6. A big jump in R votes when Obama ran.

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 doesn’t vote at all. Hopefully he won’t 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!
