Are the voters in Louie Gohmert's district really this stupid?

[Archae]

To keep re-electing this asshole?

Rep. Louie Gohmert suspects that the shooting at the Fort Lauderdale airport might be “another coverup” like Benghazi.

1. They adore him because Jebus

Jebus sells really well in east Texas. That and hating Yankees.

ETA: Juanita jean herownself did a story on one of the towns in his district, http://juanitajean.com/there-are-no-atheists-in-foxholes-or-hawkins-texas/ . Once you start learning about his district, Louie the GOMER makes perfect sense.

2. Yes

3. yep

they are.

I try to tell folks that these people are deplorable and unreachable.

There isn't any way that you can ever get them to vote for a Democrat.

4. Obviously, they are.

He is one for the record books.

6. Every two years is not a fluke

My guess is that either he's the only one who lives there or, yes, they are irretrievably stupid.

8. Yep, they're that dumb

Gohmert's district has sent Texas' stupidest and most reactionary congressional representatives to Washington for nearly a century.

9. Rut-roh. They won't take kindly to your casting asparagus.

10. I live in his district

& yes they are that stupid. For the most part, people think that that the R's are Christians (ya know because of abortion and gays) and D's are evil. They vote straight R because their church tells them to.

It's very disheartening. But we're not ALL stupid, just outnumbered.

I live in congressasshole Glenn Grothman's district, and he got in mainly due to his opponent having a scandal.
