The blue state model hasn’t worked for a long time. The more they squeeze the productive class, the more they flee. On the downside, I live in the SC 1 which has had tremendous growth and have the No Trumping, back stabbing Nancy Mace as my congress witch who claims she reps a purple district. My growing concern is that SC isn’t red enough.
SC has open primaries, IIRC. Dumb-O-Crats are helping to pick your candidates.
