and he keeps debating the strawman he constructed. he is incorrigible.
all i did is present a fact that Greenville's county only had 1599 less Hillary voters than Asheville's county. this isn't contrarian, it is a fact. my point is that there are a lot of liberals in the Upstate. i used a comparison to the number of Hillary voters in Asheville ,which has a strong liberal reputation, to make this point. i have never at any point stated that Greenville is majority Democrat.

Columbia and Charleston are certainly not liberal compared with Asheville. However, they are the only main cities in SC that are possibly in the same orbit as liberal cities. Even in those cases, electing anything other than a Republican is hard, especially with the way districts re drawn up today.
Trump won and we're going to have a great country and everyone will get along and racism and racist accusations will subside and all you whiny self absorbed lefties need to grow up.

And this is completely off-topic so keep it moving.

I agree with thay especially charleston because you have the old residents mixed with many new residents with new ideas
It depends on what you mean by a "short drive" and by "liberal".
Any state university town is going to have a more congenial atmosphere for "liberals". That was the case in Charlottesville VA, and also in Chapel Hill NC (I lived in each for five years). The Research Triangle area is in the middle of NC, and a few hours from both the coast and the mountains. If that's not a problem, you might consider both Durham and Chapel Hill in the Triangle area (Raleigh for a larger town). As well as Asheville, Columbia SC is worth considering and it does have a sizable lake nearby.
On the coast you might also consider Charleston SC and Savannah GA, both of which I think might be places where alternative healers could succeed at starting a business. However, you're a few hours from the mountains in these places.
I have found Savannah to be much more liberal than Charleston but since the question seemed to be Carolinas focused I hadn't put it in the mix. Charleston itself has pockets of liberals but we are not really a liberal town.
