Scott Adams of Dilbert: I'm Endorsing Donald Trump, Because My Only Care In Politics Now Is To Push Back Against the Relentless, Remorseless Social Bullying of the Liberal Media and Political Establishment
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.) ... 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? ... 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 agree with this wholeheartedly. My politics have basically changed to be about only this about two or three years ago. I have noticed, with great chagrin, that many conservatives support the Social Bullying Model -- the Social Justice Warrior coordinated group pile-on mass-shaming -- when it's someone else's ox being gored. I don't. Enough. Enough of it all. It is a bad enough fate to be a slave with a single master. To be a slave with ten million masters? Worse. Interestingly -- or perhaps inevitably -- two whiny NeverTrumpers have penned recent columns about, basically, this same idea, that they are supporting Hillary due to bullying from Trump's more deranged followers. (Followers? Some are followers. Some are trolls. Some are trolls paid, most likely, by a foreign government to reduce Americans' faith in participatory government.) I don't disagree with them on the point that the bullying is nasty -- and I oppose, as I said, Social Justice Warrioring coming from the right (or "alt-right") as well as the left. These whiners shouldn't have had to through that, and it's a bad thing they did. However, it also seems to me that this bullying is coming on Twitter from, let us say, economically and socially fringe people with little power in the world. It's not coming from where Team Hillary's bullying is coming from -- from the actual power centers of politics and media, the actual locus of genuine political power and control. Does that make the behavior less egregious, or the whiners' pain less real? No it does not. Threats and racist nastiness and insults directed at one's family are painful and unacceptable no matter which septic tanks they rise up from. But there is a big difference between bullying from some fringey Twitter losers and bullying coming from CNN and the media. Witness what they did to Ken Bone, for example. Fringe people saying awful things is a scourge, obviously, but that's been with us since the dawn of time. But when people in actual power begin picking a target, freezing it, isolating it, and attacking it with the full force of ten million megaphones -- that's an actual threat to the social freedom of every citizen in America. We've all learned to not upset the Right People, haven't we? No matter how brave one might thing one is in the face of Social Justice Outrage Scalp-Hunting, we have all either consciously or subconsciously adapted our behaviors and limited our own free speech to avoid the bloody fury of the Maenads. Right now the media has a new target for bullying: Taylor Swift. Seems the pop princess hasn't joined the other pop princesses in endorsing Hillary, Esquire is now a jihad to socially bully her into taking a stand against Trump. Doesn't anyone have a sense of perspective? Who actually has more capacity to do harm and gin up hatred and bullying -- Esquire magazine (and you know another 30 media outlets will begin pushing this same line, because they're lazy, unimaginitive, slavisly imitative, and viciously partisan) or @OdinsTears69 on Twitter? Incidentally, the NeverTrump crowd never fails to insult me by subtweet (a tweet with an intended target/recipient, but in which the target's @-handle is not used; a way to talk about them behind their backs, but publicly) for daring to be a Republican actually interested in stopping a Democrat from winning the White House. In fact, there are several groups actively seeking purges of We Deplorables from the party -- and the whiners who whine about bullying on National Review never discuss that at all. Infinite pixels for the outrages of the "Trumpkins," none at all for the misbehavior of their ideological kinsmen. As usual, one tends to overlook the misbehavior of one's fellow pro-Hillary partisans, while focusing laser-like on the misbehavior of one's pro-Trump enemies. So yes, bullying is rampant online, but I have very little patience for those who permit it from their allies and only rouse themselves to condemn it in from their enemies. That's not a very "consistent conservative" or "principled" position, NeverTrumpers, now is it? I also don't respect moral foppery which declares I Will Vote For Hillary Because Some of Trump's More Febrile Supporters Insulted Me Nastily Online, while utterly failing to condemn Hillary and her allies -- her very powerful allies -- for their own social bullying efforts. By the way, you guys making your purge lists: You needn't bother. I've purged myself. I don't wish to be in any party you're in, and I will actively work against your interests in the future. Forever. Right wing Social Justice Warrioring is still Social Justice Warrioring, you Millennial idiots, and you much-older-and-should-certainly-know-better morons.

It is disheartening. Like, Ace, I'm not really a "conservative". (I prefer "radical Jeffersonian" as a descriptor, partly because nobody gets it.)
But I've always been able to hang with conservatives because, unlike the Left, they don't scream at you like Donald Sutherland in Body Snatchers when they find out you disagree.
Turns out a lot of 'em actually will. It's just a matter of where the disagreement lies.

Scott Adams has been a must read this season. 6 months ago I thought his talk about persuasion was really unhinged, but he has slowly convinced me.
His views on the election have really come at a substantial professional cost. I can sense the stress is starting to get to him, I wish him well. A fascinating thinker.

Scott Adams: " Their argument is built on confirmation bias and persuasion."
That's all they have. But it is quite powerful. And it works, especially on the Republican establishment who run like cowards when the Democrats raise their hand in anger.

Scott Adams has at one point or another in this campaign, endorsed Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson, and now Donald Trump. I am waiting for the final shoe to drop where he announces his endorsement of Jill Stein.
Or maybe it won't be the final shoe. There is still the McMuffin to consider.

Someone can only bully you with your permission. One nice thing about getting old and fat: when someone starts that shit with me, I simply look them in the eye and say, "I don't give a fuck what you think."
I'm not sure at what age that can be done, but certainly a "G" rated version should be taught as an early remedy to this.

I think we gloss over the very real likelihood that the worst of the Trump "supporters" online are also Hillary plants. How hard would it be to get a few egg accounts on Twitter to make racist memes? Not very. All it takes is one whiff of antisemitism from the periphery to get the likes of Jen Rubin to go full neverTrump.
Now, I wouldn't discount that there are real Trump supporters who pull that shit or folks who are doing it for the lulz. But I find it much more reasonable to believe that when somebody posts things that make Trump supporters appear in the worst possible light, they might not actually be Trump supporters, but people who want to make him look bad.
But I don't have a rich mommy who propelled me into the pundit class, so what do I know?

Ever since I was a child, I have had a visceral negative reaction to any peer pressure activities, or the false narrative of relying on an 'expert' to tell one what to think. I never understood any need to 'get along', or to 'do what you are told' by anyone other than my parents or supervisors. One of the big reasons I tend conservative is the idea of independence in thought and action, and I always assumed those in political alignment with me shared those feelings, and a great many have, though a few tend to follow this bullying mode.
What has happened to the people of this country that following the herd, and brainless repetition of talking points now is the rule and not ridiculed? How did we get so that millions are pushed around like sheep, and let it happen?

Adams makes GREAT points throughout this post.
But it's strange that this is his third endorsement in a short time -- maybe two or three months. He first endorsed Clinton, but openly claiming it was just cover to avoid this sort of bullying. Then, Johnson, when he saw Clinton's proposal on estate taxes. Now, Trump, as a thumb in the left's eye.
I don't know what conclusion to draw, except that he is a strange guy with strange obsessions about persuasion.

