“Local” Derangement Syndrome

What do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the traits of derangement syndrome?

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).

See the discussion. Jeff Davis explains the timeline of events (42:37)… and Jeff Magg come to the mic and says it is all untrue (44:55).

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?

Choosing the Right Candidate: A Thoughtful Approach

(#1) Electable & (#2) Collaborative

Published

Jeff Davis

by Jeff Davis

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.

TRUMP Shares Nancy MACE Polling Lead for Governor

Mace Leads with 25% over Wilson at 17%

Published

August 19, 2025

mySCGOP.news

TRUMP Truth Social Post (HERE)

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!!!
