Once of the reasons I like DC is actually because it's such a political city. Unfortunately, places where people don't discuss politics much also tend to be places where people are less knowledgeable about the world in general.
From what I can tell Arizona, Arkansas, Hawaii, Nevada, Texas, and West Virginia have fairly low voter turnouts most elections.
Going by the conservative/liberal cities list Beaumont, Brownsville, El Paso, and Laredo in Texas look to be fairly mixed between conservative and liberal. Tempe and Tucson in Arizona are also listed as mixed as is Reno in Nevada. Although yeah you'll find some politics anywhere, but maybe in rural West Virginia or an Indian Reservation in Arizona US Left/Right politics is not as significant.
Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Delaware, Indiana ect. nobody really cares about things like politics or religion in general in "flyover" states.
All of the above are great States, don't get me wrong (I especially love Ohio & PA) but in general people here are very apathetic about "serious things that don't directly affect me or my loved ones", especially when compared to other places like California or NYC.
I am thinking there really isn't one, but instead places where a particular issue might not mean as much to the people in an area. In many places immigration issues are not that important since it has little to no direct impact in their lives and is seen as something other places are dealing with. Some of your social issues might not be important in some places due to either one end or the other is not significant statisically in an area.
Places that might swing one way or another, but there's enough of a split that people aren't going to naturally assume that you're one or the other.
Colorado seemed a place where politics weren't eating away at the world. Iowa outside the farms and tiny towns (where people grow up, not move to) where a majority of people live were open to all. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nevada, areas of North Carolina, New Hampshire.

Iowa has the earliest caucuses; I believe NH has the earlierst primary. MN is very political, from my experience.
CO is too far from the beltway for most to care about national politics, but we do enjoy our local politics.

Really, you can't be serious when you say that Wisconsin is apolitical. Have you ever heard of Madison, and it's radical history? Milwaukee is the only city in the country to ever have elected three Socialist mayors. Have you ever heard of Father Groppi? Wisconsin is far from apolitical.

As strange as it may sound, even in those area people discuss politics, more so on a local level. Hell theres people in the hood that talk about politics. In D.C., you can't escape it one way or another.
You'll never escape it.
Whoever said Hawaii needs to be shot. That is one of the most partisan states in America - it's like say Utah is apolitical.
The best place would probably the US Virgin Islands, perhaps Puerto Rico.
If you consider those America, which they are technically apart of.
