Pro-Trump 'Dilbert' Creator Dragged For Failed Prediction That 'Republicans Will Be Hunted' If Biden Won

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.

We're just shy of halfway through Biden's first year as President. There have been no reports of Republicans being hunted and/or killed.

Instead, as RawStory pointed out, Biden has made a clear effort to work with people from across the aisle to hammer out solutions for vaccination rates, infrastructure policy, and economic relief.

The absurdity of Adams' incorrect prediction was not lost on Twitter users who saw his post from last year.










Of course, there is still time for Adams' tweet to come true.

But with absolutely zero signs of Democrat-lead Republican roundups, hunts and killings thus far, that feels rather unlikely.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