The man wasn't a plant (like so many Hil-rah the everliving questions) and he wasn't seeking the public eye, but he dared to ask their God-King an uncomfortable question and for that he was to be destroyed.

If Trump loses (which I don't expect to happen), "Trumpism" isn't going away. If you look at his policy proposals there's something in there for all the Repub factions except the co-opted Establishment types and the Neo-Cons.
If Hillary is elected (which I don't expect to happen) a disastrous four-year term is baked in. Who would be the 2020 R nominee. It won't be Paul Ryan, who may no longer be Speaker. I'd bet on Pence picking up Trump's mantle, with less opera.

That's why I want to see him win. He's the everyman striking back against an insane culture gone radical more every year. Hillary is a voice for more, more, more of it.

In the '50s, Poul Anderson wrote a novel called "Brain Wave" which posited that biological intelligence in an area of space was affected by large, moving fields of energy dampening. In his story, the earth exits the field its been in for millions of years and everyone gets five times as smart as they were. (Animals included!)
I feel like maybe it's the other way around. There are big clouds of stupidity and insanity moving over us most of the time, with brief outbreaks of intelligence and sanity.

I voted for a lot of independents, and one libertarian judge. I don't trust or care for most libertarian politicians, but as a judge, I'd like a guy who holds liberty highest in their list of priorities.

It is a bad enough fate to be a slave with a single master. To be a slave with ten million masters? Worse.
There was a quote similar to that during the Revolution, as I recall, when one Tory said that he preferred being ruled by one tyrant a thousand miles away than by a thousand tyrants one mile away.

"Trumpism" isn't going away. If you look at his policy proposals there's something in there for all the Repub factions except the co-opted Establishment types and the Neo-Cons.
There is no Trumpism. Trump is a candidate, not a movement.

One of us will be purged when this shit comes to a head, which it rapidly is. Society cannot continue on like it is, with one side openly attacking, shaming, bullying, intimidating and harassing the other. They are only allowed to continue to do this because we let them. We've been patient as parents with unruly children can be, but that patience is nearing an end.
What they don't get, what they fail to acknowledge (i'd love to see someone start writing THAT article), is that they are truly fucking with the wrong people. The limp-wristed, beta male, femi-nazi bridgade and SJW crew are messing with true to life, shit-kicking cowboys and rednecks who'd love nothing more than a chance to wring some bullying asshole's neck.
One would think at some point, one of these less-dumb individuals will write an article asking the question, is it wise for us to keep kicking the big man in the shin?

Hillary supporters and the equally odious #NeverTrumpers only prove that the imaginary left and right wings are equal along a totalitarian plane.
Which is why I reject a right wing label, I am for liberty and the line that separates us is vertical. Downward towards slavery, upwards towards liberty...a real smart former President said that once. The #NeverTrump crowd uses the same arguments as the other totalitarians, therefore my simple calculus is they are the same. Walks like a Donald Ducks, Quacks like a Donald Ducks...therefore they are Donald Ducks.

Incidentally, the NeverTrump crowd never fails to insult me by subtweet (a tweet with an intended target/recipient, but in which the target's @-handle is not used; a way to talk about them behind their backs, but publicly) for daring to be a Republican actually interested in stopping a Democrat from winning the White House.
here's another
Republicans Helping Elect Another Failed Clinton
http://spectator.org/republicans-helping-elect-another-failed-clinton/
The Never Trump folks believe theyre voting principle. Many have asserted that Hillary Clinton won't be the strong ( wo )man that many of us fear. They assert that fear itself has become a problem. The world didn't end under Obama. The four-year political fear cycle is always hyperbole, they contend. It never gets that bad. America is still standing even after eight years of Obama.
Yes, there are those that argue that Obama's tenure didn't irreparably harm America. Many beg to differ:
20 Trillion in debt
Debauched moral culture
Destabilized institutions including FBI, DOJ, SoS, DHS
Rule of Law thrown out
Troubled race relations
Politicized institutions including the IRS and all the above
Weakened United States on the world stage
Permanent underclass of workers who've given up looking for work
Obamacare killing health care costs
Metastasized war in the Middle East
Destabilization in Asia
New Cold War with Russia
There's more and worse.
Hillary will not ameliorate one of these issues. She'll calcify them. They'll become hardwired into the American DNA. Then, there's the Supreme Court.

I really don't care about bullying from people or even the media. I'm more concerned with people who want to actually control my life AND my thoughts, by the coercive force of government. I also don't want to be subjected to violence by idiots - which is really what the left is about. Not bullying in the neo-modern "you hurt my feelings" sense, but real, physical violence. And when the powers that be actually sanction that violence against me - by not prosecuting the criminals and throwing me in jail if I defend myself - ... then that is a real problem.
Opinions and people telling me how much they hate me ... I really couldn't care less. Frankly, i don't care what most people think about anything.

But when people in actual power begin picking a target, freezing it, isolating it, and attacking it with the full force of ten million megaphones -- that's an actual threat to the social freedom of every citizen in America.
When's Justine land?
Look, I've been hounded out of areas of life which I quit enjoyed because I could not stand either having to put up with vicious insults or being drawn down into throwing punches back. Hell, there are entire political topics about which I do not speak except to an extremely limited number of people and only then in private because I am not willing to pay the price of doing so publicly. And that's just peer shaming.
We are facing what can only be described as a Stalinist, if not outright Orwellian, world in which anyone's private thoughts and actions can now bring about a world of official, government sanctioned personal destruction.
Look at what is going on with Title IX and the utterly insane view of it being taken by OCR right now. Some random guy at UT makes up the name "Sarah Jackson" as the name of the lab assistant because he couldn't remember her name and he gets a zero on the quiz because someone (the lab assistant, it must be) decided that he was referencing some porn star and not that he picked two random common names.
He complains about that, it gets picked up online and then the Title IX office opens an official investigation into him.
That's not even Star Chamber stuff. That's outright Stasi insanity.
The IRS, by its own admission, targeted individual Americans based on their political views.
And you know what? I don't blame people for wanting to use that power for themselves. That is human nature. We are cruel, vicious beasts. But that doesn't make it right.

Trump is on CNN right now giving a speech.
He mentioned Wikileaks, Bill's corruption and laid out a nice case against Hillary.
I'm surprised CNN allowed it to air and just didn't cut him off with a story of young Muslims having bad dreams...
I think the rot in all Western countries is too deep, but Trump is probably the last best shot at change. If he loses, I don't care what happens...

Trump is the Republican Candidate. He is NOT a UNIPARTY approved candidate. The Uniparty and their media buddies want to stop him, because he might blow up the show.

