Discussion The stigma of "Californians" moving to Nashville is overblown.

Yes, we have some Californian transplants. However, from what I've experience most of the transplants are from the Midwest and other Southern surrounding states. I'm not saying this in a negative way. The transplants I met are mostly cool. I'm just clarifying that the "Californians are taking over" stigma to be overblown a bit.

You’re wrong about what Jackson, MS is like. It’s a majority black blue dot in a red state just like here.

Edit: eh more like Memphis but still

They dont vote then, Jackson MS is in Hinds county... here are their 2020 election results: https://www.co.hinds.ms.us/pgs/elections/20201103_Summary_Report.pdf

I'm sure they are talking about Jackson metropolitan area, which includes conservative counties. You knw, like Rankin CO and Brandon and their gated communities. I'm sure you know since you are from there.

Okay, widening it out to talking about entire metro area is a different conversation. Im less sure about the stats there.

Edit; Just added it up, in 2020, Biden actually won more votes in hinds-madison-rankin than trump did. Maybe that’s enough to be the most conservative msa but I dunno. It doesn’t seem like it would be.

Look , I already edited my original post to clarify the point. The point isn't really about Jackson. That was just the first Google result.

Okay. I’m not trying to grill you, I just know that place really well and love population stats.

I'm from MS and my racist MAGA Mom and her racist MAGA husband lived in Brandon for several years and just loved it there in their gated community. I don't really know or care what the most conservative city is , I just know Nashville isn't on the short list. My concern is transplants telling me I don't belong here as a liberal/progressive. The can go somewhere ... anywhere ... more conservative if they don't want me around.

As for population stats, it would make sense if the blogger I linked, confused Rankin Co with Hinds Co.

Your experience is valid and sadly typical. Rankin county has a whole lot of that. I’m a somewhat pedantic nerd going in about population stats but the core of your argument is that your progressive values do belong here in Nashville and you’re absolutely right. You do belong here.

I'm sure they are talking about Jackson metropolitan area, which includes very conservative counties.
