Dilbert creator Scott Adams has at last announced his presidential endorsement:
I’ve decided to come off the sidelines and endorse a candidate for President of the United States.
[…]
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)....

It’s the end game of the radicalism she embraced in the 1960’s.
let's take that one logical step forward ------ once you define anyone of Germanic heritage, or for that matter, European heritage, as "hitlers' you give noncitizen invading armies moral permission to kill them, too. This is the craziness of the liberal/anarchist factions, who sadly assume their 'liberalness' will provide a shield of immunity.
Being a liberal means you never have to answer for the harm you do to others.
We’ve already seen a vast array of neo-con artists and their open borders toadies, including Glenn Beck, comparing Trump to Hitler, in print, on the net, and on the air. I really don’t know how effective Clinton’s latest tactic is going to be. There are about 60 MILLION people of German ancestry in the US, unfortunately, many of them are extreme leftists, but it may not sit well with a large swath of them to be told that because of their ancestry they are Nazis.
“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.”
There is going to be a Race War and the guy who does Dilbert will be assassinated?
Put that down as the Crazy Conspiracy Theory of the Day.
Let them try.
Every time their wingnut SJW freaks lash out, is another 500K voters that steer away from the left.
Another liberal whack job calling for the assassination of her opponent. If that isn’t a reason for being arrested ....???
We all saw the Nazis in San Jose, and it wasn’t Trump or his supporters.
and the guy who does Dilbert will be assassinated?....Certainly. He’s right wing.
You have to be really stupid to perceive what may be coming as a race war.
The leftists in Spain bet their lives on that assertion back in the thirties.
Here’s what Adams wrote ...
But Clinton supporters have convinced me – and here I am being 100% serious – that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump. So I’m taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.
Sorry, Scott Adams uses his “support” for Trump as a straw man argument. Adams has always been a lefty. Discovered that years ago through his Dilbert. His comic pages clearly target business men as stupid. Most cartoonists are left sided and most do not hide it in their comic pages. Not much fun reading the comics. Al Capp they are not.
Waiting patiently for that ugly SKANK to assume room temp.
It’s a lib-dem “resume enhancement”.
It’s the only way she can possibly win.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
This almost... almost... sounds like a piece of Dilbertian irony.
Let’s see what comes up in July or August.
Because notice that it’s the FEAR OF BEING ASSASSINATED AS A TRUMP SUPPORTER that is the proffered reason for switching to Hillary. Not the fear that Donald Trump would do something harmful to America.
This is called praise by faint damnation.
Just wait... other issues will charge the air, wiping this one off the headlines, and the “cowardly” Adams may be seen to switch again.
