Look for places surrounding military facilities: McKinney, TX, Pensacola, FL, Fayetteville, NC, etc.
any recommendations of places to live where there are conservative majorities?

I want to give you a short excerpt from a book that was written in 1968. It kind of makes you wonder and say, Huh? But I think this author had an idea of what was happening and wrote a Science Fiction story around it.
“THE NORMS had long since moved from the cities, so had the police. Those who remained were jubilant to a degree— it was a pity to lose the police. Cop-killing had been, if not materially rewarding, a considerable boost to prestige.
Now they must find other ways of impressing their fellows. The police themselves, once clear of the cities, formed— according to city opinion— an unholy alliance with the Armed Services. Between them, they built enormous forts, reminiscent of the ancient prison camps, which they surrounded with lights, weapons and lethal invisible barriers.
Wiseacres asked if the forts had been built to keep the bad elements out or the police in. Periodically, however, the police made savage punitive raids on the cities— this was when the cities began to get ideas about the Norms. The Norms, generally speaking, built their rural communities near the forts for safety reasons.
Centuries ago, of course, there would have been no room for rural communities but a great many people had died in the early days of the Troubles and left room for expansion. Again, only the hubs of the great cities remained. The once sprawling suburbs had, long ago, been pounded to dust in countless clashes of arms.
Besides rearranging the social structure of the race, the Troubles had also brought about sharp caste divisions which had nothing to do with wealth, heritage, colour, creed, or any previously known cultural factor. All these castes were known by commonplace and often slightly vulgar terms of reference.”

I agree that heavily military areas are inclined to be conservative, but what military facility is in McKinney?
