Greenville County Is Ground Zero In Battle For Soul Of South Carolina GOP
FITS NEWS ^ | April 8, 2021By FITSNews | FITSNews

It is no secret Republicans are at war with each other – especially in South Carolina. Late last month, we reported on the latest GOP infighting in the Palmetto State – where two sycophants of former U.S. president Donald Trump are battling each other for the right to lead the state party ahead of its 2024 “First in the South” presidential primary.

Earlier today, this intra-party fight began receiving some national media attention …

Additionally, this news outlet has noted how similar ideological fault lines are emerging within GOP legislative caucuses … which are currently at each other’s throats over all manner of hot-button issues.

More than at any point prior, the Republican “tent” is being ripped apart – with fiscal “moderates,” #NeverTrumpers, neoconservatives, libertarian-leaners, social conservatives and MAGA warriors all seemingly at odds with each other depending on the day.

The only thing uniting them? Opposition to the increasingly radical left …

I know almost all these people and while I am not a fan of the personal Donald Trump, I HIGHLY support the MAGA side of this argument. . I made a comment on a previous thread: In Greenville GOP politics, if you aren't part of the landed gentry or a part of the right clique, you aint part. . The shunning, the back biting, if you are a Lindsey sycophant, you aint part. . One of the people mentioned on the Party side is trying to do right with the ending of open primaries, yet the people and party side they are attached to have refused to address this in SC. . Same with School Choice. . I choose the Tea Party people for that reason, plus they are much more approachable and widely support the anti-terror types I endorse. :)

I was the Executive Committeeman for my district for the last 2 years and had to step down for my health, but we had only 2 delegates elected March 22, I am waiting for the certified copy of delegates for my district from the GOP.

the money quote.

It is strange, the establish GOP here that I know and spoke with frequently all went to the Trump rallies, organized for appearances, got the bumper stickers...and yet, it is the Tea Party people they called Sycophants.

The question is NOT the people who want Trump or say they are for a MAGA agenda, but who has NOT proven they are for a MAGA agenda, and that is the old leadership at county level and state level.

Horry County GOP is no different either it’s all big mess.
We could be much a bigger player on the political scene nationally as well as the leading Red state in the Southeast against the Democratic-socialist/globalist agenda but as Race, has pointed out corruption in-fighting cliq mentality factionalism and tribalism oonall levels in the south has made it next to impossible for South Carolina to live up to the political potential that could and should be.

The quote of South Carolina being too small to be a Republic and too large be an insane asylum has a whole new meaning.

One of the candidates is a woman.

Just from this article she sounds like the wrong choice, the country club choice.
