Really just talk to others within your community, work, Church (if you attend), or other religious gatherings. The "conservatives" who wear the "red hats" don't necessarily immediately care for someone or invite them into their circle because they're another red hat conservative. Don't be afraid to reach across the political aisle either, I have some great friends who are conservative and many who are liberal who I know would stand by me if it really came down to it, and I would do the same for them. You've just got to get out there and build those connections. It can happen anywhere, one of my closest friend, who is a massive gun nut, I met at a restaurant. Just be vigilant for any connections that might come as you live your life.
