Congratulations, Scott Adams... You just learned how to cancel yourself, and your comic strip, completely...

This is a doozy...

Scott Adams, the conservative (soon-to-be former) author of the Dilbert comic strip, has just gotten himself and his comic strip cancelled.

The number of newspapers removing his strip from their comics pages is growing by the minute.  I mean no snark nor exaggeration in stating 3-5 more could do this as I type Saturday afternoon.

Needless to say, Adams is not afraid to "go there".  Several years ago, as a function of the death of his son, he basically told parents to basically give up trying to actually find help for their children if they are violent -- that society has no interest in actually helping them.

This leaves parents with two options, Adams asserts:  Either watch other people die at your child's hand, or kill the kid in service to society before he or she does.  (Adams says he is very fortunate that the only one to die from that type of situation with his violent son was, in fact, his son.)

Also, in an attempt to get Donald Trump re-elected, he openly espoused that Republicans would be actively "hunted" if Joe Biden won.

And then he shows why he probably should be correct.

He has really stepped in it now in a late-week screed to his online YouTube series, declaring African-Americans a hate group, and that Whites need to "get the Hell away from them".

That he has gone full White Supremacist and stated that Blacks, as a race, are to be considered a terrorist hate group.  He even doubled down today and said that one should be racist at whatever point it is to his or her advantage.

I'll be very interested to see the number of newspapers, by Monday, still carrying Dilbert.

We are NOT making it through the summer as a nation, people.  The cracks are now beginning to widen as if an earthquake was hitting the country.  Today, purportedly, White Supremacists were at least spouting off on a "Day of Hate" against (they said) the Jews (but other groups are almost-certainly being targeted as well).
