NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Multiple Tennessee lawmakers took to social media Saturday afternoon to notify the Nashville community about a group of masked people marching through downtown with swastika flags.

Just before 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 17, State Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) posted a video on X — formerly known as Twitter — showing a group of people in red shirts, black pants, and black balaclavas walking along the sidewalk on the other side of the street, with some of them carrying flags bearing the swastika.

“Just left an event honoring a Black sorority and spoke of the need to unite against the rising tide of white supremacy, only to be confronted by Nazis marching through downtown Nashville,” Jones wrote. “This is exactly what my Republican colleagues hate speech is fostering and inviting.”

The group left in a U-Haul box truck that was driven out of the county, police said, indicating the demonstrators were outsiders

They're extra dusty too :hhh:

Memphis is largely black.
Nashville is largely white.

They likely chose Nashville for that very reason -- to draw attention, with less of a chance of outright physical conflict.

This is anecdotal but I've heard of a lot of liberals have been moving to Nashville (and Tennessee in general) over the past decade or so because of it's lower cost of living and because it is seen as a fun place that hasn't been quite as saturated the way....say...Austin, TX has gotten.

It's going to be interesting how things play out in the State moving forward.
