The Bluegrass in the Big City
Let's be honest, Tennessee leans a little redder than a lobster at a boil. But Nashville? Well, that's a different tune. The city itself boasts a Democratic mayor (currently the very popular Freddie O'Connell) and a generally more liberal vibe. Think less cowboy boots, more funky boots.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
This has some folks hootin' and hollerin' about a lone blue star in a sea of red. But Nashville's a complex critter, with a growing population and a mix of newcomers and old-timers. It's like a country music mashup with a little hip-hop thrown in for good measure.
So, is Nashville a Democratic utopia?
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
Hold your horses (or should we say, hold your rhinestone-encrusted microphone stands?). While Nashville leans Democratic, it's not exactly a San Francisco by the Cumberland. There's a healthy dose of independents too, and even some Republicans who, you know, might like a good cup of joe and a bluegrass concert every now and then.
The Verdict: Nashville's Democracy is a Work in Progress

QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
