people who are willing to make the effort to understand what’s going on. Rural people can do that. If they don’t want to, nothing you can say or do will change that. They can simply ask "what do you mean?
You cannot simultaneously think that you have to break down politics so that a five-year-old can understand it AND take people seriously as adults and why would anyone want to listen to you if you treat them like children?
American politics is on a downward spiral as each party tries to shorten and simplify the message to the point where there is no message except “vote (for) me, everyone else (is) bad”.

Explaining something to someone like they are a child does not mean you have to treat them like a child??? What are you talking about
Everyone starts at the same place of understanding, zero.
Just because someone doesn’t understand something doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be taken seriously.
But people have to be willing to learn.
