It is used, allegedly, by the costal folks to describe the land they literally fly over when traveling from one interesting coast to the other. In practice, it seems to be used more by those who live in it to say “no one cares about us, you know.”

So when a candidate for, say president, is campaigning there - regardless of party - they try to assure those living there that “this isn’t just flyover country” and “there are real, hardworking Americans here” to appease them.
