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.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
