Erick Erickson self-describes as a conservative and said on his Substack that so-called conservatives are spewing hate for the United States when they call in. I have no idea what his callers are saying, but what he said afterward made me wonder why he’s a Republican at all.
He said they found the “perfect boogeyman in the progressive left,” blamed their ills on Biden, and complained the 2020 election was stolen.
I love my country and my Constitution, so for me, the progressive left led by Biden is evil and is destroying the country. The 2020 election was corrupt.
He complained about Tucker saying prices in the Russian supermarkets were great, and Moscow was immaculate, which malcontents in America use to accentuate the problems of the US.
Erickson agrees that there are problems, such as the shooting in Kansas City. Then he proceeded to complain about the unfortunate death of Mr. Novalny, a victim of an assassination. That is probably the case. They sent him to a prison north of the Arctic Circle. He was, however, trying to fundraise to start a color revolution in Russia. As a freedom fighter, I’m sympathetic to him, but he took on the ruler. Erickson said Russia’s abuses in Ukraine cannot be ignored.
His conclusion: “But these malcontented pseudo-conservatives who parrot Tucker’s talking points have no perspective of history or world events and simply want to complain about the United States in a way that was formerly only done by the left. Just as the Democrats threatened to leave the country with the election of Donald Trump, these malcontented “conservatives” are welcome to do the same. Delta is ready when they are.”
I put this up for discussion purposes and would like to hear peoples’ opinions about this. Personally, I’d like to see Erickson complain about the left as much as he complains about conservatives. It’s good to know how the “conservatives” like Erickson think.
Erickson took over some of Rush’s radio stations, but he’s not Rush.
Another rino. We need fewer of these people, unfortunately the repubs are overrun with people, politicians of his bent. They are actual dems masquerading as repubs. They need to go away.
Erickson is a card-carrying Never-Trumper, and though he does hold some conservative ideas, the poor man is SO deranged by his hatred for Donald that he rarely makes a cohesive, cogent statement anymore. Almost everything he says is tainted and filtered through his bitter perspective. It is a tragedy what hatred can do to an otherwise good, normal person. Knowing this, it’s advisable to take everything Erick says with a BRICK of salt.
He’s always been a whiner.He was one of first to ban Trump…I put him in the RINO/ Salem/ beta male class…
I’m conservative, and I hate what America is becoming.
Erickson is like Romney or Ryan. He has the backbone of Cheney; the chin of Bush; the spine of Obama; the balls of Biden, the brains of Schumer.
Does anyone care what he has to say. He’ll always be found clinging to the weather vane. A man without principles except preemptive surrender.
Erickson said that all the Jan.6ers should have been shot down. This guy is garbage.
Erickson is still searching for his money making niche after he completely fell flat on his face over the conservative revolution led by Trump. He still considers Trump to be a racist and fascist. Of course, he tries to appeal to the corrupt establishment, where most of the money is. He is a willing tool of the corrupt establishment.
Erickson, Mitch, Ryan, Levin, … all insist they are conservative, but when it comes to hard policy, on the big issues, they never are. Only the gullible think they are,
You put that nitwit in the same company as Levin? Really?
Maybe, just maybe some of what the left complained in the past did have merit. Many things have been exposed in the recent past. Far too many in the West are ill-informed of other parts of the globe.
Just as here in the US, so in Russia there are users of all types who stream parts of their lives. From the start of the sanctions there were videos of the effects on available products. Some would also record their trips to different areas, including Moscow, and yes, Moscow is a very clean city, especially the subways. It’s hard for many in the US to understand but the Russian people do have a great deal of pride in their country.
I have to agree with Tucker and Erick. There are many places that surpass the USA – on many fronts. The Us is a collapsing hellhole, and for me that delta flight will not come soon enough. Tucker says he will never leave. I can think of 6 million people who said the same thing 80 years ago. It is one thing to love your country and its sounding principles, it is another to marry it. A wise man marries a Proverbs 31 wife. Not his car. Not his house. Not his job. And not his country
Proverbs 31 is what a husband recites in praise of his wife. It certainly isn’t a ‘duty list‘ for a wife to accomplish, which would make her little more than a slave.
I had previously never heard of Erick Erickson, so it is hard to react to him.
From the above comments it sounds like he is type who divides, rather than unites conservatives.
“He complained about Tucker saying prices in the Russian supermarkets were great, and Moscow was immaculate, which malcontents in America use to accentuate the problems of the US.”
Is Erickson not willing to face that the comparison?
It makes a point.
But as liars use statistics, anarchists will use such a point to create chaos and rebellion so they can offer ‘good conditions’ if we give up our freedoms. The same could be said for woke elitists.
At this time I a not interested in what Erickson seems t offer.
I am thankful for the Independent Sentinel.
