I live in South Carolina. We are no longer the conservative stronghold we once were. We have been inundated by hispanics coming to work the fields and by yankees escaping the liberal hellholes they made and bringing their politics with them. On top of that we have a sizable number of home grown gibsmedats. Too many of our politicians cater to them, expecting to get some of their votes.
Reconstruction II ?
There is a lot of truth in what you say but for all of the posturing people in this state do, SC is GOPe country. There are a lot of older vets and senior citizen republicans who like to go with candidates they are comfortable with aka name recognition and those who won’t rock the boat too much.
Otherwise, how in the hell else do we keep getting the likes of Grahamnesty and Sanford?
