  If your going to rename anything on that street it should be the sewer covers.  We should now call them trumps.
context: It’s not an accident this is happening during Black History Month either. These shitbirds are trying their best to distract from a celebration and reflection of black history.

  We should jail Trump, not honor him. >
  
  Honor him with a special jail cell named after them. Small and mushroom shaped. Call it the trump. Put the worst offenders in them >

  More Confederate participation trophies for the white supremacists. This is pure anti-black racism. >
  
  Republican Klan members want to lynch John Lewis, but he's already dead so renaming his street after their Grand Dragon is as close as they can get. >
  
  They are telling you who they are.  This isn't own the libs.  This is to stake a claim.
  AR-15 pins and attacks on american standards. >
  
  The GOP has already declared war on America and they already attacked the capital in a failed coup. They will do it again if given the chance.
  This is very similar to the rise of the Nazi party in Germany, they too had a failed coup. And when they came back they did so with the support of the wealthy elite and “centrists” who were terrified of communism/socialism.  Don’t think for a second that the GOP can’t rope in some corporate Dems or “centrist billionaires” for their final push. >
  
  ...and what did the GOP just do? Push through a vote in the House to "condemn the horrors of socialism", that had support from far too many Democrats. Anybody else feeling some deja vu? >
  
  Trump totally deserves it. Sure, John Lewis may have had his skull fractured in Selma fighting for the right to vote in the 60s, but let’s not forget Trump’s personal Vietnam: avoiding STDs in the 90s.
  FFS. >
  
  Remember the Battle of the Bone Spurs?  We should honor those wounded and KIA veteran heroes. RIPIP to them!  ^^^^/s >
  
  Name and shame : Tennessee state Rep. Paul Sherrell (R) and state Sen. Frank Niceley (R) >
  
  Was Sherrell a fucking cop!?! >
  
  The nazi gop always have to have a racist based counter to any holiday or street named after a black civil rights activist because they can't stand having anything solely dedicated to honoring black people. >
  
  how about, "NO FUCKING WAY!" >
  
  Ooh, nice! >
  
  That is such a garbage proposal. These people are awful. >
  
  Can't they find their own street to sully? >
  
  Vote better or this is the bullshit we get >
  
  As a liberal living in Middle TN it’s an absolute fucking nightmare here. The music industry almost died during the pandemic and our local politicians didn’t do shit for us. Fuck Bill Lee. Fuck Marsha Blackburn, and fuck everyone that voted for those pieces of shit.The fucked up thing is that people in the industry keep voting for these fuckwits. >
  
  Ridiculous. Donald Trump doesn’t deserve that honor. >
  
  Maybe they can name the  road to the sewage plant for Trump. >
  
  People better start voting the right way, not for the fascist or history will be erased. >
  
  I live in Nashville.  We got gerrymandered to hell in order to divide Nashville and make it red when it has always been blue >
  
  Is there anything y’all can do? What kind of grassroots organizations do you have to fight this? Or am I just being ridiculous and naive? >
  
  We are kind of fucked here >
  
  Damn. That’s a shame. >
  
  
  to honor Trump
  
  Think a sewage plant or better yet cesspools, would be more appropriate. >
  
  The state loves to push Nashville around when they want. This is a prime example of that. John Lewis Way is a city road, not maintained by the state.
  They're suddenly hands-off when it comes to dealing with problems they don't like though.
  They have a super-majority and they are completely out of control.
  They have gerrymandered their permanent existence and there is no "just vote" our way out of this. >
  
  Every single Republican wishes they could get some Donald dick. The worship and passion for the guy to be number one in every aspect of their lives is fucking weird!! Republicans and their religion are an oxymoron when it comes to Donald trump. >
  
  Lol. The new signage wouldn’t last 2 minutes before being torn down. >
  
  This is what I think (hope) will happen, too. >
  
  If it lasts a second longer than 20 minutes then we will know there’s something seriously wrong. >
  
