Dilbert Creator Says 'Republicans Will Be Hunted' if Biden Elected

Dilbert Creator Says ‘Republicans Will Be Hunted’ if Biden Elected: ‘Good Chance You Will be Dead Within the Year’


Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, warned on Twitter Wednesday that if Vice President Joe Biden defeats President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, there’s a “good chance” people will “be dead within the year.”

Adams also doubled down on his comments, writing “police will stand down” and “Republicans will be hunted.”

In 2019, Adams made headlines for promoting his new app after a mass shooting killed three people. He urged survivors to download the app, writing “If you were a witness to the #GilroyGarlicFestivalshooting please sign on to Interface by WhenHub (free app) and you can set your price to take calls. Use keyword Gilroy.”

Later that year, he threatened to send his lawyers after a journalist at Business Insider for sarcastically comparing him to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

It's the weirdest thing about "privilege". Here are rich white guys (or not so rich) who are so SCARED. And they think their irrational paranoia is somehow... manly.

Is it any wonder that a majority party that conditions its existence on conspiracy theories and outright lies would also envision conspiracy theories when their lunacy leads them to become the minority party?

Does this excerpt from Wikipedia make Adams seem like his mind is sound? I think not.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams
Adams has often commented on political matters, although in 2016 he wrote on his blog "I don't vote and I am not a member of a political party."[34] In 2007, he suggested that Michael Bloomberg would make a good presidential candidate.[35] Before the 2008 presidential election he said, "On social issues, I lean Libertarian, minus the crazy stuff",[36] but said in December 2011 that, if he were president, he would do whatever Bill Clinton advised him to do because that "would lead to policies that are a sensible middle ground".[37] In a blog post from September 2017, Adams has referred to himself to be left of Bernie Sanders on a number of occasions.[38] On October 17, 2012, he wrote "while I don't agree with Romney's positions on most topics, I'm endorsing him for president".[39]

In 2015, although Adams stated that he would not endorse a candidate for the 2016 elections, he repeatedly praised Donald Trump's persuasion skills, especially on his blog,[40][41] extensively detailing what he called Trump's "talent stack",[42] the then-candidate's unusual skill set combination. Adams predicted that Trump would win the Republican nomination and the general election;[43] in the 2016 election campaign's final weeks, except for a temporary reversal in early October, Adams repeatedly said Trump would win in a landslide victory, which would be followed by rioting.[44][45][46][47]

Of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, he said the following: "If you're an undecided voter, and male, you're seeing something different. You're seeing a celebration that your role in society is permanently diminished. And it's happening in an impressive venue that was, in all likelihood, designed and built mostly by men."[48] Adams said that he temporarily endorsed Hillary Clinton out of fear for his own life, stating that he had received direct and indirect death threats ("Where I live, in California, it is not safe to be seen as supportive of anything Trump says or does. So I fixed that.’)[49] In late September, however, Adams switched his endorsement from Clinton to Trump. Among his primary reasons for the switch were his respect for Trump's persuasion skills over Clinton's, Clinton's proposal to raise the inheritance tax, and his concerns over Clinton's health.[50] Adams states that being labelled a 'Donald Trump apologist' ended his speaking career and reduced his income by about 40%.[49]

In 2020, Adams claimed that the Dilbert television series was cancelled because he's white[51] and that Republicans would be hunted if Joseph Biden won the 2020 presidential election.[52]

Meanwhile: I've had people say the most horrific things to me because I dared to publicly to not support trump. Not on the Internet but to my actual face and via email.

Cry me a River you whiny crybaby. The worst you'll have to deal with is facebook and twitter barrage of fake foreign bots feeding your premise if Trump loses. Lots of us normal people have been dealing with violent, hate filled, jerks for years now. 😑
