Plenty of educated people and academic leftys live in the country, they just lay a bit low to avoid problems with the types of people you're describing. And I hate to break it to you, but talking like that will only make things worse for you. Nobody wants to move away from their city conveniences, especially when they think the country is like a scene from The Hills Have Eyes thanks to people who don't know what they're talking about spreading negativity like you just did.

Look, I know who gets elected in the countrysides. Open right-wing populists. I'll believe in these "educated intellectuals" (kinda classist to think you need to be educated to support leftism) when I see the polls turn away from right wingers
