Attention right wing urbanites: this is not what a "small town" looks like.
1. Having many >2 story buildings is not typical of a small town.
2. Concentrated downtown areas of this scale are not typical of small town
3. Urban infrastructure like multi-lane roads and parking garages are not typical of small towns.
Springfield, OH is not a small town and is, in fact, a city. A city whose population has been declining for about half a century, but still a city.

Lol representatives from the damn state are calling it a "small rural community."
This is making me question my own sanity. This is the same feeling I would have if they started selling peppermint-infused orange juice and everyone else was raving about it.

What do you mean the city actually did vote in that direction? What do you mean it's not rural? What do you mean it's the usual where it's a blue city surrounded by a red outskirts? (The data website colors this backwards, sorry.)
Pattern recognition is a skill to develop, folks.
Voting still doesn't matter, by the way. But the skill that is pattern recognition is important enough to merit disregarding that but for a moment.

Arguments are no good when their premises are bad. Making simple mistakes like "Columbus is rural" ruins the whole case you're making and makes you look foolish. This is a good example showing how we ought to all be more careful and avoid easy mistakes so we don't end up like this.
Nobody in this sphere has any problems accepting what's happening in Springfield. It's expected. It follows the pattern we're always pointing out.

I should be clear: it's not just right wingers making this mistake. This entire political conversation is occurring in a fantasy world that's entirely separate from the reality we live in. Most people are debating this as if Springfield were a small town that consistently votes red, when the reality is that they're a city that, as we would expect, votes blue.
