Off-topic, but it kind of cracks me up that Scott Adams is now a "pundit". When did that happen? What are the qualifications for punditry, and how did he attain those? Where does the job title of pundit fall within the cartoonist career track?
@Polly Ticks It worked for Garry Trudeau when he felt like punditting, didn't it? ;)
As for Adams' argument, "derangement syndrome" has long enough been a convenient club with which to beat
the heads of someone who demurs from one's chosen temporal saviour. It's just another way to try shutting
down a discourse when the discourse turns to the negatives of said temporal saviour. We saw it with Clinton
supporters battering Clinton critics as suffering "Clinton derangement syndrome," likewise George W. Bush
supporters and "Bush derangement syndrome," likewise Obama supporters with Obama derangement syndrome.
It does precious little other than expose those "diagnosing" the syndrome as truly lacking.
And we have folks in this forum, on all sides of the Donaldus Minimus question, who are way too smart to
fall into or for that trap.
