Dear Democrats

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

It is going to be OK. It really will. You'll have the midterms in two years. There'll be another presidential election in four years. Those of you reading this insisting there will be no more elections are no better than the idiots on my side who think 2020 was stolen and that if Kamala Harris had won, there would be no more elections.

The Aftermath

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

On the night of the election, a member of the Trump team called me about an hour after polls had begun to close to tell me they saw signs of a win. A few hours later, a friend close to the Harris team called to tell me senior members of the campaign had begun advising senior Democrats they saw no path forward for Kamala Harris. A few hours ...Read more

Garbage In/Garbage Out

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

On Sunday, a comedian opening the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden made a joke about Puerto Rico being a garbage island. On Monday, that was all the American press corps could talk about. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden declared former President Donald Trump's supporters were garbage, and all the media could talk about on Wednesday was ...Read more

A Bold Miscalculation

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

It is possible that former President Donald Trump has peaked too soon. The momentum in the race feels like it has moved in his direction, and we should never underestimate the Republicans' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. However, it does not really seem so much that Trump is increasing in the polls so much as Vice President ...Read more

Where Are the Big Names?

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

With only about 25 days until this damnably necessary act of democracy descends into recriminations and conversations about 2028, Donald Trump is barnstorming across the nation while Kamala Harris sits for interviews designed to generate turnout from her base.

Where are Barack and Michelle Obama? Does democracy not matter? Where is Hillary ...Read more

Caveat Emptor

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

A few days ago, Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles at Israel. Some of Iran's missiles were hypersonic missiles traveling 10,000 miles an hour. Israel, the United States and other allies were mostly able to stop the missiles. A few days before, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Iran was within weeks of producing enough...Read more

Democrats Support Foreign Interference to Stop Trump

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

For eight years now, Democrats have bemoaned interference in American elections. The national security apparatus of the United States has been warning about influence campaigns. The media has done so as well. Editorials and anchors have decried Russian interference.

They are all strangely silent over the latest foreign interference in our ...Read more

Progressives Lied. A Woman Died. Republicans Were Blamed.

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

Being a progressive means you can lie with impunity and the media will declare you a truth-teller. The other day on CNN, Democrat strategist Elliot Williams defended Democrat claims that Donald Trump is a "threat to democracy" because of Trump's refusal to accept election results. Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams and every Democrat who thinks ...Read more

Dear Mr. Trump

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

I have maintained that, were it held today, you would win the election. Vice President Kamala Harris is just an extension of the deeply unpopular Biden-Harris administration. A majority of Americans do not like you, but they prefer your administration's policies. The electorate is angry and frustrated. An angry and frustrated electorate does ...Read more

Against Progressives

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

Postmodernism is a weird place to be. There is no real truth anymore, only narrative. Each person can have their own truth, and who are we to judge? Exceptions are now the rule; the sky cannot be blue, because some colorblind person does not see it that way, so none of us are allowed to declare it blue. It is oppressive and maddening.

Into ...Read more

Alienating the Base

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

In the real world, no nationwide abortion ban is going to pass Congress, so Donald Trump will never have the opportunity to veto it. As a practical matter, concerns from pro-life activists amount to nothing because nothing is going to happen at the federal level. But for Trump and JD Vance, how they have improvised answers to the concerns of ...Read more

The Jobs Aren't All Right

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

The government, for the past year, has overstated joblessness by 818,000 jobs. That revision comes on top of the monthly revisions already made. It is probably not a conspiracy to help Joe Biden and Kamala Harris look good or they would have waited until after the election, not before early voting, to announce the revision. But it is troubling...Read more
