I keep seeing this posted, but it's not true. I live here. Last night:

- Governor went red
- 4 of 6 House districts went red (the usuals)
- Secretary of State went red
- Attorney General went red

The only one that went blue was Senate solely because Darline Graham was the most dumbass dogshit candidate I've ever seen run in this state by the R's.

She went into debates and said things publicly like, "national security isn't my thing, but I support the military." Even if that's true, how do you say that in a debate?

People in this state want conservatives, but they want conservatives who can functionally think for themselves. Anyone near the center was not voting for her.

The only reason she won the primary is because Trump endorsed her and for the MAGAs here, that's all that mattered. Not actually winning the midterm.

Ralph Norman would've won last night.

People need to pump the brakes. Last night was an outright rejection of Trump and shitty GOP candidates.

The country didn’t suddenly become a bunch of marxists in 2 years.

But they still voted for them. If they are willing to spite vote for Marxists it all counts the same.

Ralph Norman and Darlene would have voted 99% the same way on everything

Which makes it more retarded he didn't win the primary. He was a better candidate in every way, and STILL would've given conservatives the votes they needed.

This sounds amazingly similar to what LA ran with Letlow. Total dogshit candidate that inspires zero confidence. I hope someone primaries her in her next election but this will be SIX frickING YEARS. She'll probably get rubberstamped as our candidate until she loses and gives us a wackjob Democrat for six years. And Trump had his hands all over her waltzing unopposed into this office without demonstrating a modicum of competence.

There is a lot of blame to go around for this shite sandwich we've been dealt.

Not according to cosplay SDV. Trump selecting, soliciting for, promoting, and praising her has nothing to do with voters.

7 districts - 6 were R and then the illegal per USSC in 2025 Clyburn race-based district -

Nancy Mace destroyed Anny Andrews in the US1 race in 2024 - Mace would have beat the DC plant Lecore in US1 again yesterday - Mace should have kept her seat instead of the delusion of being Gov -

it's remarkable the MUSC carpetbagger Andrews was chosen to run for Lindsay's seat after she was destroyed by Mace in US1 2024 - and yes absolutely Ralph Norman would have beat Andrews -

SC is conservative with pockets of crazy - Charleston has a Republican mayor - yes Charleston - so conservative values do exist - it's the game of politics that the pockets of crazy execute better than the conservatives here - Darline Graham is a perfect example - Anny Andrews is a abject Loon who has ZERO intentions of serving the people of SC - but she's the new socialist mascot - it was supposed to be Joe Cunningham but Mace cut his balls off and McMaster fed them to him -

Maybe you could say that about Michigan. People somehow think that Michigan is some sort of nascent MAGA territory when the truth is that it is populist with a socialist bent and has been so for a while.....35+ years. It has a hollowed out middle class because of the transfer of jobs in the auto industry and a strong union tradition going back at least 100 years. It's fertile territory for an El Sayed.

South Carolina was an opportunity for the Democrats because Graham died a few moths ago and they could not scramble fast enough to find a competent replacement......and they were not going to elect his sister who had no clue what she was doing.

95% of Democrats aren’t Marxists and I really hope y’all can deprogram y’all’s selves from getting brainwashed by all the Russian and Chinese bot farms and meme factories.

They want to see us divided under foolish leadership. That’s halfway fixed now.

Yesterday was the most unmotivated I’ve ever been to vote in an election.

Darline Graham was a complete joke of a candidate, but I felt I had to vote for her because I’d rather an inexperienced, push-over conservative than a carpetbagger Democrat representing SC.

I don’t believe any of my friends who were fired up for Trump in 2024 even voted yesterday.

Between Trump completely ignoring his campaign promises and him personally handpicking the worst Senatorial candidate we’ve ever seen, it’s no wonder hardly anyone turned out to support Graham.

Just a total joke of a process.

That doesn’t matter. The important question is what percentage will vote for Marxists.

That's great and all but now you've got all of these new Democrat incumbents who are going to be very difficult to defeat. Look at Ossoff in Georgia. Twinkrico is going to be a US Senator for the next 40 years.

Sucks that this blue landslide can't be beaten until 2032. And that will be difficult if President Ossoff/Newsome or whoever has a successful 4 year term starting in 2028. The senate is blue for the next 6 years easily.

the turnout supports your thoughts & position -

as you likely recall Lindsay's 2020 campaign was the most intense he ever had against Clyburn & Pelosi's pet goldfish Jaime Harrison from Orangeburg - more people voted in that SC Senate election than ever before -

2020
Lindsey 1369137
Harrison 1110828
total 2479965

fast forward 6 years and all the sudden we have over 3.5M registered voters - which is actually somehow down from 3.8M in 2020 - maybe the rolls did get cleaned up of fraud -

yesterday's Senate total -

2026
D Graham 951165
MUSC Carpetbagger 1042362
total 1993527


486438 less votes yesterday for the Senate seat - 417972 less between Lindey and his sister alone -
