It's not really, Chattanooga has it's own suburbs, and like any city has a urban core with weirdo liberals. A lot of the Atlanta suburbs are super based. I'm from a small town that doesn't really do masks but you will still see them sometimes, especially employees of national chains. North Atlanta suburbs damn near no one had a mask and we are talking about places that were super packed. They were some of the first to start back school on time with no fucks given.
