Default I'm sold, but are unpopular political leanings a deal breaker?

First, hope this is an appropriate post here. To cut to the chase, my wife and I are starting the process of where to retire to from Connecticut. I've run into a few people who gave me the lowdown on TV and frankly it sounds really enticing. I'm going to schedule a LV this week.

I lean conservative but my wife is definitely a liberal Democrat. She's not publically over the top or anything - we have conservative friends, but I am concerned about what I've read about some of what has gone on in the past. I've heard about people being harassed, golf carts with Democratic stickers vandalized, and Fox news being piped over the PA in public areas exclusively. Is this true?

I don't think she would mind the radio station and the paper leaning right, after all anywhere in the south would kind of be the same. And we're not the kind of people that have to publically express our political views - lawn signs, etc. But if it was constantly in your face to the extreme everywhere you turned, then I think she would not be comfortable.

I might be blowing this out of proportion, but thought I'd better ask before we came down for the LV.
