Hi, I'm a liberal, white, college educated woman who is thinking of taking a job in Sumter. Are tree-hugging, pro-choice, patchoulli-wearing, pro-gay marriage, anti-war Democrats likely to be accepted at all? We have a fairly high tolerance for views other than our own (that is, conservative), but will we be completely alone socially or, worse, likely to encounter public diapproval? Any information you can provide would be helpful.
Thanks.
Folks like that exist in Sumter, sure. They're rare, though. Try the artsy crowd. Anyone affiliated with the art gallery or the little theatre is bound to be more up your alley.
In addition to being a smallish Southern town, Sumter is a military town. That makes for a doubly conservative mix many times.

Yes, socially I think you will be completely alone. I don't think Sumter is for you at all. Just my opinion.

This is a prime example why no one should ever let politics rule over who they are. You limit yourself too much when you do in order to keep in lockstep with those of your political ilk. Such a shame!
And show me a liberal who has a "high tolerance for for views other than their own" and i'll show you beachfront property in Nebraska.

Um. I'm pretty liberal. And I like to think I'm pretty tolerant. Family reunions would be impossible if I wasn't.
There are lots of places in Five Points where you can find patchoulli.
