Thankfully Austin doesn’t represent all of us. UT breeds more of it and they stay there hoping to “keep Austin Weird”. Most of the state is deep red, which made me laugh in 2016 when the media said TX was in trouble of flipping.

I spent some time in Portland. Worse than California. They say Hawaii is worst of all.
I spend every other weekend in Portland and used to live in HI. HI is more blue than Oregon but Portland is more in your face than anything you'll usually find in HI.

I have seen a few unique individuals in Ashville, NC also. North Carolina as a whole is still red, but it is shifting somewhat.

Like, if you get to see one, you should be grateful and adore them like angels. Very weird, and I suspect that's a personality trait more applicable to liberals than conservatives.
I’ve only seen NYC
I also spent some time in Buffalo at a time when their economy wasn't doing so hot. Very blue collar city. Other than the public union guys I was working with, who were proudly bilking the system, the regular folks seemed pretty normal. Again, I never really detected a "liberal" vibe.
Asheville, N.C., was saturated with leftist vibe.

I wouldn’t have but I went there right after the election and a lot of service workers were very vocal. I engaged politely, as did other patrons. They really didn’t have any arguments other than the media talking points. When challenged, again politely, they had no argument.
This was much better than having a “discussion” with CA liberals, but it’s clear there is an indoctrination and they don’t even know why.

Northern Virginia has a serious case of it also.
I drove across Virginia a couple of years ago and it was pretty odd. I remember seeing a guy in a jacked up truck with a don’t tread on me tag with a giant confederate flag mounted in the bed of his truck. Saw a lot of conservative tags/stickers on vehicles. Every political sign and radio commercial I heard was extremely liberal though and it was election season so there were plenty of them.

Oregon then Washington then California. Austin is on a level of California IMO but it's not the worst.
This is such a misnomer. Oregon really isn't liberal. It's one city with young squatters. Portland.
The rest of the state is all AG, old famers and hardcore conservatives who vowed to make Oregon the Alabama of the North. Meaning they were looking for a white Utopia on the West Coast. That was the Oregon Trial dream. And yeah...they were totally racist. They put it in their Constitution that no N-word were allowed in Oregon.
This idea that Oregon is some peace-loving liberal paradise is all absurd and propaganda.
It's all shite-kickers and dip-chewers.
And the most liberal is obviously S.F. in the entire country...that place is insane...anything goes, anything...it's like Caligula is running the joint.

SW Virginia is still very conservative. Very much like the Southeatern US.

Very true. Some of these guys should take a drive through the Willamette Valley some time.

I've never really noticed when I'm on trips how liberal or conservative a places is.
I notice nice places and nice people.

I don't really know,because I don't interact much with the locals.
If we go by the highest number of Subarus,then it's Virginia.
Some people said "Maryland",maybe they are right.. The black people there have their own mountain.
It's called Negro Mountain.
I've never seen a White Folks Mountain.

Yep...you can throw a rock in Austin and hit a gay, tranny, sjw, Libtard, etc... but if you go about 15 miles outside Austin, it gets conservative quick.

Asheville is what happens when white people with no problems and too much money are left to their own devices.
That said, I dare you - I double dare you - to name a metropolitan city you feel safer walking the streets of.

I would say the main reason Austin is liberal is because so many people are moving there for high tech jobs from liberal places, like California, Seattle, Europe, Asia, etc...
There a MANY transplants in Austin.

That is occurring in the Charlotte area as well.

Washington D.C., although technically not a state. Uncomfortably liberal.

All my friends from Massachusetts are very conservative. Maybe they just escaped it.
Mass is a fairly socially conservative state outside of Boston and even within many parts of Boston.
It's just still a very heavily pro-union and pro-immigrant place, and for many people who have great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents that have been voting D since forever, it is anathema for them to even think about voting R. Still, Charlie Baker is very popular there, and Mitt could probably run and still win there.
It is not as purely liberal as NYC, the major California cities, Chicago, lots of the rest of the Eastern Seaboard, etc. Rhode Island actually shares a lot of similar characteristics. Raimondo is probably too conservative for a lot of D's at the national level.
ETA: Hawaii is probably the most liberal state end-to-end. Maryland and Vermont are pretty damn liberal as well.
