South Carolina legislators losing their re-election bids include a Republican chairwoman and former budget chief pummeled by allegations the GOP-dominated House isn’t conservative enough.

“They’re just angry,” he said of voters. “They’re mad at government. They’re mad at Washington. They’re mad about spending. Everybody’s just mad.”
Voters often don’t distinguish between Congress and the Legislature, and GOP operatives who capitalize on that in mudslinging primaries are, ironically, transforming the Statehouse into what voters don’t want, said White, who first won his seat in 2000.
The defeat of Allison, a 24-year Upstate incumbent, was particularly stunning to colleagues.

The rumble of the Red Tsunami on the horizon? Don’t worry you lefties...you won’t feel a thing.
Unfortunately, Graham won re-election during the 2020 Election Theft. He’s “safe” until 2026.

Good riddance to RINOs.
We need a Liberty Party (not Libertarian).
We tried the Tea Party, but if they left thinks we are all asleep or dead, They are WRONG!
They just don’t get it, do they? Yes we are mad! Yes, we want change! These people who get elected over and over again but nothing gets done or solved think they own their seat and they don’t understand why anyone would like it any other way.
Exactly, would you “disagree agreeably” with Hitler?
K-12 is a disaster, maybe Felder should be next.
Imho …….. “Peace in our time” Chamberlain should be taught to America’s children instead of drag pedo story time
Was Mace’s opponent not a good candidate?
Whenever long-term incumbents are thrown out of office, it is a good day for the Republic.

Damned right we're mad. And I use "damned" advisedly-- the US government has been taken over by demonic (damned) forces.
