Seconded. I lived in Texas and learned to keep the peace and blow with the wind. Now, I'm in PNW, I'm similarly unsure how to proceed here. I'd fail any purity test administered.

Fellow PNW’er here. Welcome!
I think it’s actually pretty easy. Look at any county voting map. Prevailing party vote tracks population density without fail. American politics has turned into “The country mouse and the city mouse”.
Besides that, there’s a general sub vibe (e.g. Dog whistle effect) that usually signals the predominant opinion in an area.
