Dilbert Creator: I'm Endorsing Hillary (For My Personal Safety)

Christine Rousselle  Posted: Jun 06, 2016 7:46 AM

"Dilbert" creator Scott Adams "endorsed" Hillary Clinton for president in a post on his blog Sunday, with a rather interesting caveat: He's only doing this because he fears endorsing Donald Trump could get him killed.

In Adams' view, the practice of equating Trump with Hitler is giving people a "moral permission" to assassinate him or anyone who supports his views. He also feels as though Clinton supporters are far more violent towards Trump supporters than Trump supporters are of Clinton fans. Thus, to save his own skin, he's going to publicly "endorse" Clinton.

Quote
And I would be a top-ten assassination target in that scenario because once you define Trump as Hitler, you also give citizens moral permission to kill him. And obviously it would be okay to kill anyone who actively supports a genocidal dictator, including anyone who wrote about his persuasion skills in positive terms. (I’m called an “apologist” on Twitter, or sometimes just Joseph Goebbels).

If Clinton successfully pairs Trump with Hitler in your mind – as she is doing – and loses anyway, about a quarter of the country will think it is morally justified to assassinate their own leader. I too would feel that way if an actual Hitler came to power in this country. I would join the resistance and try to take out the Hitler-like leader. You should do the same. No one wants an actual President Hitler.

So I’ve decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for President, for my personal safety. Trump supporters don’t have any bad feelings about patriotic Americans such as myself, so I’ll be safe from that crowd. But 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. So I’m taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

Not a single sanders or hitlery supporter prepares to go to a rally with a plan to handle physical attacks by violent protesters.

Violence to ensure theirs is the only vice heard is uniquely liberal.  Because the one place they cannot win is the marketplace of ideas.

This may change when the berners take on the hitleries at the democratic convention.  THAT will be popcorn city!

Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
