'Dilbert' Creator Scott Adams Says 'Republicans Will Be Hunted' If Biden Wins Election

“Dilbert” creator Scott Adams made a fearful prediction about the 2020 presidential election on Twitter on Wednesday, telling his Republican followers that if Joe Biden is elected to the White House, “there’s a good chance you will be dead within the year.”

“Republicans will be hunted,” he wrote in a follow-up tweet, later adding, “Police will stand down.”

The comic strip creator has been outspoken about his political views both on Twitter and on his blog, where he previously endorsed Donald Trump for president in 2016 and accused the Hillary Clinton campaign of stoking “violence against police, violence against Trump supporters, and death threats to bloggers such as me.”

As actor James Urbaniak noted in response to Adams’ tweets, the threat of violence against Republican voters in response to Democratic electoral victories is a recurring theme in Adams’ political commentary. Urbaniak quoted a 2016 blog post of Adams in which the “Dilbert” creator said, “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.”

I like Dilbert but Scott Adams sounds like he needs some mental health counseling.

He knows we'll confiscate our own guns before we even make a dent in the problem... and what few we shoot we'll end up providing socialized healthcare to.

... Republicans might be such an endangered species that as a liberal I'll be obliged to protect them in their natural habitats--country clubs and televangelist studios.

...like investigations, subpoenas, hearings, indictments, criminal prosecutions, civil suits, whatever means of legal redress there are when public officials violate their public trust. I have been thinking for months that on Jan. 20, 2021, that orange con man who will be just leaving the White House had better move immediately to a country that does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.

The connected crooks who stole millions and billions of dollars from American citizens and taxpayers and had the good sense to flee o road just before the Biden administration can send out the subpoenas and indictments.

Hey, Scotty, here’s an idea for a post-Inaugural story arc: the hapless fugitive emigres trying to cope with the ever-increasing bribes, paperwork and fees that their corrupt Elbonian hosts throw at them as the price to avoid being turned over to US law enforcement.


I think that would be COOL!
