I love Scott Adams. His book Loserthink and his podcast have been mostly helpful keeping me sane during the lockdowns and mostly peaceful riots.
However, he's not a conservative. He seems much more interested in whether an argument is persuasive than whether it actually makes any sense. So he often acts as though simply presenting a persuasive argument to someone like Jake Tapper or Tim Pool, you can get them to agree with your policy recommendations. Then when they use their usual persuasion technique of calling everyone a racist or liar, he blocks them.
If I were to guess, I would think that the big red pill is something that conservatives already know to be true, and that liberals don't care whether it is true or not.
Bombshell: Government is too big, involved in everything! KABOOM! Why doesn't Trump listen to people like Bongino and a bunch of conservative retired special ops guys instead? /sigh

To be frank, making an argument persuasive is the most important factor in winning a debate. Your argument doesn't have to make sense, and in fact doesn't even have to be right, for you to win as long as you can persuade everyone listening.

That's called sophistry. That's part of what lead to the fall of Rome. Sophistry only works on the overly emotional and stupid.
