Guest Post by Scott Adams
I’ve been trying to figure out what common trait binds Clinton supporters together. As far as I can tell, the most unifying characteristic is a willingness to bully in all its forms.
If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.
If you have a Trump bumper sticker, they will deface your car.
if you speak of Trump at work you could get fired.
On social media, almost every message I get from a Clinton supporter is a bullying type of message. They insult. They try to shame. They label. And obviously they threaten my livelihood.
We know from Project Veritas that Clinton supporters tried to incite violence at Trump rallies. The media downplays it.
We also know Clinton’s side hired paid trolls to bully online. You don’t hear much about that.
Yesterday, by no coincidence, Huffington Post, Salon, and Daily Kos all published similar-sounding hit pieces on me, presumably to lower my influence. (That reason, plus jealousy, are the only reasons writers write about other writers.)
Joe Biden said he wanted to take Trump behind the bleachers and beat him up. No one on Clinton’s side disavowed that call to violence because, I assume, they consider it justified hyperbole.
Team Clinton has succeeded in perpetuating one of the greatest evils I have seen in my lifetime. Her side has branded Trump supporters (40%+ of voters) as Nazis, sexists, homophobes, racists, and a few other fighting words. Their argument is built on confirmation bias and persuasion. But facts don’t matter because facts never matter in politics. What matters is that Clinton’s framing of Trump provides moral cover for any bullying behavior online or in person. No one can be a bad person for opposing Hitler, right?
Some Trump supporters online have suggested that people who intend to vote for Trump should wear their Trump hats on election day. That is a dangerous idea, and I strongly discourage it. There would be riots in the streets because we already know the bullies would attack. But on election day, inviting those attacks is an extra-dangerous idea. Violence is bad on any day, but on election day, Republicans are far more likely to unholster in an effort to protect their voting rights. Things will get wet fast.
Yes, yes, I realize Trump supporters say bad things about Clinton supporters too. I don’t defend the bad apples on either side. I’ll just point out that Trump’s message is about uniting all Americans under one flag. The Clinton message is that some Americans are good people and the other 40% are some form of deplorables, deserving of shame, vandalism, punishing taxation, and violence. She has literally turned Americans on each other. It is hard for me to imagine a worse thing for a presidential candidate to do.
I’ll say that again.
As far as I can tell, the worst thing a presidential candidate can do is turn Americans against each other. Clinton is doing that, intentionally.
Intentionally.
As I often say, I don’t know who has the best policies. I don’t know the best way to fight ISIS and I don’t know how to fix healthcare or trade deals. I don’t know which tax policies are best to lift the economy. I don’t know the best way to handle any of that stuff. (And neither do you.) But I do have a bad reaction to bullies. And I’ve reached my limit.
I hope you have too. Therefore…
I endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States because I oppose bullying in all its forms.
I don’t defend Trump’s personal life. Neither Trump nor Clinton are role models for our children. Let’s call that a tie, at worst.
The bullies are welcome to drown in their own bile while those of us who want a better world do what we’ve been doing for hundreds of years: Work to make it better while others complain about how we’re doing it.
Today I put Trump’s odds of winning in a landslide back to 98%. Remember, I told you a few weeks ago that Trump couldn’t win unless “something changed.”
Something just changed.
I was pretty sure Hillary was a bully as soon as she had Vince Foster killed.
Killing Vince Foster was just Hillary’s dessert after murdering the women and children in Waco.
Due to Hitlery being the favorite of the cabal who depends on the status quo to continue, it’s my opinion that it will take a massive number of voters to choose Trump in order for him to win.
Now’s the time to engage your neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc. to discuss the election and let them know why you’re voting for Trump. Anyone you can sway will be helpful to keep the evil witch from assuming power.
Hillary has shown proved she can’t be trusted to do what she says. Trump has not proven he will or won’t do what he says once in the WH. At the very least he holds the promise of upholding the Constitution. Mike Adams has counted fifteen (15) separate episodes of genocide so far this century, 254 million people genocided, and before each they confiscated the guns. Possible the elite have found they can’t get off the planet & they don’t want no deplorable pollution.
Is it true the Australians have given up their guns and are now being mandatorily vaccinated.
MAGA
Very nice find.
The MSM might be defeated in the so-called conservatives simply cancelled their subscriptions …. deprive the fucken beast of m-o-n-e-y. Don’t even go to their websites.
