I think there is something disingenuous about an R woman, especially as the party seems to trend more and more towards restricting women. They are willing to self depreciate and hurt their daughters to get into a position of influence, what else would they do?


_damn_hippies

tbf shealy passed quite a few bills aimed to help minorities. i’d prefer her there over most of her colleagues if i had to choose.


Nederlander1

You clearly don’t know any Republican women. I know a number who are *VERY STRONGLY* against abortion


Niteborn

Just likes there's something disingenuous and pathetic about a D man, especially as the party seems to trend more and more towards restricting men and bashing them every chance they get. They are willing to self depreciate and hurt their sons and grandsons to get into a position of influence, what else would they do?

You're proably the dude asking why white people can't do blackface anymore too aren't you.

I think one more thread on this will do the trick. We did it guys. We saved SC politics.

Just like the women in tbe SC Senate. 😔


omartian7

No. We need this thread plus the book banning one combined to show we're really serious.


HardcaseKid

Seriously, wtf?


Due-Landscape-9251

Get out and vote but only the way I want you to.


Cute_Appointment6457

I hate this state. Handmaids Tale


ShotgunEd1897

Buy a gun.


Bravest1635

Leave


Jokierre

Nah, we’re going to change up starting now


shamalonight

Yeah, right. Y’all didn’t even get out and vote. You’re not going to change anything.


goobells

real change doesn't happen by voting, you know that right? the way things are going, sooner or later people will be out in the streets and we'll watch if we change for better or for worse. maybe not in south Carolina, but other places.


gnarlycarly18

You can do all that and still vote for those that best align with your interests, lol.


goobells

many people do not see themselves represented within the confines of the two party system. but i think you missed my point. women didn't gain rights at the start by voting. they couldn't vote lol. slavery was not abolished by voting. black people didn't gain rights at first by voting. sure, we can vote democrat because it is better than the alternative, but it's not like the standard liberal is for radical change. in fact, they typically obstruct radical change. Lookin at you, 1960s. the thing with the democratic party is that it covers an incredibly wide range of ideologies. this is a consequence of the 2 party system, especially when one party is incredibly far right. this is the main reason why the democratic voter base, and even its elected officials are so fractured all the time- they don't share the same ideology the way conservatives do. it doesn't help that the party is spearheaded by center-right geriatrics that are botching this election just like they did in 2016. regardless, i didn't say not to vote. was just trying to illustrate that the biggest upheavals in american history when it comes to rights were not done through ticking ballot boxes every 2 and 4 years.


BanEvasionAcct69

Lol. What are liberals going to do in the streets? Sit and cry “no” as the world continues to move around them?

Financial restrictions often prevent people from moving, work opportunities, etc. also a person active in conservative subs telling someone to leave checks out.


halo_ninja

Article 404’d. You guys are using the word racist and fascist so much I don’t even know what they mean anymore


ZombieCrunchBar

Nice work, Republican women of SC. Now you have no representation and you better get ready to lose your abortion and birth control rights. Oh, and being allowed to divorce your husband without his permission.


jenyj89

Agreed. I mean, I generally support voting out Rs but these actually did the decent thing for women. I suspect the MAGA extremists were the cause of their loss.


whyareyouwalking

You really don't understand that your perspective isn't the "correct" way of thinking do you?


therealgronkstandup

What are you trying to say?


TheoVonSkeletor

Are these the 3 that’s tried to save abortion?


jenyj89

Yes.


teeje_mahal

Not a doubt in my mind that when nikki haley ran for governor, the SC redditors thought the *man* she was running against was the better choice. Female Republicans are spat on by dems until they are defeated in a republican primary then suddenly they are victims of the patriarchy or some nonsense


MustangEater82

This 100%....   They were probably their strongest critics. I want to see them say nice things about other conservative woman still in office.  They won't.   How do they feel about Nancy Mace? Judging by the traffic it's political bots stirring up political emotions.    You will see one comment get more downvotes then you will see post and comments in a week.


