We had the opportunity to move to Charleston from a western state a few years back. We genuinely liked the city, but the people freaked us the gently caress out. The company courting my wife was 100% segregated. No one said anything explicitly racist, but they didn't have to.

It's really weird how many people will walk into a space that is de facto segregated and not even pick up on the total homogeneity. Like any time anyone finds themselves in a room that is all white or whatever alarm bells should be going off because that poo poo never just happens incidentally.

It’s also a very poor representation of SC, as it’s probably the bluest (purple) part of the state. If you’ve been to Charleston, it’s a cool city, but you haven’t seen South Carolina. Most the white people here are from out of state (read: Ohio/Pennsylvania). I am sorry we freaked you out though.

It's not so much that they've changed their mind it's rather how sharply they flip between the two. This isn't a one time thing, it's pure opportunism by them as they hold no interests or views higher than their own power and influence. They have no real deeply held beliefs other than that they should be the ones in charge.

I also believe change and growth is possible. Look at Gov Northam, trying to learn from his blackface scandal and being assigned the Case for Reparations and Roots as homework. But it isn't enough to say "I used to believe that, now I don't." You have to explain why, you have to repudiate that former position, and display some sort of contrition or sincere belief that you were wrong and new info has changed your mind, not that you simply changed to follow the winds.

I'm torn between my empathetic Cancer Moon tendencies and hating Graham so much I sometimes wonder why he wont spontaneously combust from all of my passionate abhorrence of his existence. It's more this: what, exactly, has Trump done to DISPROVE some of the things Graham accused him of during the primary? If he was unfit to lead then, and a liar and a conman, what concrete things has he done in the intervening years to make Graham completely flip on his view of Trump besides wield the power of the presidency? Absolutely nothing, right? If anything, he's gone about proving every one of his detractors right over and over again ever since. Yet now Graham thinks he's fine as can be. I wonder why? That's more than simply changing one's mind. It's bootlicking of the most loathsome sort, since he's doing it to try and gain power from a white nationalist authoritarian. He, the one who mashed the DECORUM button for years alongside McCain. He can get hosed. And I think, based on my reasoning herein, I am 100% fine with my morality on the subject and have held him to a fair standard.

Also with Graham specifically, he was very consistently critical of Trump all the way through the primaries and even the GE. Then he had a private round of golf with Trump and eer since then, he has literally been the first and loudest voice in the room to praise Trump or to dismiss any criticism. So, either Trump is just incredibly charismatic and possesses superhuman charm, or he has receipts that Graham can't afford to be public.

He thought Trump was gonna lose so he positioned himself as mr 'I warned us, I knew he was a dangerous choice' and then Trump won and he went bootlicker in an instant.

I don't know about you guys but I do think there is a segment of trump's base that are like that. I mean c'mon. They voted for trump so obviously they aren't making good decisions in the first place. I love how all the people in the comments make it sound like it was an overwhelming victory on the part of trump when the reality is he was barely able to squeak by when facing the worst of the worst in a situation when the election is tilted in his favor.

Didn't his flipping really kick into high gear when the writing was on the wall for McCain? It would fit the "political pilot fish" framing of things for him to switch allegiances the instant his friendship with McCain started to show signs of no longer being able to deliver him a ticket to the media spotlight.

designed to protect a GOP President, or the GOP? Because I think soon (like in the next day or so) the calculus will shift and the Murdochs will realize they can Otherize Trump as an aberration and Pence's 'steady grandpa' vibe can let them ride out the first term and just paint Trump as a non-GOP entity. The CHUDs have nowhere else to go, Trump isn't gonna do the work of starting a competing conservative network, he's just gonna piss and moan on Twitter. If FOX commits 100% to exhalting Pence 24/7 as the best ever restoring honor to the office while damnatio memoriaeing Trump, I think it could work. Conservatives fall in line, remember?

Absolutely, people are allowed to change their mind, but that means you believe the person is operating in good faith. It's often difficult to tell when someone is operating in good faith, see for example trolling or sealioning. With Graham, we know he's not operating in good faith. Good on you for trying to see humanity where you can find it. But don't let yourself get played, that'll just make it worse.

The turnout component is progressive activism but the pearl clutchers/Aaron Sorkin cosplayers alll are sick of Trumpian instability.

Considering that corruption itself likely was the U.S. administration's long-anticipated Middle East plan, this is less a shocking turn of events and more of a mild spoiler.
