Scott Adams is the author of the famous comic strip Dilbert, and rather famously called the election for Trump rather early, say in July of 2016. His analysis is based on his study of persuasion techniques, which he immediately recognized Trump an expert at.

This rather long post from his blog is as good an explanation of how the Left and Right view various current issues as anything I’ve seen, and is useful in understanding where the Left is coming from. It doesn’t make their views any more acceptable, but it’s useful from a “know thine enemy” standpoint.

If you hear a whistle when no one is blowing, you’ve got tinnitus.

Liberals are quick to accuse other people of being biased but they’re unwilling to acknowledge the fact they’re biased against other people, too.

Unless it’s so obvious that even the casual observer can discern it then you’re the damned rascist for assuming it is offensive and racist. Ironic that those living in their gentrified lily white neighborhoods are the ones most vociferous in their outrage. The first time someone of color approaches them on their street or god forbid, moves in next door, they will sh*t their pants. The liberals are the true racists. Not a comment directed at the poster I responded to, just a general comment on the subject :-)

Trump: libtards loved him, before they hated him.

Look at all the pics of bigtime libs all sh1t-eating smiles and laughs aroud Trump before he took down the white whale (or she took herself down).

Everyone one of us is biased... that’s human nature and liberals don’t consider themselves biased because they assume everyone subscribes to the values of the dominant liberal culture.

And they’re shocked, confused, repelled and angry when they discover people exist who don’t and who reject and that leads them to conclude those people are bigoted.

We really are watching two different movies in America.

Why Democrats Hear a Secret Racist Dog Whistle and Republicans Don’t...Democrats don't hear any "Secret Racist Dog Whistle" - they have no ideas or policies that can match conservative/Republicans in a reasoned, dispassionate discussion, and so use diversionary, specious accusations such as "racism" and attendant accoutrement including "dog whistles" to distract from the real issues and beat the opposition into submission - trying to out-argue them when such phantom crap starts flying is only playing into their hands - argue the issues instead....

I think that’s part of his success. He was around them, at their parties and events for years, and he was the non-drinker in the crowd. He picked up a LOT of useful intelligence.

This was a very clear explanation from Scott. The two movie thesis is one of the best. And is why no one believes anyone anymore.

I have to ask, "if you can't change the movie you are watching because of Adams' blog post--then you are an idiot."

Adams makes the point with a question--which narrative fits future events? If your "movie" fails to explain future events-- you are in the wrong movie.

Re: "Muslim Ban Scene"

Also, the ban list was created by the Obama administration. They determined that it was impossible to get reliable background data on travelers from those countries.

An excellent summary.

Liberals, while claiming to be the most tolerant people on earth, can’t believe that other people have intelligent and well thought out reasons for disagreeing with them.

I make this point frequently when sparring with ‘tards. Most have no response (I’ve skewered them), and the typical retort is that they “know better” now.

My next reply is usually something to the effect that, had he run on the “D” ticket they would all be standing in line to fellate him. That usually gets the homo card in response - not debating the fact that he would have gotten huge support from the left, but rather a deflection.

I think this is well done. I bet the book is good as well. This is so very true. I spend every day behind enemy lines, though the Gullibles I deal with don’t understand anything for real. They just say and believe what the Propaganda asks them to.

Thanks for posting this... Great Read!! He is exactly right.

I made a simple comment on a news channel 3 article (local Phoenix news station) that had my congress critter saying this is America and we don’t separate children from families... I said excuse me but we take American kids away from American parents every day when they commit crimes and go off to jail... so don’t even go there. Well it also posted on Facebook and immediately generated a big discussion on F/B today with a raging lib and after destroying him point by point, this will make a nice nightcap to pass along to him to keep him fuming all night.
