> Praising charlatans like Scott Adams, and worse, failing to recognize their lack of ability and their motives is another cultural issue.

I'm confused by this part. What does Scott Adams have to do with what you just wrote and how is he (in this context) a charlatan?

Yeah, I don't get it. Scott Adams draws comics lampooning office politics. He's not actually an office worker, just a comedian.

Adams has recently come out as a Trump supporter. Maybe that's it? He's still a strange choice of target, since he's not (as far as I know) one of the crazies screaming about "cucks" or Benghazi or whatever.

Personally I've found his blog to be pretty helpful for understanding the Trump phenomenon better. http://blog.dilbert.com/

Wasn't he an office drone before drawing Dilbert?

He was. His experience being a drone is where he drew his inspiration for Dilbert from.
