“I’m beginning to think that as much as 35-40% of the country would be all in for a one-party socialist state, and have no use for the Constitution.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
“astute
adjective intelligent, politic, bright, sharp, keen, calculating, clever, subtle, penetrating, knowing, shrewd, cunning, discerning, sly, on the ball (informal), canny, perceptive, wily, crafty, artful, insightful, foxy, adroit, sagacious He made a series of astute business decisions.”

I would say you made an astute observation. I know one individual who is nearing ninety and is a retired minister. This man told me point blank, “I don’t care about the constitution”. He supports abortion rights, he supports gay marriage. He says he voted for Obama and has not said yet that it was a mistake. He claims to be an “independent”. He thinks Fox News is the biased news outlet and the others are even handed and fair in their coverage.

Maybe your estimate of percentage is a little low?

I wouldn’t let one highly unusual anecdotal story distort your perception of how many Americans are truly in favor of abolishing the Constitution. I can assure you that 90-year-old radical left-wing retired ministers do not represent a sizable segment of the Christian ministry, let alone the entire U.S. population at large.