Scott Adams is deliberately trying to nullify his own "endorsement". That's why he keeps switching up. I think he's saying, "Don't be an idiot. It doesn't matter who I endorse. If you really care it's probably because you want to use it as a cudgel against me after the election."

So well said.
If you have a star on the walk of Fame it too will be defaced and removed. The idiot that did that said in an interview that he was so upset at Trump for his treatment of women, that he planned to sell the star and name he removed and use the money for these poor abused women that Trump brutalized. I wonder how much the Clinton campaign paid him to do this.
Willowed from the last thread:
On MSN website, they have a headline:
"Trump Pushes Melania Back on Campaign Trail"
You see he pushed her! That brute! He probably grabbed her by the you-know-what and pushed her onto the trail with nothing but a covered wagon.

It's interesting you say this, because I've sort of come to the same conclusion. If Trump loses, I'll reregister as "unaffiliated" as probably drop out of politics for a few cycles. The Republican leadership is almost against my beliefs as much as the dems at this point.

My only quibbles: One - as someone above said - the quote : "I don't know who has the best policies?" The deuce you say! And Two - as to Trump support being 40% - I think there are lots and lots of hidden Trumpistas like me - and we are getting more and more pissed every day. its a lot more than 40%. We have not spoken up because of so many of us being in deep blue states where the bullying is relentless and disgusting. No. We remain silent. We will be heard in November. Yes we will.

And Two - as to Trump support being 40% - I think there are lots and lots of hidden Trumpistas like me - and we are getting more and more pissed every day. its a lot more than 40%. We have not spoken up because of so many of us being in deep blue states where the bullying is relentless and disgusting. No. We remain silent. We will be heard in November. Yes we will.

Many of the Morons were offended by Adam's tweet. They are on the string at Twitchy too.
I wasn't offended, I just think he's off target with the IS tweet. They're incompetent, sloppy, and juvenile, whether they strike or don't has no bearing on our politics.

I read it as tongue in cheek, but I guess that's not what it was. He said there is more to come.

And you know what? I don't blame people for wanting to use that power for themselves. That is human nature. We are cruel, vicious beasts. But that doesn't make it right.
Its not surprising, but I sure do blame people for doing it, because its wrong. Power is a tool to be used in the service of others, period. Using it in any other way is evil and wrong.

Trump needs to tell his rally-goers to get all their neighbors and family to vote before a Clinton voter steals their voter info and casts a vote in their name before they do.
This "Vote Early" bullshit is just Vote Early, Vote Often.
It gives the Democrats a whole month to play shenanigans with the voter rolls.

1.) I hate Hillary. I cannot justify any principled vote that results in rewarding her with the presidency.
2.) Trump pisses off all the right people.
3.) He's right on a few issues (which is more than I can say for his opponent.)
I can't stay home, and I'll be damned if I vote for that poor sot Gary Johnson. So I'm voting Trump. And honestly, it doesn't require me to hold my nose as tightly as did voting for John McCain in 2008.

"There is no Trumpism. Trump is a candidate, not a movement."
Says you.
If Trump loses (which I don't expect to happen), what kind of nominee will we get in 2020?
It still won't be from the GOPe. And there aren't enough "Constitutional Conservatives" and/or SoCons.
You don't have to call it "Trumpism" but it will mostly be what Trump's running on now -- being the anti-Obama. In our hypothetical, in four years it'll be the anti-Hillary.
I'd call it "America First" but that name got taken, unfortunately.

Lord knows, the Clinton SOP in all things is bully, bully, bully. Its a career constant, for both Hillary and Bill, alongside self-aggrandizement and lust for power.
Dolly Kyle tells the story in her book about Bill's first reaction, when (back in his presidency) she called him at the White House to tell him a reporter was in town asking questions. He didn't offer help, sympathy or try to strategize with her. Instead he threatened her first thing: "We will destroy you if you cooperate" she claims he said, right off the bat.

Wikileaks items that might help with the independents or thinking Dems
*Hillary accused Trump of inciting violence, even as she funded that violence (hired bullies, to make Trump voters look like bullies, and lied about it)
*Clinton camp was discussing prep for the October "swift boating" back in the primaries (lining up the women back then, like fat beauty queen prepped by team Hillary) Uses media to give hours to lying "victims", buried Wikileaks stories
*Hillary thought she could get away with "it", Obama used pseudonym, lied to US. (exposes her bullying/bribing of her staff, and the agencies, to break the law)
Hillary is exposed as the Thug, the Liar, the Crook ... all with a smile and a cackle. Her friend Merkel is a like minded thug, tearing apart Germany.
Deep state, shadow government ... well entrenched is the deeper story, that enables the bullying to be so coordinated and widespread, with no reprisal. Only whistle blowers face reprisal.

Not quite I think, his endorsement of Hillary was always tongue in cheek, for his own personal safety, and the Johnson endorsement was as well, to avoid blow back while the various sexual harassment victims were being paraded out. He telegraphed this post about a week in advance, and the coordinated attacks on him from the left and #nevertrump really picked up over that time, he was trending on facebook earlier for being ridiculed for suggesting that ISIS might prefer Hillary.

Speaking of Scott Adams and bullying ...
This is how bad it's gotten. As I'm sure some of you are aware, one of the recent big video game releases is Civilization VI. If you're not familiar with the game, it's a simulation of taking a Stone Age tribe from the dawn of civilization into the Space Age and beyond. Obviously, it takes a loooong time to play an average session of it. Part of the game is advancing your civ with various technologies, and for the last few iterations of the game those technologies have been accompanied by a quotation from a famous or historical person. Scott Adams gets one in this game.
This has caused various screaming meemies on the net to completely freak out. Never mind that we're talking about five seconds out of a game that will consume dozens of hours at minimum; that's just too much for these people to tolerate.
Heat Street has a decent summary of the episode if you don't care to troll through left wing Twitter feeds.

After recent revelation from WikiLeaks and Project Veritas about our ruling class, I'm not on board with this at all:

Our government is expanding secret drone bases around the world.
If our entire form of government hadn't been explicitly revealed to be such a massive con - maybe, maybe.
But the crop of remorseless, shameless, power corrupted con artists we have over us now...
Not a chance. We should not be doing this. I don't believe them anymore for the reasons they are doing this. They aren't doing this for us. They are doing this for 'them'. Nothing will change my mind about that.

Breitbart has an article about Hillary campaigning in Lake Worth Flordia.(Um, Disneyland? Why Lake Worth?) Anyway, the gist of it is a twitter video that some blogger took of Hillary needing someone to help her step up one step onto a riser box.
Kind of meh. There is no handrail, etc. and it is about an 18 inch step which is significant for someone as short as she is. So having her SS detail take her hand and help her up isn't a big deal, it would be a death sentence for an agent to stand there and let her fall off of it or struggle to get on it.
What is more weird about the video is the bizarre, high pitched screaming coming from her syncophants. They were tagged as an overflow crowd(uh huh), not sure what size building the rally was held. Might have been a union hall for all I know.
These people sound like a bunch of 13 year olds at a Hanson concert. Or a junior high who won a visit from Justin Timberlake.
The Trump events I've attended greets him with a lot of applause and whistles and Trump Trump. No shrieking teenagers.
Trump's people put up a social network notice that a rally is going to happen in a couple of hours and the place gets packed.

