He actually goes out of his way to mock either conservatives or Republicans in one of his books. It's the most recent one I read, I'll see if I can find it. Also, mocks religion in multiple stories. And I read South of Broad a long time ago, but looking back at the plot, pretty damn big on identity politics and social justice.
I've also read most of his books. I'm from SC, live in Charleston.
And out of curiosity, I searched "pat Conroy obama"
I do not think I was a hothead—not then and not now. I thought I was right. I had read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bible. Segregation seemed evil from the time I was a boy. Slavery is an abomination on the American soul, ineradicable stain on our body politic. But Penn Center lit a fire that has never gone out, and the election of President Barack Obama was one of the happiest days of my life.
ole the civil rights movement had on the white boys and girls of the South. Bill Clinton would never have become who he was without the shining example of Martin Luther King. The same is true of Jimmy Carter and Fritz Hollings and Richard and Joe Riley. Imagine this: you’re a little white kid and you watch firehoses turned on people who don’t seem to be hurting anyone, and fierce dogs being tuned on young men who carry signs about freedom. We white kids grew up watching movies and TV and guess what we had learned to do? We had learned to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Sorry dude. Longtime author and teacher, its gonna be a leftist 90% of the time. We got Crichton.
Conroy was obsessed with the "southern racism" shit. As a South Carolinian, forget him.
Edit - note, I was unaware of these quotes until today. I was randomly reading one of his books about a year ago and he either called conservatives or Republicans heartless or dumb. Believe it was talking about muh healthcare or something. I put down the book and haven't read anything else since then. I've read about 4 or 5 of his books and watched some of the movies. But I'm tired of leftist agendas in culture.
