As far as Fayetteville goes, yes Washington county is conservative. But as for the city of Fayetteville. It is a Liberal shite hole with zero right leaning. Fayetteville drags down Washington county’s conservative average.

Starkville being somewhat liberal is crazy to me. But they have had students try to join ISIS so it’s not that shocking I guess

College town invariably will lean left

The political climate in Gainesville, FL is moderately liberal.
This is incorrect, Gainesville and Alachua County are flamingly liberal. I think that the city and county commissions combined have only had one Republican commissioner over the last 25-30 years. The established residents (meaning non-student and non-faculty) are conservative for the most part, matching the leanings of the surrounding counties, but when you have 80,000 to 90,000 motivated college folks that vote, you get the shitty community leaders that we have, and their shitty policies, and the shitty wasteful spending that we have around here.
I’d rank UF and Gainesville on par with Texas and even lower, if possible.
Posted on 9/28/25 at 7:02 pm to BoomerandSooner
Now do Atlanta, Georgia. Do Nashville. Do Jackson, MS. Do Tallahassee. Etc., etc., etc.
This ranking is strongly geared toward, related to, Capital Cities and percentages of black populations of those said capital cities.
Austin is the exception but Austin is the Ann Arbor of the South these days. It didn't used to be that way.
SC is a solidly Red State but, unfortunately, we've got yankee libtards moving down here in droves ... so it's spreading along the coast and around Greenville/Clemson.

Richland County's liberalism is also directly related to demographics. It's 45% black.

I strongly implied that.
Richland County is also home to four colleges/universities .... Columbia College (women's college), Benedict (black hbcu), Allen (black hbcu), and The U of SC.
Richland County is also home to the wealthiest, predominantly black, suburb in the state ... Spring Valley.
