Wow! Fuck Tennessee!

43. don't let it get to you.

I'm in NC which is totally fucked. I know there are good people in TN, we all do. But there is a super majority of racists and fascists and they just kicked out 3 members.

it's not personal, and I only say that because I spent much of yesterday bashing the state where I live, NC. In case you didn't know, a Democrat from Charlotte switched to R giving them a super majority here.

but it's not just the legislature to blame. it's also the people.

this is from the thread i posted yesterday regarding what happened in NC:

it cannot be overstated how much the South is run on racism. people vote against their own best interests and the lowest common denominator pacifies them into voting for these FUCKS over and over. can't just blame it on the politicians, though they are very, very bad. or the media, which has failed this nation for sure. it's also the people.

I hope you're right, but I'm operating on the assumption that by 2024, we'll be a mirror image of the poorest, most ignorant, least educated, most racist, states in the country. NC used to be known as the jewel of the South, but now it's just another red blob on the map of the South.
