I see Tennesee's wannabe dictators are at it again. The GOP does not want to govern it wants to rule.
- The Nashville elite are used to running Nashville. It's a tight knit club that everyone knows not to defy. It's been that way for a long long time. It's not even a just republican thing, it's a certain Nashville republicans thing.
  That's why they act like spoiled children when someone says anything other than "thank you".

  Literal "good ole boys club" ruling a 80% black rural town without any elections in living memory loses power through legal defaults, then decides "fuck it" and keeps ruling based on their personal and social influence.
