Scott Adams, not so smart cartoonist

https://dilbert.com/strip/2022-05-02

In 2016, Scott Adams publicly backed Trump's bid for the presidency and predicted that Republicans “would be hunted” if Biden won in 2020. He might not be a reactionary hater or a crappy cartoon artist but only into self-ownage. “Because the "joke" is just transphobia. He can't even get the character right.” Adams has already proved himself to be the Ted Rall of Al Capps, forgetting that Asok the intern may have been the first PoC, or was it the Elbonians.

I saw this comic today and I thought the joke was that he WAS white 😬 : pic.twitter.com/0JN2g2Dyxl

waiting 33 years to write a black character & then introducing him as an admitted token doing double duty as the babylon bee’s only joke and confessing the endgame is cancellation martyrdom may be the best example of victimhood mining I’ve ever seen pic.twitter.com/NPKuks2O95

Scott Adams, in addition to achieving fame as the creator of the comic strip Dilbert, has spent the last few years crafting a new facet of his public image: a Trump supporter who spews misinformation on the internet.

In 2016, Adams publicly backed Trump's bid for presidency. In addition, he laid into Trump's 2016 opposer, Hillary Clinton, claiming she had stoked "violence against police, violence against Trump supporters, and death threats to bloggers such as me."

Those views apparently held firm all the way through Trump's presidency. And a year ago, on July 1, 2020, Adams tweeted an ominous warning to all Republicans.

With the Biden vs. Trump Presidential campaign in full swing at the time, Adams attempted to predict the horrors that would await members of the GOP if Biden, a Democrat, was elected in the fall.

If you purchased the original of a Scott Adams comic and livestreamed yourself destroying it, I'm guessing the same right-wing chuds would be screaming about "cancel culture" https://t.co/Q2D7r0w25j
