in terms of Congressional representation. It is a reliably Democratic district, represented by Jim Cooper, and votes by large margins for the Democratic candidate in presidential elections. The GOP-dominated state legislature has announced a highly gerrymandering redistricting plan that will carve Nashville up and destroy it as a united voice.

(2,319 posts)This is only possible because the Federalist Society put a bunch of ideologues onto the USSC to gut the voting rights act and any other legislation meant to prevent old rich white males from being questioned by 'uppity' women, poor people, and people of color.
If not for CJ Roberts and his ilk who gutted the VRA even before they got the Hand Maiden, Beer Boof, and Gorsuch.

(448 posts)Is afraid of all of the higher thinkers coming from the east coast and California. These better people have every intention of keeping their deep blue values and will crush out the Trumpers in their own backyards. It's about time.

(15,398 posts)or are they going to go on offense against the Hate Radio stations in their town?
Are they going to strike and boycott the businesses in Nashville that fund Retrumplicans one party rule?
Are they finally going to do something to financially punish the surrounding rural areas that suck at the teats of Nashville, while electing Retrumplicans Dipshits that take any and all political representation from Nashville?
Oh, I know what the good citizens of Nashville need to do. They need to "reach out" to those that seal to enslave them.
They just need more "focus-groups" of Donnie Dipshit Retrumplicans voters telling them how "Nashville is 'out of touch' with 'real' Tennessee.
