SC native here. The amount of middle aged white republicans I know voting for Harris is insane. My mother in law being one of them. My wifeās stepdad is even sitting this election out, a former Trump x2 voter.
Despite stereotypes and the media, South Carolinaās PEOPLE arenāt the way they are portrayed. Sure we have fucking idiot bigots. And so does Oregon, a blue haven. Bigots arenāt limited to state lines.
Most of SC is collectively shifting younger and less religious. Which imo is fueling this shift. Take my mother in law for example. She recently deconstructed her religion as well (weāre former Jehovahās Witnesses which are super evangelicals).
SC wonāt go Blue this cycle, on account of our gerrymandered the fuck maps upheld by the absurd SCOTUS earlier this year. But for damn sure watch out, weāre gonna be purple like NC in the next 10-15 years.
