How did fictional cities vote?

[Tekken_Guy]

How would well-known fictional American cities have voted if they were real?

Examples:
-Springfield
-Quahog
-South Park
-Langley Falls
-Stoolbend
-Bikini Bottom

[H. Ross Peron]

Arkham, MA would be a safe Democratic city given its based off of Salem, is a postindustrial mill town with a large European "ethnic" (including Polish) population and has a major liberal art college within in the city limits.

[Roll Roons]

Gotham is basically NYC but in South Jersey, so my guess is that it's heavily Democratic, but probably swung to Trump.

Langley Falls is based on McLean/Langley, so probably Romney-Clinton.

Dillon (Friday Night Lights) is a small, mostly white town in rural Texas. Gee, I have no idea.

[H. Ross Peron]

Any idea of Arlen, Texas voted? I imagine its a Republican city and remains so but heavily swung towards Biden in 2020.

How would well-known fictional American cities have voted if they were real?

Examples:
-Springfield
-Quahog
-South Park
-Langley Falls
-Stoolbend
-Bikini Bottom

If I had to guess, every one of these fictional cities probably voted Democratic. Springfield and Quahog seem like the kinds of places that would have swung towards Trump in 2016, but moved back to the Democrats in 2020. This would be especially true for Quahog, which is in Rhode Island. South Park is in Colorado, and seems to be similar to the ski resort/tourist towns that are common here, so it would be solidly Democratic. Langley Falls is in Northern Virginia, so it would have swung heavily in Biden's favor last year, and he easily could have garnered over 60% there. Stoolbend is also in Virginia, and would probably be Democratic thanks to a large minority presence. Finally, Bikini Bottom probably went Democratic, but may have swung towards Trump last year.

Elwood City is an old lumber mill and factory town located in Pennsylvania and said to be based off of the author's hometown of Erie (https://arthur.fandom.com/wiki/Elwood_City) so I suspected it has consistently voted for Democrats but with a large swing towards Trump in 2016. Its county probably went Republican in 2016 though.

[Terlylane]

Mr Garrison obviously voted for himself.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Twin Peaks would probably have supported Trump. However, modern Twin Peaks, as the 2017 revival indicated, seems to be attracting younger, hipster-like people to move there, so maybe Trump's performance ends up being narrower than it would be in the 1990's version of Twin Peaks.

Baltimore, from The Wire, seems to have a black supermajority, so I suspect it would be one of the most Democratic cities in the country. Trump probably carried a couple of the precincts with ethnic Whites like the Sobotkas, who held for Dems throughout the Obama presidency but probably swung hard to Trump.

Baltimore is a real city.

This lends further credence to my theory that a grown-up Buster becomes an alt-right pundit after starting with conspiracy theory videos.

How about these cities?
-Dimmsdale, CA
-Danville, Tri-state Area
-Retroville, TX
-Gravity Falls, OR
-Beach City, Delmarva
-Pawnee, IN
-Hawkins, IN
-Bluffington, VA
-Hillwood, WA
-Royal Oak, MI
-Sunnydale, CA
-Neptune, CA

[Would vote for Hillary Clinton over Joe Biden.]

I don't watch much TV, but I get the impression that Quahog, RI voted largely Republican, given that it is a white working-class town.

In Bikini Bottom, Sandy Cheeks, Squidward Tentacles, and Mrs. Puff likely voted for Biden, but I  can see Spongebob and Patrick going Green (Hawkins), while Mr. Krabs backed Trump I could see Pearl Krabs going Libertarian (Jorgensen)

How about these cities?
-Dimmsdale, CA
-Retroville, TX

Dimmsdale is in SoCal. It's not voting for Trump.

Assuming Retroville refers to Jimmy Neutron, what evidence do you have that it is located in Texas?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

How about these cities?
-Dimmsdale, CA
-Danville, Tri-state Area
-Retroville, TX
-Gravity Falls, OR
-Beach City, Delmarva
-Pawnee, IN
-Hawkins, IN
-Bluffington, VA
-Hillwood, WA
-Royal Oak, MI
-Sunnydale, CA
-Neptune, CA

Dimmsdale very probably has the voting history of Whittier or some suburb in that vicinty. In one Fairly Oddparents episode it is even implied that Timmy Turner (who inspired my username) lives in Whittier. Safe Biden, swung R in 2020.
Danville is hard to pin down. Dem, but how Dem? I guess it is somewhere in the eastern part of the United States. Safe Biden, swung D in 2020.
Retroville is in rural Texas (same overall area as King of the Hill), probably somewhere west of Austin. Safe Trump, swung D in 2020.
Gravity Falls is in rural Oregon, somewhere. I'd guess western part of the state. Old-school logging area where the spotted owl controversy cost Dem votes back in the 90s. Likely Trump, swung D in 2020.
Beach City is a probable Obama/Obama/Trump area likely in the Maryland part of the peninsula. Biden likely improved here a lot. Lean Biden, swung D in 2020.
Pawnee was safely Dem-voting, once upon a time. Now it's got a not-too-large Republican lean in most elections. And Trump was a very good for this place. Likely Trump, swung D in 2020.
Hawkins is a lot like Pawnee in some ways except it is much smaller, so its political culture is structurally more R in this day and age. Safe Trump, swung D in 2020.
Bluffington is safe Dem. Safe Biden, swung R in 2020.
Hillwood seems to be somewhere on the Puget Sound, and is likely to have a Dem lean since the 1980s. Safe Biden, swung R in 2020.
Royal Woods (I assume you meant to put that) probably voted for Obama narrowly in both his elections and for Snyder both times, but recently has been trending Dem hard. Safe Biden, swung D in 2020.
Sunnydale is probably quite Dem by 2020, and is the sort of place that would swing farther away from Rs in the Trump Era. Safe Biden, swung D in 2020.
Neptune feels like Romney-Clinton territory in real life northern San Diego and southern Orange; not entirely sure. Likely Biden, swung D in 2020.

How about:

• Greendale, CO
• Woodcrest, IL

Riverdale? (Let's say upstate NY)

I actually don't see it. He was pretty concerned that people lie on the internet, I doubt he would do it himself.

Hah! Fair point, but you know what they say:

I think Buster would be a true believer in alt right conspiracy theories given he's prone to blame aliens on everything. You wouldn't happen to be one of the hosts of the Arthur episodes rewatch podcast right? Just wondering because the hosts are based out of Halifax.

Riverdale? (Let's say upstate NY)

Riverdale is shot in Vancouver, B.C. so it would be a west coast area/state, likely Washington

[SInNYC]

The real Riverdale is a leafy suburbanish part of the Bronx and voted about 80-20  Biden, but a few points to the right of the Bronx as a whole. It is traditionally predominantly [mainstream, non-Hassidic] Jewish, but changing as young couples move in.

I've only watched the show a few times but I've heard its based on the real Riverdale, and the comics were originally based on the real Riverdale though that changed later. The houses on the TV Riverdale wouldnt be out of place in the real one, which is mostly a mix of high rise coops/condos, midrise apartments, and lots of single family houses ranging  to mansions (including where JFK grew up).

I'm afraid not. What's the podcast called? I'd love to check it out, I've got a lot of Arthur nostalgia.

[Wormless Gourd]

Hill Valley from Back to the Future is located "12 miles east of Grass Valley" which puts it in firm tossup territory. The only notable town close to 12 miles away is light red Colfax, which has a modest similarity to the movie town from what I've seen.
