I'm not sure it's proper to conflate flyover vs. coastal states with rural vs. urban. Even the middle-most states of the continent are majority urban dwellers. Most people in Kansas live in either KC or Wichita. The only state that is really majority rural is Vermont.

I disagree.
1. Those who express disparaging remarks towards others do not need to utilize a specific term.
2. A common narrative is that urban environments/cities are mismanaged, possess dangerous amounts of crime, and filled of corrupt politicians.
3. "Flyover Country", in a political context, is generally a complaint about the structure of representation.

Flyover country just alludes to the reality that people from the coasts don't go to places like Kansas for vacation or really much reason at all.

"coastal elite" I guess. The entire trumpist movement is built on the back of negative feelings toward urban dwellers.
"Flyover Country" is thrown about often however. Especially around election time and regarding how they are controlling to much of the country's politics.
