Erick Erickson: Biden Could “Annihilate His Opposition” If He Declared That “Breathing And Oxygen Are Good”

Via email from conservative columnist Erick Erickson:



It is a measure of political brokenness, I think, to think January 6, 2021, was a worse day in history for Americans than September 11, 2001. Politically, okay, sure, I understand your point. But as an act of “terrorism?” Really? Donald Trump, bull in the china shop, broke many things, including the brains of many of his opponents. His chief skill was making others become and behave exactly as they claim he is.

Concurrently, on the other side of the aisle, there is a large contingent of people defining themselves as exactly opposite the Democrats. Joe Biden could annihilate a significant portion of his opposition today if he came out and declared that breathing and oxygen are good. A good portion of the new right would hold their breath and die out of the firm conviction that if Joe Biden is for it, they must absolutely, positively be against it.
