Most of the cities that people call "conservative" on here vote 55+% Democrat. That would still leave you with a large conservative minority, but there really aren't any true right wing cities with over say, 100k people.
OKC and Fort Worth are blue leaning, as far as city proper goes.
It seems like he's looking at the counties though, which I think is a more accurate way of measuring this. OKC proper might be left leaning, but when you consider that it's located in a red county and an entirely red state, you get a better idea of the predominant political climate you'll actually experience there.

That's more like the bigger picture as opposed to day to day interactions, though. Depending on what neighborhood you live in.

Day to day interactions will include people who live outside of OKC itself commuting into the city for work and other activity. That's my point. There's too much red around the city center for it not to be considered a conservative place overall.
This will obviously be less true for Fort Worth, but most would still agree that it is noticeably more right wing than Dallas.
Des Moines isn't conservative. Not sure that Omaha and Tulsa are either.
But none of these places are Uber liberal either.
The OP is looking for places that LEAN conservative, which is an important distinction. I feel pretty strongly all three fit that bill if looking at the big picture.
