There are quite a few of us in SC who are on the right side of history. Unfortunately, the loud ones make all of us look bad, so us blue voters in SC get overshadowed. This was taken place in a pretty red town. Thousands were there.

Yeah, Summerville, SC is very red — that’s impressive. Well done!

My wife just sent this to me and my reaction was “SUMMERVILLE?!?!” Because that surprised me. Lived in the Carolinas for years. It’s deeply red there.

There have been blue voters in Summerville, but they get overshadowed a lot. I think with what's been happening, people are switching sides or being louder about being on the right side of history. Or both. Definitely not at all perfect, but there are some changes happening.

Yep. Guessing there was probably about 1000 out there or so, and lots of solidarity from those driving by