Breitbart has an article about Hillary campaigning in Lake Worth Flordia.(Um, Disneyland? Why Lake Worth?) Anyway, the gist of it is a twitter video that some blogger took of Hillary needing someone to help her step up one step onto a riser box.

I've had a feeling Scott Adams has been writing his own narrative the last year or so. I've been expecting this 'final endorsement' for a while.
Not a criticism, just an observation.
I am very strongly anti-bullying. But I also believe in attacking my and my countries enemies. When it comes to that, I don't take any weapons off the table.
They started this, we should finish it. Verbally, for as long as that works. Not sure if that will work in California anymore, for example.

And no one - NO ONE - at the IRS paid a price for this.

" . . . an actual threat to the social freedom of every citizen in America."
And that is where we are and have never been before.
Team Trump needs to get on the airwaves with this, somehow. His handlers need to write quotes he can say that emphasize this loudly and clearly.

I don't think I've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter, Maaria, as I just did a moment ago.
"Baba, I had a scary dream," she said pitifully, hugging me tight. "About Donald Trump. He was so mean to us. He had a scary face, like a zombie or something."
I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why Donald Trump is a filthy dirty dog of a kaffir deserving of torture and death. "Donald Trump is the spawn of an ifrit, Honey, which are enormous demons with wings of fire."
I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessness were just too much. Maaria's lower lip started to tremble and her eyes began to fill with tears.
"Daddy" she said, "why in the hell did you spell my name 'Maaria' with two 'a's'? All the kids at school laugh about it and go, 'MAAAAria! MAAAAria!' like they're extras or something in 'West Side Story'. It's fucking embarrassing. What are you, retarded?"
Well, that was it for me. She just fell into my arms and we both began sobbing for several minutes. And then I strangled her, of course, because what man would allow his daughter to talk to him so impertinently?

You could name your broomstick "Taylor Swift" and get the same look. She is one oddly skinny young woman.
Yeah but she's naturally that way instead of starved and freakish. I was a total beanpole skeleton until around age 30, I grew up skinny as a rail. Some folks are just that way, and she has a pretty face, I think.

Scott Adams was coy about an actual endorsement of Trump because he didn't want to have his Day Job get hurt.
Well, it did get hurt, so he came out of the closet.
His speaking engagements drying up may have more to do with the people doing the hiring not wanting the hassle of protesters than their being anti-Trump, which I think is even worse.
Milo gets cancelled a lot, but he gets hired a lot precisely because he brings heat and frisson. Scott Adams, not so much.

Says you.
If Trump loses (which I don't expect to happen), what kind of nominee will we get in 2020?
It still won't be from the GOPe. And there aren't enough "Constitutional Conservatives" and/or SoCons.
You don't have to call it "Trumpism" but it will mostly be what Trump's running on now -- being the anti-Obama. In our hypothetical, in four years it'll be the anti-Hillary.
I'd call it "America First" but that name got taken, unfortunately.
Posted by: Ignoramus at October 27, 2016 02:36 PM (r1fLd)
Yeah, says me. The Tea Party was a movement, there were lots of candidates associated with it. It's dead now, killed of by the GOPe. Trump is a candidate that is an outgrowth of that.
Because underneath the veneer of Constitutional Principles, was really folks who wanted to not be bullied. That's why the Gadsden Flag ended up the rallying symbol - Don't Tread On Me.
After the glorious flameout and turning of bright lights in the Tea Party, the idea that politeness gets you no respect began to take hold. Trump is an expression of that - not the other way around.
As for 2020, I don't even know who "we" will be then. If Trump wins, the GOP gets a little bit of a renewal of its lease on life, winning is soothing balm. Losing, on the other hand, will rip what is left up. Like ace, I think a lot of people are just fed up. There will probably still be a rump GOPe pushing Ryan or some other milksop as candidate, and then there will be some other party, who knows what it will be called, who will have an even bigger bull for the China shop.

This Scott Adams article and Ace's response are perhaps the most important essays of 2016.
And although I agree wholeheartedly in most respects, I'd like to address Ace's statement,
"I have noticed, with great chagrin, that many conservatives support the Social Bullying Model -- the Social Justice Warrior coordinated group pile-on mass-shaming -- when it's someone else's ox being gored.
I don't. Enough. Enough of it all."
I personally never engage in Social Bullying, but your argument against it here is the same argument that Gandhi used when he said, "An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind."
Uh, yes, Mr. Gandhi. That's the whole point.
Although half the liberals in the Bay Area have that Gandhi quote on a bumpsticker, and are immensely smug about its wisdom, I contend that it is a disastrous moral error.
If, on some island, a cruel bully goes around blinding everyone until he is the only one left with sight, and he uses this advantage to enslave all his blinded victims top do his bidding, and then by chance one blind victim clutching a sharp rock manages to grab ahold of the bully, do you and Gandhi think he should refrain from blinding him as well, because "we should turn the other cheek" and we "don't want to leave the whole world blind" and "just because someone else does something evil doesn't mean you should do the same evil"?
In some cases, such as my scenario, hell yes, blind that motherfucker, not so much that he "gets a dose of his own medicine," but so that he can no longer perpetrate evil because his advantage has been taken away.
So, if some leftist opens himself up to social shaming because he has blundered, while I will not participate myself, I'm not going to complain too vociferously if he gets taken down a notch.
Ace, you yourself say that our side is losing because for too long we have played by the Marquess of Quensberry Rules while the other side is in a street brawl. So, now, if they want to go the Full Alinsky, then the Full Alinsky it shall be. Pandora's Box has been opened.

>If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.
Sign stealing is a tried and true political tactic on both sides. Politics has always been dirty.
Other than that, I pretty much agree. I read this lady's book about shame, and that's really all this is - a bunch of your friends/family/associates trying to shame everyone else into voting the way they want. It's so obnoxious.
And I don't like Donald Trump, so it makes it even more obnoxious because I have no desire to defend him.

There is no defending a Hillary win. This is a woman who proudly supports genocide. This is a woman who deliberately violates the very Federal Laws she desires to write and enforce. This is a woman who has used the pulpit of power to destroy women whose only crime is to be raped or molested by the bag of shit that Hillary married. This is a woman who destroyed a 12 year old girl with innuendo in lieu of evidence. The only thing Hillary could do to improve this nation is to slip the mortal coil and leave the rest of us alone.

