NASHVILLE — Soon after Charla McComic’s son lost his job, his health-insurance premium dropped from $567 per month to just $88, a “blessing from God” that she believes was made possible by President Trump.

“I think it was just because of the tax credit,” said McComic, 52, a former first-grade teacher who traveled to Trump’s Wednesday night rally in Nashville from Lexington, Tenn., with her daughter, mother, aunt and cousin.

His supporters are indeed as stupid as we think they are. The linked article is possibly the most depressing thing you will read today concerning life in America nowadays.

1. good lord.

The asshole has been in office under 60 days.
He hasn't done anything that has stuck.
They are stupid.

[Kimchijeon]

2. Well as much as I am horrified

That millions will die, maybe I should reconsider the value of thinning the herd. Granted, I will be culled too, but ah, fuck it. Too many dumb fucks. Oh well. (Not entirely sarcasm )

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Another example of

Blissful Ignorance.

[PatrickforO]

4. But...this is because he went onto Medicaid, isn't it?

Because before the ACA, we had people who had to go on COBRA which is twice as expensive. I had a few people tell me O-care saved their lives when they lost their jobs during the Great Recession.

5. A truly depressing thought...

half of Americans have an intelligence that is below average.

[Nevernose]

11. A variety of Carlin quotes apply:

Think about how stupid the average person is, and realize that half of them are stupider than that.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.

6. Wait until Trumpcare hit them in the ass.

We must make sure Trump and republicans own that mess.

[JHan]

7. relevant:

[OnDoutside]

22. Seriously, that has to be made up ?

[JHan]

24. not sure, it's been floating about for a while.. the scary thing is..

it's totally believable.

[OnDoutside]

27. It sure is.

[Mosby]

30. jimmy kimmel

There are two vids, this is the second I think:

[Fantastic Anarchist]

23. Dear God ...

I heard about people like these on the news, but it's still insane to actually read. Smug fucker didn't have a clue.

...wow.

Edit: I would love to be there to see his face if he loses his insurance. I know it's mean, but I'm done having pity for these assholes.

[JHan]

25. I can't be sure it's true or made up but it's totally believable isn't it..

Because a lot of people didn't even know ACA was Obamacare.. smh.

[dalton99a]

8. Trump is a blessing from Hell.

[58Sunliner]

10. I hope that you don't mean that.

[ProudLib72]

9. Nazi salute

by several in the crowd.

[MarcA]

12. She's the type that would politely ask Ryan

if she was in the right line for the gas chamber.

[ailsagirl]

14. True, MarcA

Welcome to DU!

[MarcA]

31. Thank You! sorry to be late with that

[ailsagirl]

32. No apology necessary!!

[JI7]

13. they don't want to give the black guy credit

[Duppers]

15. First grade teacher?! She shouldn't

pass first grade.

[BannonsLiver]

33. A teacher at a far right Christian madrassa most likely.

[Solly Mack]

16. Damn. That Ware woman is..well, she's an idiot...but far worse.

And I'm not even talking her racism. Which alone would be bad enough.

Mindless void willing to be filled with any lie that makes her feel better about her own long and deeply held beliefs.

She'd happily let Trump kick her head into a bloody pulp, the whole time never doubting that it was best for her and the greatest gift from Trump.

Same for McComic. For her it is her Lord and Trump - equals. So, yeah, she'd cheer her own death too. Because Trump, her lord and savior, told her it was what was best for her.

Damn.

[TheOther95Percent]

17. I googled the name

I don't know, I just found it hard to believe that someone could be that uninformed and really exist.

I found a profile for a cosmetology school in TN:

Depressing.

[Docreed2003]

26. That's got to be the same person...

Everything in her bio is based in West TN and not far from Lexington, which the article quotes as her home.

[TheOther95Percent]

28. Agreed

Her name isn't that common and the employment details in the bio jive with what she told the reporter.

[HAB911]

18. You can't fix stupid, no reason to try

[FiveGoodMen]

20. You can't fix it but you have to defend yourself against it

If you can't weed stupid out of the voting pool, you're doomed.

Maybe it's already to late.

[KingCharlemagne]

19. Few things in this life will give me greater satisfaction than watching

adult supporters of Trump suffer. Maybe karma works itself out in our lifetimes, after all.

I do feel bad for their kids and infirm elders who can't defend themselves.

[ffr]

21. Charla McComic is making headlines, probably as the new republican Moran

Charla McComic. Doesn't she look sweet?

[lindysalsagal]

29. Lots of people suffer while the congress argues and gets nothing done.

How long do the congresspeople think this will be tolerated????
