And, you know, there's a whole incestuous process for how this whole, the state works.

It really is.

I mean, you know, we, we call it a, a kind of a plantation mentality.

And, and, you know, the white Democrats that ran this state for decades are really the same people as the white Republicans running it now.

I mean, I'm, I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you.

And you mentioned uni-party, and that is very accurate because I think when you look at the governing majority in South Carolina, you got two chambers of the legislature that have supermajorities, uh, Republican supermajorities.

But the conservative Republicans, the ones who are really pushing for the things like redistricting that we're gonna talk about, they get shouted down, and it's always this sort of, uh, core of centrist, I guess you call them, uh, I call them, you know, left of center Republicans that always align with the Democrats to create that governing majority.

... and how it's unique to South Carolina.
