I can confirm, you cannot articulate what rural voters are concerned about.

It sounds like your motivation for democracy is that you "owe people" a vote, not that it's actually better to give them it. If education is the factor, what if we gate it by high school, land ownership, or college graduation?
I guess to get back to my original point. You suggested that free information (and misinformation) was a threat to democracy, but I see little indication you believe democracy is important. It's hard to see calls like this as anything other than being upset that the majority is not voting the way you want, and wanting to reign them in.

I never claimed that I was giving the entire picture.
Given that there is ZERO positive that Trump accomplished for rural voters aside from "owning the libs," and many things that were actively negative like starting a trade war that may see rural soy farms permanently out of business, no, I don't think that rural voters are motivated by anything aside from "voting their team" and "trolling the libs."

...trouble with reading comprehension there? I'll simply repeat:
> It's the worst form of government around...aside from all the others that have been tried. (paraphrased Churchill).
> I don't know of another form of government that has better results. Neither did Churchill. If we could enforce better national education standards, we'd end up with a better result. But in short term I don't know how to fix the problem other than taking the worst liars off the air.
But you don't actually care what I'm saying if you follow up with:
> It's hard to see calls like this as anything other than being upset that the majority is not voting the way you want, and wanting to reign them in.
Umm... It wasn't a majority. It was barely 25% of the country. The majority of active voters did in fact vote for Biden.