"I don't think I've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I did just a moment ago. She couldn't understand why Brian Williams would lie about being shot down in Iraq when so many things are wrong in this country. "Doesn't Mr. Williams care about the truth anymore?" she asked pitifully.
I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why Brian Williams would abandon his integrity. "Honey, I think his boss, Mr. Capus, told Mr. Williams to lie about his experience to make everyone realize just how horrible the illegal war that President Bush lied us into really was. If someone as important and invaluable to all of us as Mr. Williams could be placed in danger by the lying President Bush, perhaps that would finally lead to the impeachment and arrest President Bush. In fact, we should be thanking Mr. Williams for so nobly sacrificing his own integrity in order to make everyone aware of President Bush's evil actions......"
I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessness were just too much. I think my daughter could tell something was wrong. I found myself at a loss for words - nothing makes sense anymore. I finally had to admit "Honey, I just don't know - I don't know what's going on in this country anymore...."
When I finished, her lower lip started to tremble and her eyes began to fill with tears. "Daddy," she said, "Why are the Republicans doing this to our country?" Well, that was it for me. I finally fell apart. She just fell into my arms and we both began sobbing for several minutes.
For once, she had to comfort me and get me back on my feet. Sometimes I think it's just too much, but seeing the strength in my daughter's voice helped to get me through.

"Sign stealing is a tried and true political tactic on both sides."
Are there people swiping Hillary signs? Did anybody swipe Barrett signs during the Walker recall? If so, I haven't heard of those incidents - not even from leftists.

Two reasons to vote Trump - He Fights and He Will Restore Laughter to our Nation. I'm all in on fighting and laughing.
================================================
Most persuasive argument to date.

I think a good ad would have been a lecturing Clinton followed by "Do you want this person giving the SOTU address every year?"

This is a complete mess.
As for me. If Trump wins the bullies win. Period.
I hate Hillary, not voting for either. But if Trump wins the bullies win.
Not okay.
Neither is it okay if crime does pay... which will be confirmed win
Hillary wins, but crime has paid for a long time now pretending it
doesn't if just whistling past the grave yard.
At Washington Post I defend Trump's win. Here I defend Hillary's.
Because we are screwed either way.

I was a Tea Partier, but it lacked organization, almost by definition, and national scale figures. Which is why it was partly co-opted, and the rest got strangled in its crib.
But it did lead to changes in the make-up of Congress that will mostly if not entirely last past this election cycle.
If Trump loses (which he won't) those he motivated this cycle aren't going away.

People are becoming dumber and dumber. As I've said, they are deliberately ensuring Clinton's future at the expense of their own. They will never find full-time work, or affordable health care, or pay their bills, but by god they voted Democrat.

Heh. Loved C1, C2 but C3 most of all. Probably because C3 was the one I most got into, and could actually play at Monarch or something. I thought C4 was okay but I somehow couldn't get into C5. I figured I'd rather go back to C4 and C5 before bothering with C6.
(While I have hundreds of books to read, and might actually get through them in this life, I have hundreds of computer games as well, and will most certainly NOT.)

Beck lost his sanity about six months ago. When he started with claiming that God had sent Ted Cruz to save us. And that maybe Ted Cruz was God or Jesus and we were rejecting Him.
I can't imagine how much longer his show is going to air. His numbers have to have fallen off a cliff, and he has to have sponsors who are ready to book.
I can seem him back on air on some obscure religious channel, supported by the Mormon church. Until he finally has to go back into rehab or the medical clinic or whatever he claims saved him from dying of brain shutdown last time.

"I have noticed, with great chagrin, that many conservatives support the Social Bullying Model -- the Social Justice Warrior coordinated group pile-on mass-shaming -- when it's someone else's ox being gored."
I have never liked this either, but I would note that, since the progressive SJWs started the trend of group pile-ons going back to Bork, that I do have a bit of schadenfreude when it comes back at the Left.
But I don't want any schadenfreude at all, I simply want fair and equal discourse. But that does not exist.

Collectively across the rest, if we were to guage public anger on a 12 step scale, since the Doomsday clock is taken, I'd put the West at about step 10.
Step 12 is where people just throw up their hands, say 'F@ck it' and the mobs exact revenge.

God warned them of all the liabilities of having to answer to human authority - basically: "They will enslave you" But they insisted and got their king. Not too many years went by until they found themselves slaves. Moral of the story: they're gonna sell you down the river.

ACE: Thank you for pointing out how the #NeverTrump crowd only condemns ugliness among the GOP/right/Trump crowd. Though piously claiming they'll not vote for Hillary, the NeverTrumpers only discourage Repubs from voting Trump but do not discourage Dems from voting Hillary. This is an extension of the principled loser philosophy that allows Dems to conduct Borkings and vote against GOP SCOTUS appointees while the GOP stays above the fray - and therefore hands the courts to the left. Effectively an extension of Failure Theater where GOP elites can pride themselves on being such noble losers while handing the left political victories.

When they were working on Civilization 4, they had lots of discussion on the game's forums about what should be in it, game designers asking for input.
My brother suggested Israel be one of the civilizations, since it has historically been such a powerful, influential, and historical force through the millennia. After all, they put the Iroquois in, who contributed nothing and accomplished nothing in their short culture. They have Aztecs and Maya. He was shouted down by an assortment of people who don't know history and those who hate Jews. Israel/Hebrews never made it into the game.

Most satisfying thing ever. We, as a nation, are that kid.
We're not there, not quite yet. But if Trump loses, and they keep the pressure on? If Hillary continues Obama's radical leftist ramming of culture and using the government as a bludgeon against political enemies?
Then the body slam is coming.

I think Gandhi and the current Dali Lama are in a close tie for the most overrated spiritual leaders of any century, with maybe the edge going to the Dali Lama, whose every saying seems concocted by Writer #7 working overtime at the fortune cookie factory.

I dumped a lot of people on Twitter because I couldn't stand their petulant need to post every snide Trump bashing meme and comment and almost never, ever criticize Hillary. It was like an obsession, every single topic and day was another opportunity to put a thumb in the eye of Donald Trump. I pinned a couple of them down on whether or not they actually wanted Hillary to lose. Few of them even responded. I had to just walk away. Some of them even used to post here as co bloggers.
Enough. You're clearly not in the same world I live in, fellas. Have a nice life, but have it somewhere not near me.

I get a real kick out of the fact that the Dolly Lama, currently in his 17th incarnation or something, was so terrified of being killed by the CHinese that he ran away. I guess you can never really count on that 18th incarnation. There's a limit to everything.

One lengthy post, you're decrying your loyalty to a party that seems committed to losing and serial political idiocy, and you claim you're actually going to join the Democrats, if only to be on a winning side and avoid embarrassment/GOP futility/etc. I've seen at least two posts--lengthy, unambiguous posts--of this stripe.
The next, you're foursquare against the Democrats for pulling the kind of shit described in Adams' piece, and you're claiming that you've felt the same way for 2-3 years.
"A foolish consistency..." and all that, but I confess to being completely disoriented. Maybe it's this year. Anyway, strange stuff.