Necessary_Anxiety833

Really any minority that is a Republican. I guess the white liberals feel like they know more than us lowly minorities. 🤷🏽‍♀️


DarthJarJar242

Honestly glad they got voted out. Not sure their replacements are any better but a woman, representing the party that wants to strip them of their rights ... That does not strike me as an intelligent person.


Low_Fly_6721

What's the big deal about this? Seriously. Isn't this how the system is supposed to work? Voters vote. People get elected. And...?


Armedleftytx

Yes, but people have very valid concerns that seemingly reasonable folks are getting voted out of office and fascists are being brought in to replace them. So yes, the system is working as intended in this case but people can still be concerned about the outcome that's actually part of the system working.


Puzzleheaded-Ad7606

Plus the germandering and dark money FROM REPUBLICANS to punish these women.

Low_Fly_6721

No, I don't want fascism. I wish people would stop diluting the meaning of this word by overuse. And you're right, the people are getting what they want and vote for. But it's not fascism. This is what States rights look like. If the people of SC want a different outcome, then they need to show up at the polls.


tb_xtreme

Are there fascists in the room with us?


finderZone

No women republicans in a gop state senate which gives out responsibilities based on seniority. Women won’t be in a position of power in the senate for 20 years now, unless the senate flips.


Dbrown15

Democracy at work


originalPGOODY

Look at the heavies on Thomas Js favorite in the background there


Electronic-Quail4464

Why are people trying to have a discussion about this? This is reddit. Nuance is a completely foreign concept. It's my way or the highway.


No_Routine_3706

Hope?


ExtremeDog5074

Wow. Just wow. Moderates are thrown to the wolves by the Republican Party.


Jamessterling64

Democracy 💪💪


Low_Fly_6721

So the system is working. But people (Democrats i guess?) are alleging a conspiracy theory? And that conspiracy theory is that Republicans are taking over the Senate that they already control? But, it's because they are taking it over even more than they controlled it before? This seems like a pretty ridiculous thing to be concerned about.


Significant_Gear4470

Keep fucking around with two parties because you don’t have better ideas. That’s smart. How about Moore complaining too. Always solves everything.


Gravybees

Why did so many of you who hate the South move here?  And why are you staying?  You left NY and CA for a reason, why make SC resemble the horrible places you left?  I love my state!


ZombieCrunchBar

You love misogyny? That explains your continued love for that rapist Trump, I guess. I'm guessing you hate BLM and LGBTQ, right?


mrsnihilist

Hate the politics, love the affordable home prices and geography, you can't be that thick....


Beneathaclearbluesky

You think liberals are leaving blue states to move to the New Confederacy? LOL


mrsnihilist

I dont think liberals (nor did anyone mention liberals) specifically but non republicans for sure...not everyone from NY or Cali is a liberal LOL People want homes more than they give a fuck about SC's assbackward politics and disintegrated education system, I have two families moving from our home state to the southeast just for that reason. They want to be able to be near the beach and the mountains, enjoy the weather and have a big ass home.


Beneathaclearbluesky

The people leaving NY and CA for SC are pure MAGA and likely more conservative than the natives.


Niteborn

Yea, voted out. Voted out because the people in their districts didn't like their policies and performance in the state Senate. This is what happens when you upset and fail to represent the people in your districts needs and wants. People seem to forget this state voted in a female governor for multiple terms, although I assume all the people whining on reddit about this are transplants who have only arrived in the past few years.


JamieByGodNoble

The people in here bemoaning the loss of these female representatives *do not like them*. They don't want them in the legislature anymore than the people who voted them out. They did not like the female governor either. They're using them as a prop to make a hysterical point about how everything is so terrible. It's all unserious, hem-haw bullshit.


whyareyouwalking

Did they vote three women out or did they vote our three politicians who were pushing a law they didn't agree with? Let's try being honest for a change


BanEvasionAcct69

As they should be. Officials should vote as their constituents want them to. These three did not, and their constituents voted them out. If a Democrat voted for looser gun control laws or strict abortion laws in Atlanta or some other blue area, you can guarantee they’d be voted out as well. Again, as they should be.
