With the New Hampshire primary this week, I thought it would be interesting to look at a recent poll of New Hampshire voters. Let’s see if I was right.
POLL: 64% Of New Hampshire Democrats Would Rather ‘A Meteor Strike The Earth And Extinguish All Human Life’ Than See Trump Re-Elected
“According to a poll from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, 64% of Democratic voters would rather see ‘a giant meteor strike the Earth, extinguishing all human life’ than President Trump re-elected,” reports The Week. “The poll, conducted Jan. 28–31, also shows about half of Independent voters would say the same extreme thing.”

So, what to make of that?
Well, I’ve never been to New Hampshire, so I don’t know if praying for a fiery death is a regular thing up there. That may be preferable to their regular day to day life.
Of course, these voters prefer any of the Democratic presidents to another Donald Trump term. While I understand that someone can have reservations about Donald Trump, he’s actually been a good president. Not perfect, but darn good. These voters can’t see that, so they’re coming from a skewed — or is it screwed up? — mindset. Maybe if I was so messed up that I thought any Democrat would be a good president, I’d wish for a meteor, too.
I hope they finish that border wall soon. They need to put up another one around New Hampshire. Whatever they got, we don’t need it spreading.
When did the SMOD become a Socialist? Damnit, I want to know!
That’s NH Democrats.
Migratory Massholes in other words.
I bet the numbers are at least that high for GOP voters considering any current Dem.
I think we would go more for the World Wide pandemic of death!
Just one more thing for China to export along with poisoned dog food and spying cell phones.
Poll: 64% of Democrats are happy to express their politics using lively metaphorical language. As opposed to Donald Trump.
I mean, seriously, if you were asked that, would you answer seriously?
Why do we refer to someone’s rapid success as a “metioric rise”?
According to science meteors do not rise. Ever.
Every meteor ever is FALLING. In cases where the meteor succeeds it is destroyed when it collides with the ground and leaves a big smoking hole in the ground and lots of collateral damage. In cases where there’s an atmosphere it may either burn up from friction or bounce off and harmlessly and fly away to be forgotten. Furthermore the work is being done by gravity. The meteor is along for the ride so why is the meteor is credited with this success and not the planet doing all the work?
Oh. Well I guess I see why we use it to describe successful liberals.
I think the meteoric metaphor is more for the speed and less for the direction.
The problem with the Heisenbergian interpretation is that in nearly all cases WHERE you are going is important in the context of how quickly you are due to arrive.
When falling off a cliff, a high velocity is generally not desired when one arrives at the destination. Conversely, when exiting a burning building celerity is of great value.
Although as I said, admiring the methods and ignoring the results and consequences is quintessentially liberal.
Meteors only go down?
Don’t force your humanocentric alienophobia on me!
It’s like Lucy said, “Snow falls up Charlie Brown.”
Sobriety never really caught on in New Hampshire.
