It is an example of how red states are being deserted by progressives and becoming ruby red.

(8,760 posts)Which means, sooner or later, they will fold because they will no longer be sustainable.
Or, they will opt for the 'destroy everything because we are not getting our way' mentality.
Which is where I think they are headed. Which is why I continue to say that we need to stop being 'proper' and fight fire with fire.
Which means, destroy them first.
There, I said it.

(2,760 posts)An even bigger jump in votes when TSF ran and it increased in each of his three campaigns. Look at how the percentage of the vote jumped from 52% to over 83% in 24 years. This is what happens when people self-marinate in a stew of hate propaganda. Add to that this county is in the Bible belt and throw a huge serving of MAGAt christian nationalism into that stew.
I would say it is easy to see how he votes but OTOH perhaps he doesnt vote at all. Hopefully he wont be voting for at least a couple of decades after he is indicted, tried and convicted on terrorist threat charges and possession of homemade explosive devices.
My question is, the Republicans are in charge in the federal government and Tennessee is a ruby red state. What does he have to hate?
Thanks Old Baldy for the stats!

(8,760 posts)Hate is at the core of this person's being. Without hate, he has nothing.
Which is why most of these animals are doing what they are doing. Because they have nothing else. Usually per their own designs.

...
Amber Lilley, ONeals niece, told the outlet his anger at the sheriffs office was the result of a fight he was having with a former friend. She said her uncle became convinced the friend and public officials were part of a satanic witchcraft cult using electronic forms of torture to drive people crazy and manipulate their lives.
She said he was deeply mentally disturbed and struggled with substance abuse, noting their family had unsuccessfully tried to find the treatment he needed after his mental health worsened over the years, culminating with violent outbursts and hallucinations.
