Not only is it not better, it was an order of magnitude worse. Holy crap.

I never “got” the appeal of Dilbert, maybe 'cuz I’ve never worked in a cubicle workspace? I read it a few times like you’d read an ethnography of “people sorta me but different”, like those Deadheads who followed the band from city to city for years, or surfing culture, or white collar criminals in the US, etc.
Anyway, I was aware of who he was and I guess I had a “comic artists are probably good people” working (unwarranted) assumption.Then, with Dump’s rise around 2015, I read something this a-hole wrote about why Dump was great: he hypnotizes people really well. He gets people to go for him, which is AWESOME.
I thought, what am I missing here? THAT’s a good reason to vote for someone? Then, when Adams was outed an all-around dipshit, it all made sense. Now? good fucking riddance, a-wipe.
Next!

Oh my god, how does one do the “needs more likes” thing? ‘Cause this needs more likes.

It looks like he went MRA first, before anything else
After that he got away with being openly sexist for so long it lulled him into a false sense of security about being openly racist later 
… oh there we go, he’s explicitly saying he should get a pass on the racism because sexism was OK

You’re confused. It was never funny.
I am familiar with Tom Tomorrow, but have not seen this parody. It pretty much sums up late 90s/early 2,000s IT for me. A lot of people from my era of IT were willing to just squander their talents in low-paying, high pressure companies because the management fluffed up their egos and playing divide and conquer with the so-called rank-and-file pencil-pushers of the company.
You can’t create solidarity with your coworkers, you have to look at them with the same contempt that your management looks at you. After all, you’re better than all of those people. It is trap that let the dot com bubble create a few millionaires and kept you and your coworkers underperforming.
If only you created a pandering comic strip that appealed to those same smug jerks, you’d have it made.
Scott Adams’ entire political trajectory tracks with the tone of his comics.

Not much new, just “Hundreds of newspapers” sounds good.

Oh. I did not know that. So we can’t use this one anymore and need a new “Oh no! Anyway…” gif from a not a jerk?

Not a requirement but good if you choose to! At least then there is the one consequence of no longer being a popular meme (on the boingboing bbs at least).
The number of times that I have to figure out who someone is and if I know they are shit heads or not before using a meme is ridiculous! I just swapped a Sam Elliot “Both” out in another thread because I remembered that I don’t trust his apology about his homophobic comments (plus it breaks my heart…I thought he was one of the good ones!)
And if the hover text mentions eSports, well, that’s an automatic no go - those people can flip on you at any moment

Well, the royalties JC gets from that gif add up. $0.00 x eleventy million…carry the zero…nope, still zero.
So I think it’d be OK to use it as long as he’s not seeing any benefit from it.

I was done with this guy when Pharyngula pointed out (I think he was one of the first) that Adams was arguing for creationism. WTAF. I liked his stuff way back in the 90s; even bought some books back then before anyone knew he was such a jagoff. Creationism, really? And it appeared he had a rather rabid fan base that leapt to his defense, exhibiting a very cult-like level of delusion.
Then more than a decade goes by, and Sam Harris had some interview w/ him where he’s trying to get to the bottom of why Adams admires Trump. Something, something, Adams likes magic (and the PUA scene, too, I honestly forget - this interview was only surpassed by the Jordan Peterson interview in absurdity in my view) and somehow ties that to Donald being able to fool people, I think? I’m not sure Harris or any of audience followed Adams’ supposed line of thinking, either. It was no more coherent than his most recent outburst, believe me.
