Political Power vs Political Access
“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”
We have written about this before (HERE) … but it seems time for a reminder.
The #1 mistake we see new people and groups getting involved in the political process … the mistake we made ourselves (so not judging) … is people confuse “Power” with “Access”.
Access “feels” nice. You are listened to, you have a seat at the table, your phone calls are returned … they say nice things about you … but access really means you are “Never being perceived as a threat.” You may think you are friends with these people … but as President Truman said, if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog!
Power however is actually getting a politician to do what you want them to do … even if that is as simple as getting them to do what they said they would do on the campaign trial … or to simply follow the Republican Platform.
[NOTE: Another novice “misunderstanding” is thinking people / politicians / GOP officials would never just outright lie to your face. Trust no one!!! Verify everything!!! Good people don’t mind you asking questions. Know that these people lie constantly.]
MAKING THE HARD “ASK”: But wait until you ask a legislator to do something … the basics … like provide us with Medical Freedom, take PORN Books out of our libraries and schools … or God forbid you ask them to give us CLOSED PRIMARIES!!!
Ask them specifically what they will do, and all of a sudden you will learn there are 1,000 “excuses” … and you will know the difference between “political access” and “political power”.
We have seen it with SCHOOL CHOICE. Kids are needlessly suffering, it is an easy fix, and even the most far right school choice supporters cower at the prospect of crossing the “establishment”. They know the issue, yet they won’t speak up. That is when you know their true character.
Once you ask for something objectively right to do, but against the power structure … you will find out real quick your “access” means nothing. We did!!!
Your phone calls will no longer be returned. You will finally understand that politicians only care about getting elected or re-elected … and you will learn that unless you have the ability to REPLACE THEM, what you want for “We The People” really won’t matter if what you ask for is “hard”.
On the wall at HQ:
“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”
As we stated the last time we discussed this topic … if you don’t see it yet, you will, so just give it time and keep asking questions.
But if you are still excited to get a “selfie” with Lindsey Graham, you are probably reading the wrong daily emails and might want to unsubscribe. 😉
RUN FOR OFFICE
It is time friends!!! We are seeing PATRIOTS all over South Carolina starting to announce campaigns against incumbents.
285 days until the June 11th, 2024 Primary Election Day.
If you are running for office, thinking about it, or just have some questions … let us know at team@mySCGOP.com.
It is going to be an exciting 2024 election season!!!
We are not talking the late musician Tom Petty (HERE) or the famous NASCAR driver Richard Petty (HERE) … but we are talking the petty little people out there in politics that do dirty little things just for spite.
PETTY DEFINED: The Urban Dictionary defines petty as “a person who is purposefully childish with the intent of eliciting a reaction,” or “someone who does something in an attempt to hurt another person but really makes themselves look stupid.”
Petty Email Tricks
There are two nasty “political” email tricks we have noticed over the years that are hard to believe, but actually happen all the time.
(#1) Unsubscribing others from emails: First off, we have people contact us all the time saying they no longer receive our emails and asking what happened. We will check and the system will say they unsubscribed.
But the person never unsubscribed … so what happened?
Generally the person has forwarded our email to others in their precinct … and one of those people (a RINO) marked the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of the email footer.
Maybe by mistake … but most people know what they are doing, and they are doing it on purpose and to be nasty and petty.
SIMPLE SOLUTION … before you forward emails, remove the “unsubscribe” links from the footer of the email. Just highlight the links and hit delete … especially if you are forwarding the email to RINOs. 😉 It is easy.
(#2) Marking valid emails as “SPAM”: This petty little email trick is a classic.
As you may know, the more people that mark an email as “SPAM”, the more likely the big email providers (Google, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) with automatically send those emails to “JUNK”.
Folks that don’t want others to see / read our emails (yes, RINOs again) will mark them as “SPAM” on purpose … and we have seen many an experienced political operative, and even politicians, mark our emails as SPAM.
We even had one person this month sign-up for our email (“shawn.m.miller@outlook.com“) … using an obvious fake name (“Jim LaHounae”) … and when they opened their first email from us (ironically a mySCGOP Happy Sunday email), they marked it as SPAM.
Really nasty right?!?!? Especially given the Sunday message … but this is what these petty & envious people do.
When folks are scared others will hear your message and learn … petty political people will do everything they can to silence your voice. Granted anyone could have signed up “shawn.m.miller@outlook.com” … but only the one person with that email address could have marked it as “SPAM”. Not nice.
LearnTheirTRICKS!!!
DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE: As the saying goes … “it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness”.
Translation: if you’re not happy, do something about it … and that doesn’t mean go out and be petty and nasty to other people living their mission or dream … it means to go out an build something positive and good yourself.
Remember, “envy” is one of the seven deadly sins.
DontBePETTY!!!
“Blowing out someone else’s candle won’t make yours burn any brighter.”
You have to have a little FUN sometimes, and one Clemson student did just that at President TRUMP’s visit to the campaign HQ in Charleston on Monday.
As the President was signing hats for people he asked “will you sign my excuse for school”.
Of course President TRUMP said YES!!!
We hope his professors don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome 😉
Enjoy …

As we are entering the beautiful month of October, the month of transition, the month of change, slow down, look inward, reflect. Start the new month with strong intentions, renewed goals, deeper faith, less distractions, fewer doubts … as only the Lord knows which seed will grow and which won’t.
“But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.”
Mark 13:23
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), NEVER GIVE UP!
Happy Sunday!
