Someone mentioned Tulsa. Yes, it's definitely more strongly conservative and also more Christian than OKC.
It looks like Tulsa is more dense/urban than OKC so it seems to win either way.

I wonder what "dense" means to people who say Phoenix or Oklahoms City.

Miami the city is rather dense, certainly for a southern metro and unarguably denser than Phoenix or Jacksonville.

Generally speaking, you won’t find many Republicans or conservatives in denser city centers anymore.

Fort Worth, Texas. When we attended a symphony concert, they played the national anthem!

It means that there are no other responses that come to mind

Save Denver, Austin and Asheville, I know I'm missing some, most of flyover country is fairly conservative. It's the BosWash corridor and the west coast, I'm talking LA to Seattle that's super liberal. Most other places you will find very solid conservative pockets.

I mean those answers just don’t mean anything, because those places are “cities” in name only. And somewhere like phoenix has to be like 2/3 transplants?

Almost all of the biggest cities in “flyover country” are liberal. Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Minneapolis, etc. are also liberal. You can find conservative pockets in their suburbs but less likely for the city itself. Though there are minor geographic differences, it’s much more an urban and suburban/rural divide than a geographic one.

You probably won't find many conservative cities. But there are a lot of mixed/centrist cities (i.e. Salt Lake City).

City/suburb is a pretty fleeting difference in America anyway. Many suburbs are officially 'cities' and many cities both big and small have large sections that have essentially suburban features. Some people are childish enough to think that having some buildings above 300 ft is what a city needs to count as a city, but of course that has nothing to do with the actual characteristics of a city.
