Unfortunately, a substantial portion of the inbound folks moving into North Carolina and South Carolina are nanny state liberals from the Northeast who bring their statist values with them. Raleigh and Asheville in NC and Charleston and Greenville in SC especially hit hard.
Yes riverdawg-the number is growing in Greenville. You hear these people on local talk radio complaining about everything in the South.They have come from areas like NY and NJ and brought their identity politics with them.
