Isn't he a Trump supporter, or right of center?
On edit: He predicted Trump will win again just now.

From Wikipedia
In 2015, although Adams stated that he would not endorse a candidate for the 2016 elections, he repeatedly praised Donald Trump's persuasion skills, especially on his blog,[42][43] extensively detailing what he called Trump's "talent stack",[44] the then-candidate's unusual skill set combination. Adams predicted that Trump would win the Republican nomination and the general election.[45]
Of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, he said the following: "If you're an undecided voter, and male, you're seeing something different. You're seeing a celebration that your role in society is permanently diminished. And it's happening in an impressive venue that was, in all likelihood, designed and built mostly by men."[46] Adams said that he temporarily endorsed Hillary Clinton out of fear for his own life, stating that he had received direct and indirect death threats ("Where I live, in California, it is not safe to be seen as supportive of anything Trump says or does. So I fixed that." In late September, however, Adams switched his endorsement from Clinton to Trump. Among his primary reasons for the switch were his respect for Trump's persuasion skills over Clinton's, Clinton's proposal to raise the inheritance tax, and his concerns over Clinton's health.[48] Adams states that being labelled a 'Donald Trump apologist' ended his public speaking career and reduced his income by about 40%.[47]
On July 1, 2020, Adams predicted that Republicans would be hunted if Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.

Well, he's only right about Trump's persuasive power on his own tribal base. He's so damn wrong about the reason Trump won in 2016. It was a combo of targeted Russian propaganda and, sadly, an ingrained misogyny in many low info voters. Yes, I'm still afraid of the closeness of the race this time, but there's a huge level of democratic enthusiasm this time around. Hope to god it's a blue tsunami.

(1,261 posts)Trump 'won' but due to several external factors and even then only squeaked by. I was surprised Ari Melber didn't point any of that out.

(904 posts)2016 was just enough to win. Not a landslide like Dilweed was proud of "predicting".

It's like if we found out Colbert really voted straight GOP.
Well, maybe not. I guess Adams just hates everyone.

(4 posts)Scott Adams said, in addition to being a cartoonist, he is also a hypnotist. What?!?
Did anyone notice that Rachel Maddow joked with Chris Hayes about what was newsworthy and that some news did not deserve airtime? Seemed aimed at Melber - and for good reason.
