Four seats, a pediatrician, and a South Carolina incumbent gone, and somehow everyone still acts shocked that midterms happen every two years like a bad sitcom rerun. I’ve watched this movie so many times I know the popcorn-to-plot ratio by heart. Ads screamed, donors wrote checks they’ll regret, and the voters did what voters do: quietly decided. Funny how the whole circus ends with a single sentence in a results table.
