this means that

a third of americans are males who won't ask for directions or eat anything but meat and potatoes because they are afraid of change and afraid to admit they're lost. you know the type. bush is one of them and he resonates with people who believe that if you don't admit you are wrong, you aren't wrong. As children, they spent a lot of time with their fingers in their ears, their eyes squeezed tight, yelling "NANANANA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Didn't bother to learn in class because it was easier to cheat off the test of the person in the desk beside them.
