One of many reasons Scott Adams is unique is because he doesn't believe facts, reasons, and policies make a difference in who we select to be our leaders! While there is no doubt that there is truth to that way of thinking, I find it irritating. The reason I spend so much time reading is I like to analyze facts, reasons, and policies! Scott lives in the persuasion realm, where people associate things irrationally. So if you can associate somebody with some bad character, you win. You pair things and then they take on the qualities of the other!
Scott thinks the anti-Trump media has made a huge mistake in quoting Jimmy Carter, a 95-year-old who is famous for being the worst president in modern history. Carter said Trump was elected because of Russian collusion. Who else is old and who else are people having doubts about his credibility? That's right, Joe Biden! Will people associate Biden with Carter? Not good for Biden!
When Scott learned hypnosis, he learned that people reveal their intentions by their choice of words. Biden says he is in the 2020 race because the USA is at a turning point. Biden said in an interview, "It doesn't mean I'm going to win. I hope I can make a contribution." Scott hears capitulation! People who haven't given up yet don't talk like that.
Scott says that the Democrats have become the hoax party. The Russia collusion hoax, the "fine people" hoax of Charlottesville, and Kamala Harris's assertion that Joe Biden praised segregationists. Then there is the climate change prediction models hoax, which Scott does not yet call a hoax, but many of the rest of us think it is!
Scott follows Bill Polte on Twitter. Polte is interested in cleaning up areas that are blighted.
President Trump is getting criticized for inviting Kim Jon Un to meet him somewhere such as at the DMZ while Trump is in the neighborhood. Scott believes Trump is setting a standard of warmth that future presidents will struggle to imitate. First Kim and Trump need to sell each other on a plan. The deal is the relationship! Second, they each need to sell their own nations. Trump has established productive relationships with Russia, China, and North Korea! Who else has done that?
Trump has also required drug companies to list their prices. What other president is this strong, brave, or determined?
Do you think President Trump could maintain friendly relations with Putin but then stab him in the back if Putin tried to do something that would hurt America? Scott says, "You know he could!" Trump also expressed dismay that we trade so little with Russia. Don't you feel safer about China, knowing that we have so much trade with them?
One way to turn an acquaintance into a friend is to share a secret with them. Trump's casual invitation to Kim Jong Un to meet at the DMZ is similar to this concept.
Kamala Harris is not African American. She is Indian-Jamaican-American. One part of her family tree was actually a slave owner.
Scott thinks Andrew Yang is very likeable. Yang said, "running for president makes the world seem like a simulation." Is reality a simulation?
What if we gave a free smartphone and free minutes to every illegal immigrant? The government would put an app on there telling them about employers who are hiring, it would do language translations and actually teach English, someone could list themselves as willing to share their home with illegals, employers can only pay them through the app (so they would have to pay taxes), the government takes some money, and they can be tracked!
