I have long argued that the Democratic Party holds not only Red America in contempt, but their own voters as well. For years, they've gaslighted women, minorities, and gays — telling those demographic groups they care about them while putting forth policies that actually hurt all three groups.
The reality is this: Democrats despise voters of all stripes. They simply despise their own voters less.
There is no better embodiment of this reality than Aftyn Behn, who is the definition of an AWFL — affluent white female liberal. Behn, the Democratic candidate hoping to replace Mark Green in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, has had a rough week. I like to think I had a hand in that, having written about Behn's disdain for Nashville (a city she's supposed to represent), as well as her radical views on other issues.
It was a refreshing moment of honesty from Behn, whose efforts to spin her remarks fell flat. No one, not even Behn herself, believes that she's voluntarily been to the Country Music Hall of Fame once, let alone ten times as she claimed. And there's no way she cried at those visits, unless it was out of sadness she had to rub elbows with those icky Tennessee voters.
And she believes they're icky. She even endorsed a post that referred to the voters of her state as "cousin f***ers," which tells you exactly how she feels about the people she's meant to represent.

In a deleted 2024 tweet, Aftyn Behn amplified a post that said states which voted for President Trump - like Tennessee - were "cousin f***er states."
She loathes you.
She loathes Tennessee.

Behn wants to defund the police, undoubtedly because she subscribes to the Brandon Johnson school of thought that putting criminals in prison, regardless of their skin color, is somehow "racist." You know what's more racist? The pro-crime policies Democrats endorse.
According to the FBI, Nashville had 1,124 violent incidents per 100,000 people in 2024. In 2019, the Nashville Police Department released crime statistics, including victim demographics. 2,731 Black people were victims of violent assault and 52 BLacks were victims of homicide. The victimization rate for Blacks is four times higher than Whites per 100,000.
Despite this, Behn clearly wants to defund the police.
She also holds very radical anti-women, anti-child, and anti-family views. She believes women who choose marriage and family are supporting a "deeply patriarchal structure."
"They've chosen marriage, and they've chosen to raise children. And I think in the south it's incredibly difficult to shake those," Behn said.
And in Behn's world, "my body, my choice" only applies to abortion. Women who choose marriage and family need to be "shaken" from making a choice that Behn disagrees with.
She also supports the wholesale abuse and medical neglect of women by pushing for at-home, self-managed abortions. The Biden-era rule allowing the proliferation of chemical abortion pills has done tremendous harm to women. More than ten percent of women who take those drugs experience serious complications, including sepsis, and the drugs are easily obtained via the mail. That opens the door for men and others to poison women who would otherwise refuse to terminate a pregnancy with abortion drugs. It's already happened, and it'll keep happening. Behn doesn't care about those women, either.
That's likely because they chose to have children, whether within or outside of, the confines of marriage. Behn sees children as an obstacle to political power and career success. That, too, is a lie. I've managed to finish my Master's Degree (2011) and my nursing degree (2018) with at least two children, and I have built a pretty darned good career for myself while not sacrificing my children on to Moloch. Behn doesn't care about my choices and views them with contempt, largely because I prove her wrong.
Behn is running to represent the people, all the people, of her district. Instead, she holds at least half of those voters in contempt and seeks to run their lives in the way she chose to run hers: unmarried, childless, and screaming at politicians like a petulant teenager while she's being dragged from Governor Lee's office.

Behn believes, wrongly, that she knows best how to run our lives, and she will use government power to force conformity to her worldview.
Tennessee would make an AWFL mistake sending her to Congress.
