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? It is the most damning satire on the left I have seen so far.
As a Clinton supporter (for my personal safety), I ask you to imagine President Donald J. Trump leading America. https://t.co/zMvALoUlhq— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) June 5, 2016
WTH? Is that a man in womans bra on your smorgasbord of images? Really?
It is images of the Pogroms on Jews compared to the attacks on Trump supporters. Do you have glaucoma?
Peehaps this is the gender neutral post for FR. Camels nose in the tent moment....
Interesting, but I suggest that not 3% of the readers actually lived when Hitler was in power. Trump is NOT a Hitler....I knew Hitler and Trump is no Hitler.
No...it is aman in a bra like a woman.
Perhaps you are drunk.
It is a Jewish woman being assaulted in the 1940s. Moron.
That is not a woman. I will not call you what you are.

You are no better than MSM . We decry references to Hitler and other undsireable leaders as compared to Donald Trump, yet you post crap from wikipedia that is not “vetted” for truth and expect all to follow and applaud. Wikipedia is not your friend if you are Patriot for USA. Crap on Wikipedia is just that, crap!
Die.
Knock off the name-calling and ad hominems!
Okay...you told me to Die, no one in all my years on FR has told me to DIE. WOW! You have some serious issues.
Red-blooded Americans know about cookies. After all, we invented the 'net! We don't need no stinkin' lawyer dialogs!
As for his concern about his personal safety, let's just note that, from time to time, the Tree of Liberty must be refreshed. Last time it happened in a big way was 1861. But it could happen again.
Wow... The peanut gallery responds!
