Augusta is MUCH different from Atlanta. The big reason the Atlanta METRO is still conservative is mostly economics, especially on the northside. However, the city/downtown area tends to be very liberal (one of the most liberal in the country surprisingly). Now, many of the kids are from “feeder schools” from Metro Atlanta (mainly Cobb/Marietta (especially East Cobb), Gwinnett, North Fulton, etc.) They’ve grown up in fiscally conservative environments (not so much religious, IMO). But, you generally won’t hear kids spouting “Bush is God” or anything like that; in fact, many of us don’t like G Dubya. Like others on here have said, most don’t get into politics here.
