has so many supporters in a red city? This is amazing! Way to go Tennesseeans 😎👏🇺🇸

[iemanja]

23. I searched online and couldn't find anything

About a recent trip to Tennessee.

32. Looks like Elon took down the tweet.nt.

[Self Esteem]

34. Probably deleted by the poster since it turned out to not be Tennessee.

It was from Florida.