I get a kick out of "Republicans" who miss the good old days with an honorable man like George bush in the White House or as a candidate.
I think they miss the good old days before 1994 when they were a permanent minority who didn't really have to do anything except attend dinner parties.

One lengthy post, you're decrying your loyalty to a party that seems committed to losing and serial political idiocy, and you claim you're actually going to join the Democrats, if only to be on a winning side and avoid embarrassment/GOP futility/etc. I've seen at least two posts--lengthy, unambiguous posts--of this stripe.
If you are going to be in opposition to the GOP, then the Dems will be the home. Unless of course you want good dope, then there is Libertarian Party.
Until the shakeout occurs, and there is a new party, its still a binary choice.

It's always been a well known secret that we have a one party system with Global Interests who collude with the media and other institutions to destroy America.
Holding these people accountable for their crimes against this country is the right thing to do.
There are factions from the right that engage in bullying to fulfill a sadistic nature. Those people hurt the righteous movement to stop the traitors and hold then accountable.

You've missed the weaponizing of our government to be used as a bulllying tool against the people it is suppose to represent. They shame through public policies, undermine the public school system to support their social programs, undercut the military and try to destroy moral by making it a social policy proving ground, audit those they don't agree with and corrupt the justice system when their misdeeds are so egregious they can't be ignored.
They don't want to govern. They want to rule and will crush anyone in their way who doesn't agree with them.
It is truly a divisive, disgusting, corrupt and autocratic group.
It is in action a tyranny of a majority that de Tocqueville wrote about.
I would hope at some point people would understand they've been made into political dupes and are. It focused on the real issues. But I grow doubtful each day that will happen without some type of clarion call.

Finally had a chance to read an article on the ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday for Trump's DC hotel in the old US Post office.
CBSN's reporter sneered at the hotel opening, claiming that the only reason Trump got the contract was because he outbid Marriott, Hilton, etc. (duh). And that was because Marriott, Hilton, etc knew that at the price Trump paid for the hotel, there is no way he can repay the costs of the hotel reconstruction, and pay the $200,000M ten year lease to the US gov. on the room rates he's going to charge. That he would have to charge $725 a night per room average to just break even.
Nowhere has anyone accounted for what any of the stores, restaurants or more importantly meeting rooms and event rooms for weddings, gov. functions, etc. are going to bring in addition to room rates.
But by all means, let's pretend that Trump's hotel investments are all bad , crazy ideas.

Wikileaks email dump proves what I long have suspected: you know why Bill Cosby disappeared from the headlines? It was a huge story, then suddenly crickets.
Because the Clinton team feared Clinton-Cosby comparisons. I know I personally found it a mother lode to dig into when Cosby came up, reminding people of the horrific evil of Bill Clinton's actions. I was able to flip several young women against Hillary because they'd never even heard of Bill Clinton's rape victims. They had no idea, until they were told.

223 When they were working on Civilization 4, they had lots of discussion on the game's forums about what should be in it, game designers asking for input.
My brother suggested Israel be one of the civilizations, since it has historically been such a powerful, influential, and historical force through the millennia. After all, they put the Iroquois in, who contributed nothing and accomplished nothing in their short culture. They have Aztecs and Maya. He was shouted down by an assortment of people who don't know history and those who hate Jews. Israel/Hebrews never made it into the game.

yeah I agree. But "SJW" is about "social justice", a Marxist argument in essence, imo. Fighting for what is right, "shaming" the PC weak minds, would need another term. Fearless Patriots?

One spokesperson speculated that the group formed more or less spontaneously after reports circulated about the accelerating collapse of the Clinton campaign across the country.

Bill didn't endorse Gore in 2000 because Gore publicly criticized Bill over MonicaGate, and generally tried to distance himself.
Gore returned the favor in 2008 by not endorsing Hillary.
One of the reasons the Clintons were so greedy in trading favors for dollars was that they envied the much larger scam ManBearPig pulled off over CAGW. FFS, Gore even got a Nobel Prize and an Oscar!

She said that the media keeps circulating a meme that the Trump brand and hotels are suffering because of Trumps presidential run, which she says is not true. She said as an example, she was being told by a business reporter that they did research on the hotel's occupancy rate and according to what they found, the rates were down by 50%. She provided the reporter with company internal reports, revenue reports, etc. and booking rates from the company.
She said the reporter kept insisting and when she asked where they got their data, he named some obscure hotel booking company Ivanka wasn't even aware of, that had booked a grand total of 16 rooms this year.
From that , this reporter was basing his conclusions.
She said what was worse, he wasn't interested in the actual documents she was willing to provide him.

No, not at all. Adams takes the view that people are essentially
hypnotized, which is why persuasion--independent of logic or
reason--works.
***
Most people don't have the inclination to actually read about the policy details. In a society with a small government that works pretty well - if there are only 1 or 2 issues at stake in any given election any reasonably intelligent person will know where the candidates stand. But with our bloated Levithan that doesn't scale.
I mean hell, if your big issue is "no more war" the obvious candidate should be Trump since unlike Hillary he hasn't started any and isn't promising to start one with Russia. I guarantee you if you took 100 Hillary voters and asked them about this less then 10 would have any idea what Hillary's views on Syria/Russia are.

358 I feel sorry for Adams. I want to whisper into his ear, "I'm happy you've seen the light, but don't bother dude. It won't make a bit of difference, and will only paint a target on your back." He probably thinks (naively) is that all he needs to do is articulate his position, and people will change their minds.

I've read his book and his interest is to raise self awareness of his fellow Americans regarding predatory salesmanship. He is consistent. As an author, how many leftist books actually sell? Generally, the Right is where the readers are. As for Dilbert, he is an institution. Newspapers know this, even the hard left ones.

Put differently, there was an argument that Trump never got a majority of actual R primary voters. But when you added in the votes for the other anti-GOPe candidates it was well over 60%. I don't see this changing.
Posted by: Ignoramus at October 27, 2016 02:54 PM (r1fLd)
Yeah, that argument was hilarious:
(1) "Trump didn't get a majority."
(2) "No one did."
(1) "If you add them all together it is a majority NeverTrump."
(2) "If you add them altogether it is a majority NeverCruz (or NeverRubio, NeverJeb, NeverWhomever). Funny the way that works out."
(1) "Trump did not get a majority."
(2) "He got more than any other single candidate."
(1) *pause* "Trump did not get a majority."

The directive has raised red flags on Capitol Hill, where some lawmakers are concerned that Cuba will pass along critical U.S. intelligence to the Iranians, who have made moves in recent years to extend their influence in the communist country and other Latin American countries hostile to the United States.

