Scott Adams predicted Trump's win back when he was one of more than a dozen Republican contenders. Scott Adams explains how liberals sat in a thought bubble and their classic case of cognitive dissonance now on display today.

We should study this.
Excellent read
As someone here described it previously, the libtards are part of a hive. They have group think which seems impossible for them to escape.
Apparently Shillary was their queen bee and all the drones are just thinking and doing as she directs, buzzing about aimlessly.
There is a book titled Dinosaur Brains that explains a lot of this kind of irrationality. Its a fascinating read. Adams even touches on it a little when he talks about evolution.
I think the book is still available.
I disagree !
the hive metaphor and mentality is true enough
but the ultra-left Socialists are getting ready to swarm (divide the hive- ..with a new leader/queen).
Adams did a pretty good job with his predictions. Claiming Trump would pick Scott Brown as his veep was, however, an evidence-free conjecture. Then again, Adams was far from alone in making that baseless prediction. No small number of Cruz supporters used to hold that choice against Trump—when there was zero reason to do so.
Adams repeatedly disavows that he’s a Trump supporter in any way, but has consistently be forecasting a Trump blowout victory in the election.
He describes Trump’s strategy as first, pacing his target audience: relating to them in their thoughts and on their terms. And then once that’s accomplished, he brings them gradually over to his territory and his view, the audience thinking that this is what they actually wanted all along, and they moved of their own volition.
It’s a form of leadership most useful in business.
My head just exploded at the notion that Hillary is a failed prophet. I can’t get my head around the notion that anyone could get his head around the view of the world.
Could someone tell Scott that I bought his damned book already! LOL!
I did work in PsyOps once, and Trump's use of confirmation bias is legendary.
Trump's campaign is exactly how the textbooks train. It will be studied by agents forever."
Spot on! We have lots of these types among are friends. I call them high education-low information voters. They’re full of themselves and pretend to know everything and be super tolerant.

But you notice how they insist on using nothing but pejorative language to characterize anything Trumpian?
As my tag line notes, that's how educated people practice intolerance.

Yes, you’re correct. A lot of facebook friends are in a complete meltdown, feigning tolerance. The election was according to the law of the land here. ( I’ve logged out now.) My husband, who voted twice for Obama, and now very happily for Trump, told me that liberals think they know everything but are in fact uninformed. I was not very politically savvy until I found FR in the late 1990s. I immigrated to the US in the 2000s and realized the truths this forum has been discussing.
Once meet a very informed liberal and realized there was also bad judgement (that leads to poor decisions).
