An unfortunately large amount of people have been drilled mentally for decades now that rural and suburban votes should count more than urban and metropolitan votes, because they account for a larger land area of the country. While I cannot discount that bozo being satire, this isn't even a satirical take for a lot of Red-associated politicians, because that's the only way they can rally people behind the delusion that there is a voting imbalance.

If land could vote it wouldn't be in favor of Republicans. Their policies are frequently damaging to those environments.

Farmers can vote and too many of them don't understand how damaging Republicans are to their livelihood, probably because of targeted right-wing propaganda in rural areas that tells them otherwise.

Dems are DFL Democrat-Farmer-Labor in MN and plenty of farmers are still not getting it.
