Even if former First Lady Barbara Bush says that it is incomprehensible that any woman could vote for Donald Trump, he still has a polling lead in Missouri roughly equal to Mitt Romney’s margin of victory four years ago. The way I look at this is that a substantial percentage of the American public has just given up and no longer gives even the slightest fuck what happens to our country. Call it the Brexit Phenomenon.
Public Policy Polling tried to measure this “fuck-it” sentiment and came up with 12% of voters who’d prefer to see the Earth hit by a giant meteor than vote for either Trump or Clinton. You can add these twelve percent to the 46% of Missourians who say they vote for Trump, and that makes 58% of voters in the Show Me State that no longer want to go on living if it means putting up with the Democrats’ shit.
To be a little more precise, almost 6 in 10 people in Missouri would blow up the world if they could.
