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.”

TRUMP Derangement Syndrome (TDS) (HERE) … we have all heard of it … pulled our hair out over it … and for those of us that like to get into the details and use critical thinking skills, we feel like it is utter insanity!!!!

Yes, we now know not to (generally) trust the mainstream media … and we know to ignore the “crazies” like the screaming lady pictured above who is now the posterchild for TDS … but what do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the exact same traits of derangement syndrome?

What do you do when a fellow County Executive Committeeman (EC) starts saying things that are objectively and provably FALSE?

What do you do when someone you have to work with personally won’t listen to ANY REASON whatsoever? Won’t meet and “talk”? Won’t open their email or look at a single document?

And worst of all … what do you do when “others” believe that person and act / vote based on what that person says?

It is a real quandary and frankly we believe this local “derangement syndrome” is ripping our communities and our Country apart … and is certainly rampant here in South Carolina and within the SCGOP and local County GOPs.

LOCAL DERANGEMENT SYNDROME:

The “Sauna Meeting” (HERE, HERE & HERE) is going to go down in SCGOP history as the perfect learning example of what is going on with this derangement syndrome that has seeped down into local politics.

The example is extreme in that you have an otherwise reasonable appearing person (Jeff Magg) claiming the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) does not have a required “budget” … but that same person is the one who created the budget (as the elected Treasurer at the time), called it a budget, presented the budget for passage to the GCRP EC Body (on video 2/7/2022), and voted for the budget at least twice.

Say what?!?!?

And worse … this same person (Jeff Magg), a local Greenville Precinct EC and the former GCRP Treasurer … led a group of other individuals to call an “emergency” Special Meeting with less than 48 hours notice over the issue (that the Budget he prepared & presented in 2022, now never existed) … and other people actually believed him.

And he wasn’t alone … a local attorney and former GCRP Chairman from the 1990s (Stephen Brown, Esq.) supported Jeff Magg, egged him on, and helped orchestrate the entire “Sauna Meeting” debacle. It is bizarre … so folks need to ask themselves, “what is really going on?”

[NOTE: Some people have issues … like the TDS posterchild lady above … while others, for their own personal and political motives, are purposefully stoking derangement syndrome in uninformed individuals – and those people need to be EXPOSED!!! This selfish mental manipulation (HERE, HERE & HERE) is what we want everyone to learn to identify … and we must if we want to Save South Carolina & Save America.]

JUST THE FACTS:

February 3rd, 2023: The GCRP Executive Board, including Jeff Magg & Stephen Brown, met at the GCRP HQ and both voted in favor (7-1) to approve the 2022 Budget & $1,250 Lease Terms.

Feb. 6, 2022: Jeff Magg submits Budget to Chairman Davis.
Feb. 7, 2022: Jeff Magg (as Treasurer) presents Budget to the full GCRP EC Body.
March 1, 2022: Jeff Magg quits as GCRP Treasurer after asked to prepare appropriate financial statements.
March 7, 2022: GCRP EC Body UNANIMOUSLY (less 1) passes 2022 Budget and Lease.
Jan. 31, 2023: GCRP EC Body renews exact same Budget for 2023.

September 14th, 2023: Jeff Magg leads a less than 48 hour notice emergency “Special Meeting” and state to the GCRP EC Body that:

• He has never seen a Budget (even though Jeff Magg prepared the Budget and presented it to the GCRP EC Body when he was Treasurer).
• GCRP does not have a Budget (even though Jeff Magg voted to approve the Budget and lease terms at least twice).
• GCRP did not have access to HQ until mid-March 2022 so we should not have paid rent starting 1/1/2022, even though the GCRP had full 24/7 access starting 12/15/2021 and had numerous events at the building (and Jeff Magg personally attended such events / meetings).

FEEDBACK:  You always have to check … “are we the crazy ones?”  WE don’t think their side ever asks themselves that question, but we do, and we think that is what will keep us on the path of TRUTH.

But give us your feedback?  What do you see happening locally with these deranged actions by some?  We have heard all sorts of reasons from psychopathy liars, to the effects of the COVID vaccine (or shedding for those who are not vaccinated) … up to demon possessed.  We don’t know, but send us your thoughts at team@mySCGOP.com.

