Cynical take: Tailor the conspiracy rhetoric to appeal to uneducated and otherwise impressionable people living in cities as much as in the countryside. I know quite a few city dwellers who have bought pretty much every conspiracy thrown at them from both the left and the right from "Bush did 9/11" to "COVID is just a ploy from big pharma to drive up profits" to "Kamala Harris isn't really black" to chemtrails. They are mostly still pro-LGBT, pro-immigrant, pro-worker, and all the other "pros" associated with Democrats, and hence vote Democrat. But if the Global Realignment has taught us anything, it's that education (or maybe more specifically, the faith in institutions that's usually associated with education level) is becoming an increasingly strong indicator of voting preference. I have a feeling with the right window dressing, it wouldn't be hard to get those sorts of voters to throw all of their more mainstream, left-leaning beliefs under the bus if they think it will help them stand up to the cabal, or whatever other boogeyman they want to come up with.
This might also be called the "Gabbard Track."