I HATED Civ V. Absolutely hated it. It felt to me like they were absolutely forcing everything into a diplomat play style and I don't mind that being an option but I don't want a default choice made for me. Yes, yes, Stack O'Doom was annoying but only one unit per tile is more so.
I've watched some streams of Civ VI and it looks beautiful but at least online multiplayer seems buggy as all hell.

Let's face it, there are a lot of Zoe Quinns and Anita Sarkeesians in Never Trump. They did the same thing with this election that those two did with gamers:
Step 1: Attack a group of people (Stupid Trumpkins! He's conning you!)
Step 2: That group responds in kind (Bite us, cucks.)
Step 3: Claim that response is "harassment"
Step 4: Use anonymous Internet nobodies (who as we learned in the #GamerGate fiasco are usually false flag bots and sock puppets) to paint your opponents as evil stupid wrongthinking hate machines.
Step 5: Justify original attacks with Step 4

I see the latest AP poll or random adults has a D+11 sample in it and gives hillary a 14 point lead over trump
I'm curious if the news guys and pollsters believe these polls, or if they know its just a turnout suppression effort? What I mean is, do they really think Trump is losing by 10+ points? Because they're in for a pretty big shock in November if so. I think Hillary still wins, but its going to be a squeaker.

#9 It is disheartening. Like, Ace, I'm not really a

Posted by: moviegique at October 27, 2016 02:13 PM (7zeA4)
I like this - I like it a lot. I think we need a new party - the Jeffersonian Party. Here's an excerpt of the article I've linked below.
=======================
The Declaration of Independence, a document upon which numerous
governments and institutions throughout the world, including the United
Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights, are based, was
approved by Congress on July 4, 1776. The words Jefferson penned are as
radical as they come. In the brief preamble alone, Jefferson
introduces the idea that God, not the government, is the source of
rights, that all people are created equal and possess inalienable
rights, while establishing the authority of the citizenry to use
whatever means necessary, including force, to throw off a despotic
government, or a government that no longer serves the needs of the
people. As Jefferson stated, the government receives its power from the
"consent of the governed" and the people have the right to "alter or
abolish" a government that becomes destructive, instituting a new
government and laying out new principles that better protect the
"Safety and Happiness" of the people.
One revolution was not enough for Jefferson, however. In a later
letter to James Madison, Jefferson stated, "A little rebellion, now and
then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as in
the physical...it is a medicine necessary for the sound health of the
government." In fact, Jefferson was so convinced of the value of
frequent, publicly-driven rebellions that he advocated for a new
rebellion approximately every twenty years. In a 1787 letter to William
Smith, John Adams' secretary and son-in-law, Jefferson wrote: "[G]od
forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion . . . the
tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots tyrants. It is its natural manure."
To suggest that American citizens turn to violence and bloodshed to
ensure their liberty was, and still is, a radical idea. Although
Jefferson was not an advocate of unnecessary violence, he was so firmly
entrenched in his beliefs in the pursuit of liberty and its guarantee
that he encouraged whatever means necessary to be used to secure it. As
Jefferson wrote, "what country can preserve its liberties, if the
rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the
spirit of resistance? Let them take to arms."
In fact, Jefferson advocated the right of all citizens to carry arms
in order to protect themselves against the tyranny of the government
and the infringement of their liberties by fellow citizens. Writing to
his nephew, Peter Carr, in 1785, Jefferson stated, "As to the species
of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to
the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the
mind...Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your
walks."

It's the lesser of two evils & I was never on Trump Train, I wanted Ted Cruz. I know most think he's an opportunist, but he believes in The Constitution & is conservative. Cruz has to smooth his personality & I think he will be contender in 2020, if we live through Hillary as POTUS.

No but he defended them. IIRC he was in the Dem infrastructure there, but kept going on Twitter with wild - I mean wacko - accusations like "Walker will sell the Packers!" and crap like that. He got so drunk one night I think he crashed into a tree after a Twitter tirade. They made him resign. He was always swearing at Walker and then in the next breath he would call on the Blessed Mother to make Walker croak. Stuff like that.

"I HATED Civ V. Absolutely hated it."
Me too. It felt like they decided Civ Revolutions for consoles, where you could finish a game in like two hours, was the future; basically, catering to filthy casuals.
I played Civilization I, from 1990. I played Civ 2, Civ 3, Civ 4, Colonization, Alpha Centauri, and even Call to Power.
I friggin' *loathed* Civ 5. It was simple, unbalanced, and insultingly easy. AI was awful. Apparently they worked on that, and then introduced more complexity later, but only if you bought the expansions?
F that. I still play Civ IV, using the Realism Invictus mod.

Attorney General of Texas issues arrest warrant for Clinton campaign officials in light of recent voting machine irregularities. Officials with the AG office, on condition of anonymity, said there was sufficient evidence against the campaign to indicate that ballot tampering was widespread and well organized.
AG's from several other states where electronic voting machines are in use are said to be monitoring Texas' legal initiatives against the Clinton campaign and unnamed 'persons of interest' involved in supplying and maintaining the machines.
Arrests are said to be imminent.

425 You idiots, it means nothing if GOP is doing better compared to 2012 early vote numbers if Dems are improving their numbers by more, lol. "
Uh, why would they be improving? Because the charisma of Granny Canklepants is sooo overwhelming, drawing in new voters, bringing blacks to the polls in legion?
It could be that they're improving because well, a lot of people have died since 2012.

My wife thinks Trump is an ass and crude. She is standing in line to vote right now in a line of 150 people in Denton County, Texas, which is heavily Republican. The line goes out of the building, around to the parking lot, and people are still getting out of cars to get in line at 2:50 in the afternoon. She is voting for TRUMP. How many women are there like her in this state? Guess we will find out.

Yeah, that argument was hilarious:
(1) "Trump didn't get a majority."
(2) "No one did."
(1) "If you add them all together it is a majority NeverTrump."
(2) "If you add them altogether it is a majority NeverCruz (or NeverRubio, NeverJeb, NeverWhomever). Funny the way that works out."
(1) "Trump did not get a majority."
(2) "He got more than any other single candidate."
(1) *pause* "Trump did not get a majority."
And on and on.Posted by: *Mikey NTH - Purchase a Self-Denouncement Kit from the Outrage Outlet! at October 27, 2016 03:24 PM (hLRSq)
You're being disenguous. The argument, that Trump never had a50+%of the primary vote,which is what most people think when they think 'majority', is true.
It's also irrelevent to the outcome. Besides, the primaries started out with what? 14 candidates? 16? A ridiculous number of candidates were cluttering the stage, with most of them running out of pure vanity or to sell books or whatever.
If Jeb Bush had somehow caught on (God knows how), the same argument could've been made against him but it would be just as fallacious.

Three things (other than the stumble). Look at how CAREFULLY she takes every step. She knows she's under scrutiny, and she's terrified of being filmed doing another faceplant.
Also, check out how the staff get all set up for the Frau to do the stair walk. It's almost military in it's precision, minimizing the time she spends in danger of public humiliation.
And lastly, to her credit, she doesn't have nearly as many problems with the umbrella as Chocolate Fonzie had.

