The term "flyover country" has derogatory connotations for many people living in the American midwest, who feel the nickname smacks of condescending cultural Elitism . However, some conservative talk show hosts, most notably Rush Limbaugh , have adopted the term to define the portion of the country that does not tend to support Liberal political views to the extent that they are popular in New England and the West Coast. This disregards the fact that many of the industrialized states in the Upper Midwest tend to lean Democratic , being heavily Unionized and/or having abolished Capital Punishment in the nineteenth century.
