I am not sure its the progressive polices but instead just bad timing by republicans. If SC had waited until after the mid terms to overturn Roe things could have turned out different. Also this crusade that the GOP has with the LGBT community was also probably a factor. Before, GOP kind of just ignored the community but they were actively campaigning against them which probably solidified their base but lost them many more independents. A lot of the races were very close and usually in those situations, independent voters are the ones that swing them one way or the other.
