And those areas have high speed internet, just not in the manner the Dems wished to bring. I'm originally from a very, VERY rural town in central Minnesota. They have had internet access there which they have used to post Trump BS on Facebook and the like for 15 years or more.

They also have cable channels and satellite radio, all of which increased the number avenues for people to express, hear, or watch varying viewpoints. If they have access to Fox News, they certainly have access to MSNBC, C-SPAN, CNN, etc.
