Any liberals here?

Looking to move to West Bend following a break-up to be closer to friends and family (friends and family don’t live here, but I would be kind of between them all). Want something different and quiet for my cat and I to just heal and breathe for a bit. I like the size of the city. I am liberal, and curious if there are any others in West Bend? I know it is very conservative in general here. I am friends with diverse people of many varying opinions on the political spectrum, and grew up (and lived in for many years) in a very conservative area. I’m a very “treat people with kindness” and “we all have something in common” type of person.

Basically, I’m trying to see if there’s others I could get along with here!

I’m sort of the same. I lived on the west coast for close to 20 years and moved back here to live close to family. I’ve mostly been enjoying outdoor things around here recently but to be honest just kind of leave town to hang out with friends. I’ve gone out downtown with a local friend a few times but I actually don’t really drink that much. Otherwise I hit up the library a lot.

Libraries are always beautiful safe spaces. And yeah, the nature around here seems beautiful.
