Different feel of different LACs in the Northeast so we can narrow visits [English, history, visual arts, non-sports]

We are very comfortable with left leaning schools, as most boarding schools are anyways. But from my quick read, Sarah Lawrence, Oberlin, Vassar might be all the way left for kid. And perhaps now from this thread, Wesleyan as well.

I think beginning around here (post#555) you’ll find a sub-string comparing how each of the NESCAC colleges dealt with the pro-Palestinian protests last year:

NESCAC Spoken Here:

Wesleyan students have begun a protest encampment: Any other NESCACs?

EDIT: I completely skipped over the OP’s description of their child as being an “acerbic comedian” who isn’t particularly interested in politics . If this is the main concern, then they may want to lean into some LACs including Trinity and Colgate, or smaller universities like Quinnipiac (CT), UMASS, and Drew (NJ) that have active fraternity and sorority chapters. Your child may not necessarily want to join one, but you can often use their presence as a surrogate marker for a certain kind of non-PC tolerance.