If we do not fix this … and get people “talking” to one another … will it ever end?

#NeverGiveUP!!!

It is one of the most common tricks in the “establishment” book … bring up something dramatic that you have to vote on RIGHT NOW!!!

No time to think about it (or figure out the truth) … “they” need you to vote this way, this very second, on a major issue. Just “trust me”.

GREENVILLE COUNTY CONVENTION EXAMPLE:

We saw that here in Greenville with the Greenville County Convention back on April 24th, 2023 … the establishment / opposition candidate for Chairman, Sam Manley, came out with a video literally one day before the convention (falsely) claiming that Federal Election Commission records showed that Yvonne Julian (the ultimate winner – HERE) had donated to Democrats in 2014, 2016 & 2018. A local establishment news blog even shared the false claim as well (conveniently without fact checking as they had endorsed the “establishment” ticket) … so people believed it must be true, right?

Well, had it been true it would have been disturbing … but it wasn’t true at all, not by a longshot … A COMPLETE LIE!!!

Some convention delegates figured it out in time, but the vote was closer than it should have been … 438 to 405 … likely because some people believed the LIE. And had Yvonne lost, because of a LIE, what would have happened?

Nothing!!! There are not “do overs” in elections (or leadership votes) … at least not immediately in most cases. And no one seems to suffer the ramifications of these LIES. Sam Manley should be ashamed to show his face (like some of the others that help perpetrate the LIE), but he is in fact today parading himself around as a “TRUMP County Captain” … hanging out buddy buddy with establishment politicians … all after outright LYING 4 months ago in a vain attempt to win an election. Is that right? No, we don’t think so!!! It wasn’t an innocent mistake … to us it was a career killer.

And, what does it say about the people who condone these outright LIES??? That is most troubling part … how can anyone condone outfight LIES like this? Doing so won’t bode well for those people either. Unrepentant LIES can not be tolerated.

Realize people LIE in politics because it works … and that is our fault … we can not fall for the LIES or the last minute “crisis”!!! #LearnTheirTricks!!!

Nor can we condone these LIES by looking the other way after the fact.

So … as a RULE … when there is a last minute “crisis”, just table to vote for a later time so people can consider the matter … or if you have to vote, vote against whatever they are pressuring you to do, or whatever last minute revelation that comes out.

State & Local GOP Meetings:

Since there are no ReOrg or Convention elections until March & April 2025, we are seeing this “trick” play out at local county and the state GOP meetings.

36 HOURS NOTICE: We saw it out of SCGOP Executive Director Hope Walker who 36 hours before the June 17th State Executive Committee meeting informed Jeff Davis (the Greenville State EC elected on April 24th) that he could not attend the meeting. No time to correct the situation or for other County ECs to consider the matter. A made up “crisis” to force through a nefarious outcome.

The vote to keep Davis out was much closer that the SCGOP “establishment” wanted (HERE) … but your county State ECs should have voted “NO” (and allowed Davis in the meeting) for no other reason than the matter should not have been sprung on everyone at the last minute. #LearnTheirTricks!!!

So, why did the SCGOP wait until the last minute to deny Davis entry … because, like LIES, it worked (at least this time)!!!

LOCAL GOP MEETINGS:

We are also seeing this tactic play out at local County GOP meetings.

Groups of individuals, often some co-opted MAGA & America FIRST folks who want to be in leadership / power themselves, working (overtly or covertly) with the old guard “establishment” who want to do everything they can to slow down the America FIRST agenda. Don’t fall for these tricks!!!

[NOTE TO SELF …if you have to work with RINOs against other America FIRST Patriots to cobble together the votes you need … you might be on the wrong side!!!]

It happened in the 2021- 2023 ReOrg term with both the Horry & Oconee County GOPs where the “establishment” were able to use these political tactics to take back the local county party.

But folks are waking up to those “tricks”. The disenfranchised and “establishment” will keep trying it as it does work sometimes … but #LearnTheirTricks!!! Don’t fall for it. Hold the Line!!!

Again … as a RULE … when there is a last minute “crisis”, just table to vote for a later time so people can consider the matter … or if you have to vote, vote against whatever they are pressuring you to do, or whatever last minute revelation that comes out.

Keep swinging friends … we are #Winning!!!
