Usually big cities are stereotyped as liberal and rural areas as conservative. What are some exceptions to this rule? Does Phoenix, Arizona count?
 
That's like asking "who's the tallest dwarf?" American cities are fundamentally liberal and the bigger they are the more liberal they are.
 
Looks like it's Jacksonville. Pretty big city and both its mayor and city council are Republican dominated. The biggest city with a Republican mayor is San Diego, but its city council is conservative.
 
I'd wager either Phoenix or Jacksonville would be the closest to conservative major cities in America. Possibly Dallas and Birmingham too.
 
OKC is being hipster-ified, complete with streetcar. I would actually say Tulsa. It's not called the buckle of the Bible Belt without reason, and it's bigger than people think.
Oklahoma is the only state where every country went for Trump, even Oklahoma City.
 
So any city with a streetcar is liberal?
Unironically yes. Modern streetcars are used as economic-development tools in gentrifying cities, rather than actual transportation (Portland is probably the only exception to this). Places like Tucson, DC, Cincinnati, etc. OKC has a streetcar, a democratic congresswoman, and legitimate hipster areas that ruby-red baptist Tulsa just doesn't have.
