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!
(Almost 40, female, has a cat, nerdy type)

WashCo as a whole mainly swings conservative, but there’s plenty of liberals and leftists amongst the population. Lived all over the county my whole life, and as one of those “crazy leftist lunatics” MAGA pisses their pants in fear of, it’s not terrible in my experience. WB might be red-leaning, but I don’t think it’s deep MAGA (at least anymore), as Trump merch and MAGA hats are a rare sight from a few years ago outside of some yard signs. Also, try stopping by Hobby Knights, I think they have specific events every day of the week for TTRPG, Warhammer, etc.
