Cartoon strip Dilbert creator and University of California at Berkeley alum Scott Adams has announced that he is ending his support of his alma mater after the recent riots broke out over a Milo Yiannopoulos speech.
On his blog last Friday, Adams wrote:
I’m ending my support of UC Berkeley, where I got my MBA years ago. I have been a big supporter lately, with both my time and money, but that ends today. I wish them well, but I wouldn’t feel safe or welcome on the campus. A Berkeley professor made that clear to me recently. He seems smart, so I’ll take his word for it.
Adams made it clear he’s not siding with the fascist thugs who descended on the campus to destroy any vestiges of free speech:
I’ve decided to side with the Jewish gay immigrant who has an African-American boyfriend, not the hypnotized zombie-boys in black masks who were clubbing people who hold different points of view. I feel that’s reasonable, but I know many will disagree, and possibly try to club me to death if I walk on campus.
As TruthRevolt reported last year, Adams was a supporter of Hillary Clinton “for my personal safety, because I live in California.”
“It isn’t safe to be a Trump supporter where I live. And it’s bad for business too,” he added.
However, he quickly switched his support to Donald Trump. The short answer, he said, was that Clinton proposes “robbery by government” and Adams wasn't keen on paying 75% taxes on his income.
In the video above, Adams (pre-Trump support) appears on Real Time with Bill Maher and explains the effectiveness of Trump’s persuasion. Adams describes himself as a trained hypnotist and a student of persuasion. He predicted Trump would win during his appearance.
Now, according to his blog post, Adams hopes to help “clear the fog” for progressives who insist on calling President Trump “Hitler” and who are otherwise still aghast that he won:
Yesterday I asked my most liberal, Trump-hating friend if he ever figured out why Republicans have most of the Governorships, a majority in Congress, the White House, and soon the Supreme Court. He said, “There are no easy answers.”
I submit that there are easy answers. But for many Americans, cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias hide those easy answers behind Hitler hallucinations.
I’ll keep working on clearing the fog. Estimated completion date, December 2017. It’s a big job.
