Two young black men were expelled from their positions in the Tennessee legislature for their part in a protest against gun violence on the floor of the house. They were immediately reinstated by the local authorities in their districts. Ironically the racist Republicans who voted to expel the two well spoken young men have probably done more for democracy in that benighted state than they intended.
The turnout of young black men has dropped in the last two elections and Republicans have made inroads among that demographic. By dropping their masks, Tennessee Republicans have shown where their hearts and minds are. Two charismatic spokesmen for democratic participation will have a positive influence on Gen Z black men in 2024.
