18. Sorry, but that's horseshit

The legislature in TN is a reflection of the majority of people in TN, just like De-SANTOS is a reflection of the majority of the people of Florida.

Whatever the "good" people of TN and FL area doing, it's NOT enough

Israel has a population of 9 million.

Tennessee has a population of 7 million.

There have been a half-million Israelis in the streets for 8 weeks. That also includes some of the Israeli military and nationwide strikes.

Any "decent" people striking in Tennessee?

I guess we will truly see how many "decent" people there are in Tennessee at the next election, but my guess is the state will once again vote for a Retrumplican fascist super-majority.

I hope I am wrong, but sometimes, the best thing decent people can do in a toxic, fascist, racist environment is get the hell out.
