New RW tack: There's no point to the November election since people won't believe the results

Tweet from Dilbert creator Scott Adams below -- and the senior editor of Breitbart (Joel Pollak) retweeted it, showing they're going to push this.







The odd thing about this upcoming election is that there's no real point in holding it since the public won't believe the outcome no matter which way it goes. It is not hyperbole to say we would be better served by a coin flip, so long as both sides agreed to it.



Of course they don't want a coin flip. They'd be happy if there was never another presidential election.

just as they do elections.

Maya Angelou was right, when people show you who they are, believe them.

Scott Adams, Dilbert creator, is right wing trumper.

He seemed able to nail the lunacy in cubicle land. Once he lost his edge I wondered what happened then realized he’d retired rich and was now playing for the other side.

He's admitting that Donnie is getting so far behind that it's easier to rig a coin toss than the election even though they're really good at rigging elections.

And you motherfuckers killed it.

Not us. You. You and the ratfucking, bullshitting lying-ass liars and FASCISTS who simply want to replace WE THE PEOPLE with YOU THE PEOPLE.

This may well be our Last Stand for Democracy.
