I’ve decided to come off the sidelines and endorse a candidate for President of the United States.
I’ll start by reminding readers that my politics don’t align with any of the candidates. My interest in the race has been limited to Trump’s extraordinary persuasion skills. But lately Hillary Clinton has moved into the persuasion game – and away from boring facts and policies – with great success. Let’s talk about that.
This past week we saw Clinton pair the idea of President Trump with nuclear disaster, racism, Hitler, the Holocaust, and whatever else makes you tremble in fear.
That is good persuasion if you can pull it off because fear is a strong motivator. It is also a sharp pivot from Clinton’s prior approach of talking about her mastery of policy details, her experience, and her gender. Trump took her so-called “woman card” and turned it into a liability. So Clinton wisely pivoted. Her new scare tactics are solid-gold persuasion. I wouldn’t be surprised if you see Clinton’s numbers versus Trump improve in June, at least temporarily, until Trump finds a counter-move.
The only downside I can see to the new approach is that it is likely to trigger a race war in the United States. And I would be a top-ten assassination target in that scenario because once you define Trump as Hitler, you also give citizens moral permission to kill him. And obviously it would be okay to kill anyone who actively supports a genocidal dictator, including anyone who wrote about his persuasion skills in positive terms. (I’m called an “apologist” on Twitter, or sometimes just Joseph Goebbels).
If Clinton successfully pairs Trump with Hitler in your mind – as she is doing – and loses anyway, about a quarter of the country will think it is morally justified to assassinate their own leader. I too would feel that way if an actual Hitler came to power in this country. I would join the resistance and try to take out the Hitler-like leader. You should do the same. No one wants an actual President Hitler.
Seems like satire pointing out the violence of the left. What do you think?
That's going to leave a mark.
Clinton is acting like a fascist. Hitler dressed better than her though...
definitely satire. He still predicts Trump in a landslide but is using sarcasm to make a point
Think he is endorsing HC but not sure?
This is his satire.
San Jose intimidating some,
Is that it?
BTTT.
Ahh ok, his msg seems a little muddled.
The satire of it is very overt.
And it’s excellent satire.
I thought it was very good too.
Such pathetic conclusions by the author of my favorite comics. This whole meme of connecting Trump to Hitler is so incredibly extreme as to be comical. Nothing about Trump creates that associate. On the other hand, the intolerance and violence of the Democrats, their lies, and doublespeak sure might create some comparisons.
Then Adams will be awaiting execution in the camps along with us Freepers and Dilbert.
“The only downside I can see to the new approach is that it is likely to trigger a race war in the United States.”
Well...there’s that.
If people do not comply with gun turn-in's, she knows her fate if she tries the Hitler thing. My advice, never comply with gun control laws. They only want to disarm you so they can easily kill you.
