25yrs in the surrounding area, no, Watertown is NOT conservative, all of the towns surrounding it on the other hand are a different story. Watertown is slowly becoming Waterbury 2.0, where Waterbury 1.0 is considered the hell hole of the state, so fair warning. Being interracial in that area will 100% be a non factor. Please don't get me wrong, Watertown is not bad, it's miles better than everything on the other side of it, just understand Watertown IS the border town essentially
If you do end up moving to Watertown, go private school for your son.

Watertown is represented by a state senator who had a Qanon sticker on his car in 2020 (if you don’t believe me, look it up, it got plenty of press that year), and this year he still got 70% of the vote in Watertown. That’s in addition to the strong Trump and Stefanowski support that the OP mentioned, so I’m curious why you feel it’s not a conservative town?

You're thinking of Oakville, Watertown is bougie as hell. I lived in Waterbury for most of my life right on the border to Watertown/Oakville. Watertown is definitely not turning into Waterbury, and it's definitely conservative.

Oakville is like one whole street bud

Can't tell if proving point or not, regardless, yes it is a long street

It's proving my point, it's large enough to be designated as it's own village inside Watertown. It's definitely more than just a "street". It has it's own zip code and a population above 9,000 people.
Describing it as just a long street diminishes the fact that it's a separate entity from the larger Watertown area.
I got this information from the wikipedia page here
