I know there is a lot of competition for the worst Republican elected official in Tennessee. When you have morons including Lee, Blackburn, Hagerty, Burchett, and the majority of our state legislature. it's easy to get depressed and worry about the future of our country and our state. It will take decades to make any substantial recovery from their actions. Many families will never recover from the deaths, suffering, and negative effects these leaders have inflicted on them.
