Education is what mySCGOP.com is about. We educate SC citizens on the Precinct ReOrg process, on CAMPAIGNS, and on the mental manipulation that goes on in the political world … just as George Orwell called it approximately 80 years ago. None of this is new throughout history … these self serving games were played by Roman’s 2,000 years ago … Nazi’s 80 years ago … and by the UNIPARTY today. Human nature does not change, no matter how much some people might like to think so. Today we look into the mental manipulation … the COLLECTIVE ILLUSION.
This past Tuesday we had the SCGOP State Executive Committee Meeting in Columbia. This is where all 46 County Executive Committeemen come together with SCGOP leadership to discuss party business (even though at Tuesday’s meeting 13 counties did not even show – no EC, no Chairman, no Proxy).
However, in our SCGOP, there is not discussion. There is no debate. You can’t even ask a question without being DEMONIZED … barred (for telling the truth) … and “condemned”, whatever that means. Why is this? Why would otherwise “rational people” follow lockstep with what the leader says? Why do otherwise “respectable people” refuse to stand up in the presence of objective wrongdoing (if not evil itself)? As Edmund Burke said, “The only think necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do NOTHING.” We might also ask, did Nazis know they were Nazis at the time? Well, it appears some were evil, some were mislead … and some were just afraid.
We all “know” the left rationalizes things that make no objective sense … we “know” the mainstream media favors the left … we actually have THE PROOF now that TWITTER was shadow banning conservatives (and worse) … literally in coordination with three letter Federal Agencies.
But why are self-proclaimed “Republicans”, members of the SCGOP State Executive Committee representing all 46 counties “ok” with our SC Legislature being rated #33 (out of 50) and the MOST LIBERAL RED STATE IN THE NATION? That is a FACT … no debate … yet they DO NOTHING.
Are they evil? Are they just mislead? Are they good people, just afraid to say something? Again, as Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do NOTHING.”
#LearnTheirTricks:
Two key issues to consider that will help you determine “who” is “who” are below. If one party promotes division, demonization and refused debate … that might be a clue “who” is the bad party. I know SC Patriots are ALWAYS open to sitting down and discussing matters … heck, that is why we got involved, to discuss how to make a better South Carolina … so ask yourself “who” refuses honest debate? Who calls us “lepers”? Who supports secret pledges? Sadly the SCGOP leadership is all these things … and sadly about every county State Executive Committeeman (maybe 40 out of 46) are complicit with this documented wrongdoing.
LOOK & LISTEN FOR: > Division & Demonization > No Opportunities for Debate
As we head into the 2026 South Carolina Primaries next June 9th, Republican (and Democrat) voters will be faced with picking which Republican (or Democrat) they want to represent them in the general election. It will be a choice we each have to make among the available options … the 2, 3 or 5 candidates that filed and are on the ballot … and there is no “None Of The Above” option. Sure, you don’t have to vote … but don’t complain later when you sat out the election.
We are seeing already … the jockeying by political consultants and their operatives to push their candidate (and tear down the opponents) … and the “PERFECTIONISTS” that complain about every candidate, but offer no solutions (and are not willing to run for office themselves).
A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH: Selection of a candidate to support is not easy. None of them are perfect, and how much can you really believe from what you hear on the campaign trail. What we like to encourage is that everyone think critically and logically about candidates and their campaigns, and steer clear as best you can of the emotional knee-jerk reactions that often dominate the discussions.
IT IS NOT JUST THE CANDIDATE – LOOK AT THEIR TEAM: While it’s tempting to focus solely on the candidate, it’s equally important to examine the people they surround themselves with. If you’re unaware of a candidate’s consultants (and their motivations), staff (and their roles), or the candidate’s supporters (who will inevitable have the ear of the candidate), it’s wise to hold off on offering your support. Ultimately, it’s not just about the candidate—it’s about their TEAM (or the “baggage” that comes with them).
We like to prioritize two key qualities when evaluating candidates:
(#1) Electability: A candidate (a) willing to run for office and (b) capable of winning. You may know the “perfect” person, but if they won’t run for office or are not capable of winning … what good are they?
(#2) Collaboration and Integrity: A candidate open to working with The People, with the grassroots, willing to listen, eager to include The People as part of their TEAM, and genuinely committed to doing what’s objectively right for the people—not just themselves (or their monied special interest backers). Here is where experience and judgment comes into consideration because you really don’t know what a candidate might do once elected. We have helped candidates get elected – and then never spoken with them again (not by our choice). Being lied to is a hard lesson to learn.
This process of selecting a candidate to back is both an art and a science, and while we may never find the “perfect” candidate, we can identify and support those who meet these two criteria and give us the best odds of promoting the conservative cause … at least until the next election when we will have another chance to try again.
THE TRUMP OF 2016: Reflecting on the field of “candidates” in 2016 … and the original “candidate” DONALD J. TRUMP … I believe that original candidate TRUMP, embodied these qualities, and that approach has proven effective in helping Save America.
STOP LOOKING FOR A “POLITICAL SAVIOR”: Most importantly, let’s remember, no candidate will save us. There is only one true “Savior”, and He is not running for office. Our work continues, so don’t think you are off the hook if your person gets elected. But having the right people – dedicated TEAM players – in elected positions from top to bottom can make all the difference.
Be smart … be logical … don’t be emotional … and don’t just complain, complain, complain.

The NANCY MACE campaign released polling numbers yesterday showing a commanding early lead in the South Carolina Governor’s Race … 25% MACE, 17% Alan Wilson, 10% Ralph Norman, 6% Pamela Evette, 3% Josh Kimbrell … with 38% Lean / Undecided. You can see the full reports HERE & below.
The polling results show MACE separating herself from the crowd since officially launching her candidacy last week and announcing AUSTIN MCCUBBIN (HERE), the 2024 TRUMP Team Statewide Director, has joined her team. This all seems to make MACE the early odds on favorite to win the Republican Primary next June 9th, 2026 … 294 days from today.
You can find more details on FITSNews (HERE & on X HERE) … but the real story broke when President TRUMP himself shared the MACE Polling Lead on his TRUTH Social (HERE) last night at 9:29pm. When the POTUS shares your leading polling data with the world … that is a not so subtle message.
Good news for NANCY MACE … but and incredibly bad sign for Lt. Governor Pamela Evette who is in a distant 4th with 6% of the vote. The Lt. Governor has led folks to believe she has TRUMP’s endorsement locked up. Well, that claim did not seem believable at the time … and really doesn’t appear believable now. When was the last time TRUMP endorsed someone in 4th place??? We can’t remember either.
Stay tuned … it is going to be a fun 2026 primary season!!!
