Full Title: Dem rep says Trump supporters are dying early from alcoholism, drugs and broken hearts in off-the-rails diatribe
A congressional Democrat from Georgia, with a reputation of not being the brightest, believes the average supporter of President Donald Trump is a broke, uneducated rube addicted to alcohol, drugs and racism.
“Donald Trump supporters are older, less educated, less prosperous, and they are dying early,” Rep. Hank Johnson confidently asserted during a speech Tuesday at the Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta.
“Their lifespans are decreasing, and many are dying from alcoholism, drug overdoses, liver disease, or simply a broken heart caused by economic despair.”
The actual facts, of which Johnson and his Democrat peers seem to know little about, completely belie everything he claimed about Trump’s nearly 63 million supporters.
Studies have shown that alcoholics and substance abusers tend to hold liberal political views, conservatives are more likely to own their own home and Republicans in general usually make more money than their cash-strapped liberal peers. These are the facts.
What Johnson asserted in his rambling speech, some of which may be heard below were lies:
The Georgia Democrat also took some shots at the president, accusing him of being a racist and authoritarian who seeks to roll back America’s incredible civil rights progress.
“Americans elected an authoritarian, an anti-immigrant, racist strongman to the nation’s highest office,” Johnson said, ignoring the fact that like a majority of the American people, the president stands against law-breaking criminal aliens, not law-abiding legal immigrants.
“Donald Trump and his ‘Make America Great Again’ followers who want to return American back to a time where white men and white privilege were unchallenged, and where minorities and women were in their place,” he continued, ignoring the army of minorities who support Trump.
Nearly everything Johnson posited about Trump and his supporters was a lie, save for his claim that they tend to be less educated. This was technically correct, according to the data.
But there’s a glaring catch. Democrats suffer from the delusion that a piece of paper makes one more intelligent or wise. But while a degree may give one a level of expertise in a particular area of study, that expertise rarely extends into the real world.
That’s why one’s level of knowledge and wisdom cannot be defined by how many degrees he or she possesses. That’s also why some of the dumbest people on Earth are of the “college-educated” type.
Though conservatives boast less formal education, a multitude of surveys and studies have found that they are more open-minded, more scientifically literate and better informed than liberals.
For instance, the majority of conservatives likely know full-well that the 210 square mile island of Guam would not tip over were a large enough contingent of U.S. troops stationed there.
Interestingly enough, Mr. Education seemingly did not know that.
“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” he said while questioning since-retired Adm. Robert Willard, the then-commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, about the build-up of U.S. Marines on the island nine years ago.
According to this brilliant man, it’s the Americans who voted for Trump who’re ignorant rubes. It’s this same man who seems to believe Trump is equivalent to deceased Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
“Much like how Hitler took over the Nazi party, Trump has taken over the Republican Party,” he said in another part of his speech Tuesday. “Hitler was accepting of violence towards the achievement of political objectives. Trump encouraged violence against protesters at his rallies.”
“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.”

Can somebody please tell me why the CBC is full of such air-brained idiots?
Johnson the zero IQ negro is on crack.
This Trump supporter does not drink nor do I use drugs.
And my heart is filled with glee that Donald J. Trump is president of the United States.
And I have a college degree.
Take a one-way trip to Guam, Johnson.
I know of Democrat neighborhoods filled with people taking prescribed psychiatric drugs, aging single women having only their dogs for company and headed for nursing homes, and dependent adult children still living with their parents.
They are being kind calling him not to bright. He's dumber than a box of rocks. Him and AOC (you know that bright woman from the Bronx) need to gather together to save the world.
“If I ever encounter Hank on Guam, I’m gonna flip him off.”
The previous governor told Hank that he was not welcome here without an apology.
Call the Moron Squad, Maud. We have another live one!
On tucker they said he is Hank Aaron’s brother-in-law
I wonder if he talks like this to his white neighbors? Last I heard there are plenty of white people in Georgia.
Actually, it sounds like he’s describing your typical welfare deadbeat, who votes democrat.
Yup. THAT insane and stupid Hank Johnson; still in office, elected again and again by fellow insane regards.
“Their lifespans are decreasing, and many are dying from alcoholism, drug overdoses, liver disease, or simply a broken heart caused by economic despair.”
well, that right there has to be some kind of plagerism because we heard the exact same thing just a few years ago regarding the supposed demise of the black man. But, whatever, keep on with the marginalizing.
“Is this satire?”
NO! This guy is one of the Congressional Black Troika of Morons, the other two “pillars of which” are Sheila Jackson-Lee and Maxine Waters. Johnson has advanced the “as yet unproven theory” that Islands are really floating, unattached to the earth, and as such are in danger of capsizing if over populated. This is particularly true when the added personnel are from the US Navy. He hasn’t yet explained why they don’t move around on the surface of the oceans.
This Trump supporter was a cane cutter, deckhand, roughneck, geologist,(the oilfield was good to me) flight instructor, and pharmacist, as a pharmacist I have as many hours of chemistry as a chemistry graduate but pharmaceutical chemistry does not count thus I do not have a degree in chemistry, and my IQ is not low!
In pharmacy I do not have a doctorate. I trained those doctoral students in our teaching hospital. These kids were incredible smart. They did not have the experience on how to apply their great knowledge. That was my job to show them how to use this knowledge.
I saved and invested my whole life, today I am most comfortably retired.
I have went back to flight instruction again but this is just for fun. I instruct at our flying club for free. It is fun to teach kids how to fly. The students think you are God. We are not. We just have a lot of stick and rudder time. It is most satisfying to pass the skills an old man has down to the young.
ps
Only in our great nation can a lower middle class kid do what I did. The only limitations in our great nation are those that one impose on themselves.
“National Review said it first.”
National Review was once a great magazine with William F Buckley Senior at the helm. Sadly, it is no longer such.
I canceled my subscription a few years after his death.
Considering the dope (and worse) that your constituents smoke, don’t worry about it, pal.
I just ordered something from Guam off of eBay. I’ve had plenty of stuff shipped in from Japan, but this was my first Guam delivery.
I think Guam hit him in the head when it tipped over.
Next time, I hope it’s Kilauea that does a job on him.
The man is insane, but again that’s a criteria for being a Democrat progressive/Marxist fruitcake.
Never been drunk. Ever.
Never used drugs. Ever.
Broken heart over the state of the nation? Check.
That’s hilarious.
The day after Trump was elected, I quit smoking.
Cold Turkey.
Was hooked hard for decades.
I don’t drink either.
The thought of drinking disgusts me.
I felt like everything was going according to a higher plan and would work out so my stress level went way down.