  Sickening. Truly. >
  
  Disgraceful >
  
  To "honor" trump the f'king racist?? What a pile of crap! >
  
  Only thing with Trump's name on it should be a prison and a headstone. >
  
  I'd settle for a port-a-potty. 
  A headstone is too kind for that scum. My imagination would love to see a statue in his likeness, with him on his knees in a stockade, whole thing with a few etched lines about treason, greed and lies. Encase his remains in the cement or just dump it in a ditch somewhere. >
  
  I immediately imagined the long line of people waiting to take funny sex position photos with that statue. >
  
  Ive got a better idea: How about we leave the street named after our national treasure John Lewis alone and give dumbshit Trump the honor that he really deserves by renaming the Nashville GARBAGE DUMP the Donald Trump Dump. >
  
  I’m not a fan of naming roads after anyone not even John Lewis, who is one of my heroes, for the simple fact it just seems like a lazy way to honor them. But regardless of how I feel, this is just racist republicans doing what they do best, pandering to other racist assholes. >
  
  Be sure to save up those piss jugs for Trump Highway
  ​
  
  "Well, Ray used to be on the road as a trucker, and that's what truckers do! They're drivin' along, and they've got deadlines to meet... they don't wanna pull in and... park the truck, walk in, take a pee in the toilet, then go back out and get on the road... they just have an old jug and they... put their bird in it, have a pee, cap it off, and once it's full they just drill the f***in' thing out on the highway! I mean, I don't agree with it. I see where they're comin' from, trying to make their deadlines, but... Ray's been firing them all over the park like he's still drivin' a truck!" -- Bubbles >
  
  That stretch of "Trump" road is probably going to sexually harass some women, sell classified documents to Russia, try to lead a half-assed armed revolt against the government, and go bankrupt before the year is out. >
  
  i don't know Impeachment Boulevard doesn't have that great a ring to it. >
  
  Just absolutely gross virtue signalling for a massive grifting criminal >
  
  John Lewis died without knowing if we were going to be okay, and that still shakes me up.
  This is infuriating beyond reckoning.  This is part of the continuing body of evidence that convinces me some people are beyond redeeming. >
  
  Same with Elijah Cummings.  In defending Mark Meadows' shenanigans after he paraded a black woman out during a House Oversight hearing to demonstrate against Cohen's word that Trump wasn't racist (or, at least defending his relationship with him), Cummings stated that Meadows was one of his "best friends", and that Talib wasn't calling him a racist (which she rightfully was alluding to, IMO), in light of keeping the hearing cordial and ethical between the two Representatives (so he was kind of defending her, too).  So he was basically saying (and later at a press briefing) that, as friends, he was able to explain to him what his antics came across as, or, that Meadows is not really the racist he portrayed himself as during that hearing, since Cummings saw Meadows' "pain" after being scolded, basically, by Talib, and also knew he has some black married into his family, I believe he had said.  
  It left me wondering about how much of the Republican BS is all show for their idiot base and that most of them are actually intelligent and cordial behind the scenes, though at the same time, I was disappointed because it shouldn't be that way, even if it's just for "show".  
  Then, not long after Cummings' death while serving, Meadows, who spoke at Cummings' funeral, stooped even lower than the House shenanigans Republicans and he participated in, and became Trump's chief of staff, and was later shown to be a core player in an all out coup attempt against the government, which included the House he was once a part of, and which was made up of his former colleagues, and which might have included his "friend" Elijah Cummings, if were still alive.  
  It breaks my heart to think that Cummings was ever good friends with someone like this, and that he will never know what became of him or the country, due to his "friend's" efforts, especially in the face of having defended him that day. >
  
  It’s not about racism, it’s about heritage.
  Ok… it’s about racism. >
  
  Nazi Republicans fucking disgust me. >
  
  John Lewis: "I heard what you were saying, you know nothing of my work! How you got elected to anything is totally amazing!"  
  (It's a much older meme, but trust me, it checks out.) >
  
  Racists are winning. >
  
  Not a racist dog whistle at all.... /s >
  
  If they succeed, I hope at least it’s the last part of the road, so it’s like we travel down Joh Lewis and end up with Trump. 
  It’s fitting seeing how American fascism is following any attempt to honor Progessive leaders. >
  
  I have the dry heaves just from the mere mention of this.
