A really bizarre data that I saw during US elections, was that during pooling (before actual elections) the map of Trump voters, was almost identical to the map of places with high death rates.

Also largest trump voter demographic, as the media currently keep harping all the time as "racist whites males", is the only demographic in US with rising death rates.

I don't know why certain US demographics started since 2008 to die at such speed, suicides for example rising unusually fast, and "gun crime" when you actually split homocides and suicides, also show ludicrous numbers of suicides (while gun homicides are less than with other weaponry, like knives and bats).

So whatever happened, it affected a certain demographic epically bad...

And when someone propose to be a saviour, no matter how much you hate that person, you will vote for it... When people have literally nothing to lose and next "step" in their life, is death, anything else is better.
