Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Special-K: I know five transplants to the Northwestern Tennessee area. Four are from Western New York and the 5th is from Illinois. All are staunch red conservatives. I may become the 6th.  It needs to be pointed out again and again - a CA or NY conservative is not a TN (or whatever red, rural state they're moving to) conservative. They just don't think the same way. |

Another retired couple from Connecticut made it 3 or 4 months before moving back north. A binary triggered AR really sets them off. Wish I had kept my MP5, but sold it when they hit $25k.

I moved to TN from Pennsyltuckey and most of the folks I've met get confused when they realize I'm far more conservative than they are.
I live in a location that is very rural and primarily vacation homes and weekend/summer only people, so most of the houses on the lake are rarely occupied or AirBnb. When I first met some of my part time neighbors, a couple took me aside to tell me how nice the area was, but there were rednecks everywhere. They haven't talked to me since I put up a couple of guest passes to my range as part of a fundraiser for adding fish to the lake

You've got a mix of farmland and pine forest with small towns, then the beach towns which are each very different. 100+ miles of oceanfront in the state. There's a pretty wide gap between Avalon and Newark. I'll take NJ over TN all day long. Taxes and politics suck, but that's not all there is in life. Eastern PA's politics are garbage because the Republican party is a bunch of faggots who have failed to connect with voters. NJ had nothing to do with that, they did it all by themselves. |
