when i first moved there in 1998, i had a big ole harley. i had noticed the guy across the street had one so one day i figured i'd walk over there and see about riding, as i was walking over, he was walking to his garage, opened the garage door and hanging on the back wall of the garage was a HUGE confederate flag. i just turned right around and didn't look back. Nevertheless, over the next several years I logged 10000s of miles riding around that area, meeting/not-meeting people, eating great food, stepping in dog shit, whateve, many varied experiences, but i just don't remember anything liberal as a current or theme or tone there. and I'm from the South, my parents are from the deep South. I was raised in Pasadena, so anything liberal is noticeable to me and even more so then.
i'm not saying you are wrong, but i am saying in my experience i didn't find Austin liberal .
