In this candid conversation, former Mark Sanford chief of staff Scott English joins Grace to unpack South Carolina’s shifting political identity, the rise of performative politics, and the deep roots of division fueled by algorithm-driven outrage. They explore why local politics no longer feels insulated from national storms, how gerrymandering and party purity tests have reshaped the state, and why waiting for someone else to fix it is a losing game. If you care about South Carolina’s future, this episode will challenge you to think about your role in it.
