Well, I have moved like 5 different schools in the past 6 years so I know how it is like......
The only reason why I would move to a different school is because I got into a better school.
Ironically, that is what happened to me like 5 times in a row.
If it is really to the point where you cannot have a meaningful conversation with people on campus, then I would say move.
Although I don't understand what is so bad about a conservative school? I am very conservative and I would love a school that wasn't liberal 
.
Yeah, I guess what I would ask would be what is so bad about the conservative part? Do students who go there wear uniforms and bring the bible to class? Or am I missing something completely?

Ever seen the movie Footloose? Wichita Falls is a lot like the town in that movie, except much larger.

While there's nothing wrong with having standards in terms of seeking a partner for a relationship, restrictions could do more harm than good. At one point I had some restrictions that I thought made perfect sense. It took one incredible person to make me realize that those restrictions didn't matter nearly as much as I had thought. Is looking for someone that is a liberal and an aspie likely to improve the chance of compatibility? It might, but there's always exceptions to any rule, you could wind up meeting a woman that was both NT and more towards conservative that wound up being perfect for you, and you for her.
In terms of location...well... within Texas, Austin is the only place I know of with any sort of liberal populace. I know that UT is there, but I don't know if there are any smaller universities nearby. They may not be all that well-known, might be worth checking out if you haven't already. Major cities will be better choices than smaller ones, simply because there are more people, and the chance for diversity is higher. If none of that really works, my recommendation would be to leave this nation-state, and go either North or West...or both. You'd have to go pretty far North if you were to also go East. With that kind of GPA, it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to transfer.
The other issue is that you are going to a relatively small school. With it being small, and mostly conservative, those that are closer to liberal could either be good at hiding, or at concealing their views. If you decide to stick with where you are at, you may just have to try and track them down. 
You could always ask one of the more stereotypical conservatives there where the "bad" or "stupid" people hang out, so you can "avoid" them, and then use that as directions for where you do want to go to find people you are more compatible with.
If you aren't feeling your best, in terms of social fulfillment, romantic fulfillment, physical wellness, or really any sense of the word, then it will be harder to do your best.

Many people who have the same interests as me are either atheists or agnostics (I happen to be Lutheran--but Lutherans don't really enforce God's laws--in fact, they ordain gay and lesbian pastors now). My favorite TV show is South Park, and I feel that sex outside of marriage is ok.
I am not going to get any fulfillment from a South Park-hating Baptist who wants a lengthy courtship.

I limit myself to other Aspies because they are the only people desperate enough to date me. NT women don't want me because of my school-related unemployment, and because I am too fat. If I were between the ages of 18-23, I could have met people in college. I will be 28 in December, and 18-23 year olds don't want to date people much older than them, unless they're rich. And people close to my age won't date me because I am not making any money and I am not physically attractive enough.

Then, if you think that looks are the problem- Go to the gym and walk/run. I love to run over every summer and I find that it is a great way of relieving stress......and you are alone too so you don;t have people bothering you. And the other runners are rather friendly also.....easy people to start a conversation with.
It looks like you are in a tight financial situation so loans are out of the picture....I wish I could help you but I am a student in College and I have started to make the 6 digit salary I am going for.