Of course, that leaves well over half the population. However, libs are fucken morons, and most of the free-shitters haven’t read a book/mag in years.
I really suspect it’s conservatives and/or normal people who are sick of this shit who enable the MSM, and keep them afloat.
Not me…the voices and their incestuous BS became intolerable.
Then there were the “commercials” with their debasement of
human beings and the peddling of drugs. Drugs that do no more
harm than good as observed by me over the last 20 yrs of my “career.”
There may be the occasional old movie, or the pay extra channels,
or the odd PBS event…overall though, do we really want to pay for
TV crap? I suspect the men keep it for the sports.
One of the best things about this crazy election season is Scott Adams. His insights have been totally fresh. Plus watching him flip-flop from one candidate to another, always for rational reasons, has mirrored by situation.
I hope he is right about a Trump landslide. Nothing I would like to see more than a bunch of really pissed of liberals on Wednesday after the election. Let’s see what kind of bullies they are when they don’t win. Will they fight or go cry in the corner. I suspect nothing but tears from these pussies.
With the left being what it is, I imagine what you would be seeing is a bunch or really violent liberals after the election if it went Trump in a landslide.
Without a landslide evident in the polls, they would take it as proof that the election had been stolen and react as they typically do whenever they don’t get their way with something they really want.
FWIW, they would/will probably do the same if it is really close and Trump takes if by a very thin margin (keep in mind that the Electoral College elects the President, not the popular vote).
“I don’t defend Trump’s personal life. Neither Trump nor Clinton are role models for our children.”
I have no problem with Trump as a role model, he’s far, far better to strive after than anyone on the left side of the aisle I can think of.
He does the best he can to improve himself and the world around him and help others do the same and I don’t think you can ask more than that of any man.
Ditto, and,
“I don’t defend Trump’s personal life. Neither Trump nor Clinton are role models for our children. Let’s call that a tie, at worst.”
A tie????? Sorry, so solly, and mega BS. I will not put up any list of Clinton
crimes. There is no list of Trump crimes. I would put my children in a
Trump setting/speech/like that….but I would shield any child from actual
evil vibes=Hillary. She get a laugh from murder.
Im still trying to figure out what gives the left its power?
Seems to me the people on the right have enough of it to cause hell. What could the goverment do in response? Take away welfare from those on the right?
I still like my idea for civil disobedience of people driving 5 miles an hour below the speed limit. See how that grabs your fellow ex countryman.
“Im still trying to figure out what gives the left its power?”
Two things: 1. People who are too stoopid or lazy to think and do for themselves. 2. Loads and loads of fiat money from central bankers that is used to dumb down the people via public school, TeeVee and movies and to reward them with free shit for their votes. Democrats use the fiat money to build an army of welfare voters and an equally large army of USEFUL IDIOTS that act as bleeding hearts promoting even more free shit for the *poor*.
End the fed.
No problem, the speed, just not in the left lane please.
Without a doubt, something HAS changed. Something wicked this way cometh.
Lol, Scott if you read this, that’s the first article of yours that I’ve read that strikes me as heart-felt. Trust you won’t change your mind again. Peace.
I am too committed to the Fuck It party to change my vote now. On election day, I won’t even care enough to get drunk.
Indentured never waivers from his message, nor should he because he is right. There will be a great awakening. Per usual, only after we shoot ourselves in the foot…….again.
I’ve just become sick of all the back and forth of everyone discussing how to fix this, that and the other fucking thing while the majority of us tiptoe around and ignore the 20 Trillion pound elephant in the room. Any effort to fix what ails us without ending the fed is a giant waste of time and energy. Why bother fixing it when they can just throw more worthless money at perpetuating it or disguising it?
I have no idea how to accomplish ending the fed so I intend to point out as often as I can how the fed is the root cause of nearly every problem discussed.
I know that even without a central bank the hearts of many men are evil but the single greatest tool of mass destruction ever invented is central bank controlled fiat money. Taking away that weapon reduces the corruption to manageable levels.
Each of us I suppose does what we can to inform those around us of the impending doom. However many of those efforts are derailed and marginalized by the left/right paradigm. I don’t need to even use the terms let/right to expose the evil of central banking. The message could be tuned to awaken both those on the left or right without ever offending their political leanings. Their own daily gripes can be traced right back to the fed. Unfortunately it’s going to take a far more talented writer/speaker than I.
