Not all of them, there are a lot of black people in the cities of TN who don't want this, and you'd be surprised at the number of white people who aren't actually Republican voters. Lots of them in Nashville. The state is locked up tight by good ol' boys, I don't see that changing any time soon, sadly.

Knoxville Tennessee is a blue city too. We've had a democratic mayor for years and years. It's just a small city though inside Knox county which is Trump's country.
