If you thought we’d be holding hands and singing Kumbaya with House Democrats today, you thought wrong. They’re not interested in reaching across the aisle. Heck– they’re not even interested in being reasonable or rational.
Case in point.
Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson is casually claiming that Trump supporters are idiots who are dying early, because #reasons.
“Donald Trump’s supporters are older, less educated, less prosperous, and they are dying early,” he said. “Their lifespans are decreasing and many are dying from alcoholism, drug overdoses, liver disease, or simply a broken heart caused by economic despair.”

LOL WHAT? We’re all old and dying from liver disease and broken hearts? We’re all “less educated”? Where is he coming up with this crap? I’m 25. I’m not an alcoholic, I’m not planning on dying from a broken heart and I have two bachelor’s degrees. (And I continue to stand by what I’ve always said. I’ve learned more from books and Rush Limbaugh than ANY of my college courses.)
I’d also like to point out that us “less educated” people have never been dumb enough to think about Guam capsizing. That’s all you, Hank.
FLASHBACK:
Johnson also made a very clear Trump/Hitler comparison, which again, shows his lack of education and common sense.
“The Jewish people know a thing about tyranny,” he said. “Hitler did not start the Nazi Party, but he took over the party with charisma and leadership. The Nazis and Hitler became synonymous. Much like how Hitler took over the Nazi party, Trump has taken over the Republican Party. It’s now known as the Trump Republican Party.”
“Americans, particularly black Americans, can’t afford to make that same mistake about the harm that could be done by a man named Hitler or a man named Trump,” he continued.

As icing on the cake, he told everyone to “stay woke.”

All of the words that fell out of his face during that speech were stupid, but lucky for him, it’s hard to top the whole “Guam tipping over” thing. He topped himself years ago. It’ll be hard to do that again.
