> How or why Scott Adams went completely of the rails is perhaps something we'll sadly never understand. Was this opinions he'd always had, but suppressed, did he somehow become radicalized or was it perhaps medically induced, e.g. a stroke or something. It was incredibly sad to see him throw away his life's work and go down a path most of us at least hadn't foreseen and die having alienated his fans.

He has plenty of fans right up to the end, it's amazing how people think someone went "off the rails" just because he has a different political opinion.

Saying Republicans were going to be hunted down in the street if Biden won is a little more than just having a different political opinion.

It was prescient given the terrible treatment of Jan 6th protesters by Biden's justice department, including extended pre-trial solitary confinement, a form of torture.

Utter nonsense.

I find it very funny to observe who exactly defends Scott Adams. It's definitely not a random sampling of people, it's literally all people I have marked because of their awful comments.

Sounds like a club I'm happy to be part of.

What is having fans and going of the rails have to do with each other?
