Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don’t Matter

"Scott Adams has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and his associated "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement. He has publicly identified as a MAGA Republican.
Key points regarding his political stance:

Vocal Support: Adams endorsed Donald Trump in the 2016 election and has remained a supporter since, using his blog, social media, and livestream show to promote his views.
Self-Identification: Sources directly refer to him as a "MAGA Republican" or "MAGA scribbler".
Controversial Commentary: His political commentary often aligns with right-wing viewpoints and has been described by critics as conspiratorial or inflammatory, particularly concerning race and "woke" culture.
Trump's Persuasion: He has often characterized Trump as a "master persuader" and has rationalized or defended many of Trump's controversial statements using this framework.
Personal Connection: He has shared details of a surprise phone call he received from Donald Trump, indicating a personal connection or acknowledgement within the MAGA circle.

His political and social commentary, including racist remarks in 2023 that led to hundreds of newspapers dropping his Dilbert comic strip, are widely seen as part of his outspoken right-wing persona and support for the MAGA movement. "

Until he was supporting John McCain against Obama. I stopped following then. I saw the writing on the wall.

My brother is 'treating' his prostate cancer with Ivermectin right now. I expect he will be dead soon. Some internet doctor made up a bogus regimen like they did during covid pandemic.

if he dies, His Savior will just resurrect him, I'm confident

...was Trump all along.

Heh.

But which came 1st? Did Trump model himself after a comic book creep, or was Dilbert a prophecy of what was to come? There could be copywrite issues.

I feel bad for anyone suffering a catastrophic illness. But he seems to think that he (and probably he alone) deserves the president to intervene for him-- the same president he's supporting for cutting millions off health insurance this month.

and firing the health officials who actually know science.

I developed diverticulitis and practically had to treat myself using the internet. They kept testing me for everything because that's how Kaiser makes its money. I was given an antibiotic for the infection, never got a proper diagnosis, never received a course of treatment, never saw a gastroenterologist. Everything by phone.

It's true that Trump will help him only if it benefits him more, and I don't see that, but I hope he recovers in spite of himself.

My point wasn't about whether he deserves the help.

It's about his appealing to a guy who might make a decision on a coin toss, or if he can remember the last time Adams said something nice about him.

So the post is more about Trump and less about Adams, even though it's Adams' situation.

Maybe if your beloved southern racists haven't since the 1940s made national health a bugaboo while the rest of our peers created better health systems, spending less providing more you wouldn't have been fighting for "approval" for a Doctor prescribed treatment? Thoughts and prayers for a fast resolution to your health issues.

Oh yeah, they can just go off and die.

My wife has cancer and we are on on Medicare and a supplement. No problem getting treatment.

I have Medicare and a good supplement. I racked up just a little over $270,000 in bills for my cancer treatment. My out of pocket was somewhere around $450.

DO NOT let anyone sell you an Advantage policy.

His cartoons aren’t funny and Adams is a horse’s ass and an elitist prig.

I don’t care if he lives or dies. He is irrelevant in every way.

Sadly that is reserved for only two in this country.

...maybe some of "Dr." Kennedy's Patented Whale Juice Tonic?

Of all the presidents, Trump has done the most to end cancer research.

There are rumors that Mike Johnson will be trying to resurrect Trump's failed repeal of ACA of 2017.

It that happens, there will be untold cancer patients in this country that may die, including me.

Although I am in complete remission, I undergo maintenance treatments that cost $1 million dollars a year.

Without ACA, I would have surpassed lifetime limits years ago.

I do not know want anyone to die of cancer.

But people who voted for Trump have put cancer patients' lives at risk.

He will personally approve or deny all medical insurance claims, decide who does and does not get healthcare coverage and when.

goes nowhere for that reason alone.

"I'm the biggest fan ever of Trump" card to Kaiser. MAGAts think they are so special.

"I will ask President (xxx) if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday,"

What does he think Baby Huey is gonna do? Threaten Kaiser into scheduling an appointment for him on Monday? Seriously? What the bloody hell do these idiot people think that creep is?

He's gonna ask him, via X??

"Loser"

-- swipes to next tweet --

He said something in the past few months about us needing a strongman (dictator) in power. Screw him to hell

Explain their premium increases in addition to asking for breakthrough drug trials?

I would like to try a drug trial of MDMA. I need it for my horrible typing.

Can't he just hire a doctor and just pay for the treatment ?

It is Kaiser not an insurance company and a medical provider ? ( I honestly don't know )

Maybe go to some other country where they can give you anything without the FDA getting in the way ?

Maybe contract the pharmaceutical company and just offer to pay for it ? They do like money don't they ?

Yeah, I don't know what his orangeness can actually do, except maybe bomb them as the first military medical intervention ? Maybe that is constitutional ?

Oh, wait, that doesn't matter anymore does it.

My wife has cancer and we are on Medicare with a supplement. We get treatment every time. Buy Kaiser and you get what you paid for.

If you think Trump will help you, you need more help than you think.

the Dictator Detonator, he supports, that wants to Take Health Care and SNAP away from Millions of People.

The Selfishness is OFF the CHARTS! Does SA see the Problem here? Didn't think so.
