i think we're extremely liberal as an enclave. the old-timers i know are, by and large, liberal and inclusive -- not "democratic socialists," but old-school, "inclusive" democrats. conservatives tend to be loud, whether in person or online, and they make sure their voices are heard. look at forums like this or the Facebook pages, and you'll see a handful of conservatives beating the drum with multiple posts/statements and three times as many liberals replying once and then walking away. (a real walk away, not the hashtag kind).
yes, some people won't talk publicly out of fear of "conserva-shaming," but we have a secret ballot. look at the 2016 presidential election. look at all our local elections. surely, if we were more conservative, SOME people would vote that way.
