Northern Arizona and similar are all I know of.. It's mostly because there is no infrastructure and it's just barren land people buy to get away from the public, though... Maybe some of those low people-per-square-mile towns too you usually find around state borders..

I wouldn't look in the Mountain West - even if they're not super religious, there's a strong anti-government feeling in our small towns that leads to high (and proud) gun ownership, hatred of the coastal states, and deliberate flouting of environmentalism.

I am curiously looking at a town named Big water, Utah. I read that it has the first Libertarian mayor in the history of the US.
I also read about a city named Slab City which is in desert California that also kind of meets this criteria. I am guessing Amish and Indian communities are other parts of the US that are not falling for either extremism and seem to be immune relatively for now.

Most of the small towns in my area, everyone leans a different way, and a good amount are just "there" sort of speak. Very rarely do I ever get caught up in a political issue/debate weather it's with friends, at the grocery store, etc...

My area being Southern Indiana, near Louisville, KY
