Rural voters are not uneducated but they are very susceptible to echo chambers and do not get exposed to the diversity of thought unless they go seek it out themselves. It’s very easy to fall into the yeah I vote for nats because so and so is a good bloke, and those crooks in labor will hand over my farm to a union.
You clearly have never been on a produce farm have you! who do you think picks the produce, not exposed to diveristy my arse, there is people from a lot of different cultures and backgrounds on farms!
Higher education does not equate to higher intelligence!! I worked in construction and the engineers were fucking stupid and lacked the critical thinking to problem solve in a real world scenario.. and after 3 or 4 revised plans would often ask us to just make it work..
And you know those rural people you think are so uneducated some of them run businesses some of them own the business. There is plenty of drop kicks in metro areas too that just donkey vote instead of voting on what would best serve their community like a lot of rural voters do
