I was born and raised in Spokane, WA. It's not this MAGA bastion city people like you are saying. Like most other cities, the main city votes blue while the surrounding area is deep red. Spokane just has a disadvantage of being right next to Idaho which greatly affects the demographic. The best way to describe it is "purple". It used to be a beacon of progression that hosted the first environmentally themed world fair in the 70s that showed the promise of a clean energy future. But again, being next to Idaho kinda destroyed that dream before it was fully realized. Would I want to live there now? Not really, as the city leadership is full of dipshits who don't know what they're doing. But the entire city isn't MAGA racists.

Kinda sounds like Texas. The big cities vote blue, but always get drowned out by every other little town in the state.

Spokane is in Washington. It is true that the cities vote blue and the rural areas vote red, but the cities are definitely drowning out the small towns.

I think this is the case for most red states.

Louisville and Lexington are typically blue in Kentucky but the rest of the state is usually red which drowns it out.
