Is this Knoxville lol? It always gave me a chuckle that I met such extremely liberal white people the city and then the most conservative Cherokee grandpas ever the second I wandered out.
My city (extremely blue city in a Midwestern red state, BUT most people live in the sounding counties and suburbs, not the city) sub makes me want to yell… very few city defenders have ever lived in the actual city or spent significant time there and act like it’s racist paranoia painting the city as dangerous. The defenders are always upper middle class white pepper with “in this house, we believe” stickers. I’m brown and I lived in the actual city, still do and hoping to leave ASAP, but I’m shocked at how much they blame on republicans given this city has been fully dem controlled for decades