Carol --
I'm convinced that "Cruz is an opportunist" cry is because, like Trump, Cruz threatened the livelihood of the uniclass.
I would've loved to see him win. I would've voted for him. But I think he, and truly ANY non-Trump candidate, would've been absolute toast by now. Unlike the #NeverTrump camp, I don't think Trump is the candidate who can lose to Clinton. I mean, he may well lose--but if it were Walker or Perry (e.g.) the media would have them (literally) eating babies. Cruz would (obviously) be the head of the American Taliban. Rubio's pathological thirst would be indication of his alien (space alien, not Cuban) origins, etc.
Sounds dumb but never forget: Romney gave that woman cancer. Cheney caused Katrina. Reagan is to blame for AIDS.
The only non-Dem who can win in this brave new world is the one, like Trump, who doesn't respect those who are attacking him.

If Scott Adams endorses Trump then he must also support the sexual assault of women, at least that is what the MSM is working hard to get you to believe, including Megyn Kelly.
The end justifies the means, no holds barred. Anything goes, with no consequences. Ethics are of no concern. Whatever it takes to "win" - destroy all who get in the way. Repeat lies continually and loudly from many angles until people no longer have an opinion, but instead, have those opinions turned into deep beliefs. Beliefs are much harder to change. Much easier to control people if they are stuck in their beliefs and never question them.
It is Orwellian and it has been going on with the MSM for decades.
Remember the faked documents Dan Rather created to attack Bush? It was a expert in the field, a Democrat from CA, who originally called BS on it - not because he liked Bush (he didn't) but because it was BS and he didn't like BS. The MSM went after him and then after any blogger who talked about the faked documents. There were even efforts to essentially make blogging illegal to stop the flow of information (the information they didn't want people to hear anyway) and lots of discrediting (bloggers are just idiots at home in their pj's).
Control of information is powerful. The current way the MSM takes control is by doing a Denial of Service attack on people's ears and eyes - constant bombardment over and over and over from many directions until you can't think of anything else and shut down.

What is starting to get on my nerves this election is the sanctimonious "I just can't lower myself to vote for Trump". I will admit to voting third party in the past, heck I am a true independent who has often voted based on resume, personal factors, and prior work history. Times have changed folks. Look around. I used to be able to find at least one decent person to vote for even if it was for a school board position. Honestly, both nationally and locally what I see is unmitigated CRAP. Every single solitary complaint about Trump can be said about Hillary. Gary Johnson is a freaking joke (and I lean libertarian), and although well meaning Jill Stein is clueless. Locally I have an uncontested democrat for Senate, and my congressional district is has the standard puppets of both parties. Principles are great when the scales are tipped in favor of law and order, rule of law, and constitutional governance. Unfortunately this election is similar to the choice Miklós Horthy had as he ruled Hungary and witnessed the rise of Hitler. Make nicey-nice with Hitler and save as many people for as long as possible or be principled and be invaded like Poland. We are now in that position. We have no co-equal branches of government. The Republicans are NOT a check on the lawlessness of the democrats and the courts are no better. This is what either Hillary or Trump will get. Knowing these facts is it more principled to allow a criminal who has openly engaged in government corruption to have the reigns of power? A leader who allowed 4 government employees to die to cover up her corruption? Or is it more principled to go with the uncouth loudmouth liberal who may save some of your fellow countrymen? Who everybody hates and at best will be a lame duck from day one?

My immediate distant family has voted Conservative since as far back as I can recall. The only outlier is an aunt who went on for a masters degree at a top school and considers the rest of us rubes. Our Clan has argued, debated and voted lockstep since Reagan 12, and both Bushes, my parents before that. Our "fights" were limited to goofy primary exchanges but once the candidate was in, we went all bumper stickers and signs arm in arm.
The last eight years has changed that dynamic. My parents are now into their late 70's (my 4 sibs and I in our 50's) and rightly fear America is headed swiftly to destruction. They see gone the wonderful years they spent here as immigrants from Italy and Scotland expecting their grandkids would have the same love for the US. But they've been forced to sell the cabin, the family business went under, and they're inundated (we all are) with more and more disgusting displays of new liberalism/progressivism taking over every institution whether public or private.
How the hell do you expect those of us out here to respond to this - with calm and well-thought debate? We've tried that to death, Ace. Perhaps you are too young to know what it's been like to lose something you never had and just expect everyone to have your sense of unending wit and clear thought on everything political.
My family has now devolved into camps - we're all fighting for Trump but for different reasons. "Trump stands for the worst but he's all we've got to save us from ruin." How in the hell do you expect most people to process that sh-tty choice? With quiet aplomb and kindly wise words? No, we're fu--king fighting mad and it's coming thru in text. It's been sickening and ugly between us to say the least but I don't blame a single one of them.
How about venting your anger at what brought us to this point rather than backhanded comments at those of us who support true Conservatives but are struggling to do so. Maybe you're just too smart for the rest of us.

I'm curious about the followup to that endorsement. Scott Adams gives Trump a 98% chance of being elected, just weeks after saying Hillary will likely win because of 'octopus' attacks. He says something changed, but says nothing more. What happened in between to make him so confident of Trump's victory?

Ace, youre exactly right with all of this. I was for Trump from the beginning, basically because of his immigration stance. However, if he did not get the nomination, I wouldve 'held my nose' again...and voted for whoever it was that was against HRC. Just like I did in '92, '96,2000, '04,'08,'12....I did not like all of those candidates, obviously, but....they were a million times better than whatever the Dem party threw out. The GOP has failed as a Party. Period. Same with most of the supposed 'Conservative' intelligentsia. At least with the Commies, you know what youre getting. And they generally dont do circular firing squads, usually. The GOP has lied to us about what they supposedly stand for, for decades now. I cannot wait to change my party affiliation on 9/9, no matter who wins. I'm done with them.

The GOP would be an opposition party, but for one thing--since Obama (and before, but especially since) they've been absolutely terrified of Media criticism. You can tell they just start shivering when it looks like they might get Stern Looks.
Simultaneously, they really love the Media and they see them as the best possible constituency to have.

"Incidentally, the NeverTrump crowd never fails to insult me by subtweet..."
LOL, maybe it's because you are so thin skinned: "You are blocked from following @AceofSpadesHQ and viewing @AceofSpadesHQ's Tweets."

Great post. I was a never-Trumper. However, the blatant corruption of the FBI, DoS, and the magnitude of the corruption of the State Department regarding the Clinton Foundation changed my mind. I am also voting for Trump to push back against the pathetic bias of the media and the bullying of the SJWs both left and right. Screw 'em.

I knew nothing about the attack on Bone because I have blocked all anti-Trump news sources from my feed. Funny how that works.
