I forget where I saw this but after an election I saw the results on how Olney voted and it was split very evenly. Not quite 50-50 but a good diverse mix.

I can believe that. Trump love is both open and common in Olney. But conservatives are by no means the only type you see there.

It isn't clear what OP means by conservative. Does that mean simply knowing your neighbors vote the same way you do? Does it mean not wanting to see yard signs for liberal candidates and causes? Does it mean not wanting your kids to play with kids who have gay parents? Is this religious, social or political conservatism?

OP, you're probably better off living wherever you want but sending the kids to a Catholic school. You'll probably find your crowd that way before you find a "conservative" neighborhood.

yep

My friend lives in what is considered to be a very moderate NOVA neighborhood.

My friend is religious and conservative, but fun and well liked. Her neighbors all socialized with her family all the time.

She did not vote for Trump (and didn't discuss the election with anyone in her neighborhood.

After Hillary lost, over half of her neighbors stopped speaking to her, stopped letting their kids play with her kids, and stopped including her for neighborhood functions. They did not know who her family voted for, just that it was probably not Hillary, and that was enough for her once friends and very friendly neighbors to completely cut her off. They did they same to the handful of other conservative neighbors, basically any of the people who were jot crying on Wednesday morning. It was and is insane how crazy and intollerant these people are.

I call your story BS. Never happened.

OP, don't move to MoCo. Move to KY or AL, as someone suggested. With that much money you can buy a palace there.

I followed a link from DCUM but I can't find it again.

Then why is my elected Representative a socialist?

Look for neighborhoods around Catholic Churches/catholic schools

New Hampshire and Maine are conservative states as well. There are some conservatives who feel uncomfortable around Southerners. For example, there are conservative Catholics of Irish and Italian heritage or conservative Orthodox Jews who would feel very out of place in a WASPy stronghold like Alabama, but would feel perfectly at home in neighborhoods in New York and Boston.

Has anyone who just automatically assumes “brown people” aren’t conservatives had a talk with any working class Muslims or Hispanic Catholics around here about their thoughts on LGBTQ rights or late term abortions? I’m guessing you haven’t.

I was thinking this as well. If the OP means socially conservative then many of the international communities have people who are very conservative. They don't tend to broadcast their beliefs the way that the US religious right does but they have the same opinions regarding LGBT, abortion etc.

Fiscal conservatives are prevalent in Potomac, Bethesda, and up county.

Moderate democrats/liberal republicans are common in Rockville/North Potomac and up county.

Crazy progressives are in the east. There is a pocket of religious conservative catholics in Kensington but they lean left on other issues.

Trump populists are rare in MoCo but plentiful in areas like the eastern shore and rural areas as you drive toward WV.
