A fish has no idea it is wet. A sentient fish would have no idea it is wet. From conception, a fish is surrounded by water. It has no concept of wet.
I have lost my patience and been fairly irascible of late with people who I have realized do not know they are wet. When all you consume is the media that tells you what you want to hear and all your friends believe the same thing you believe, what is true does not matter. What you believe is true is all that matters.
The other night, an acquaintance was bothered that I was not bothered about Dominion Voting Systems operating its election servers in Germany. I told him they don’t. But he fully believed and was convinced they did have servers there because the President’s lawyers had said so and it had been echoed across conservative media.
It just isn’t true and he really had no idea.
Many friends of mine have been outraged about my views on this election, the lack of good evidence of theft, etc. They cannot understand how a guy who stayed in his basement and generated no crowds could have gotten over 81 million votes for the presidency. What they don’t understand is how many Americans were exhausted by or simply did not like Donald Trump.
It is easier for them to believe the election was stolen than that Biden really won because all the media they consume and their circle of friends believe the same thing.
And now the Texas lawsuit has been dismissed by the Supreme Court. The President’s own three appointees to the Supreme Court rejected the suit. Even Justices Alito and Thomas were cold to it and only thought the Supreme Court was obligated to hear a case of original jurisdiction. But even they wanted to decline to give Texas any of the remedies Texas sought.
Nine Justices rejected the remedies Texas sought and a bunch of conservative congressmen, attorneys general, and talking heads assured conservatives the case had merit and the Supreme Court would take it.
It never had merit. It was obvious the Court would reject it. However, a bunch of conservative media chose to give it legitimacy.
I am truly disappointed with my own side for the hucksterism, lies, and denial of reality. Too many friends have no knowledge they are wet. They cannot appreciate the real world around them and live now in a fantasy land of grievance, theft of elections, and mythology. Principles have been abandoned and all that remains is coveting power and keeping power.
Some good friends have even signed a letter wanting multiple states to ignore their voters and appoint replace electors to the Electoral College. It is disappointing to see.
I just assumed my side was better than the left, which has spent four years lying about 2016, engaged in petty grievances, and screaming about stolen elections and Russia. Turns out, in the end, everybody sometimes disappoints. Lord knows a lot of you are disappointed in me for merely trying to tell you the truth.
I appreciate your honesty and look forward to your show everyday. I also support our Georgia Governor & Secretary of State.
I enjoy your truth Erick. What I’m disappointed in is your calmness towards social media and the main stream media who is complicit in helping the Biden Harris ticket win the 2020 election. Even the beloved WSB radio didn’t report on Joe Biden and his families misdeeds. The evidence is overwhelming that Joe Biden’s son received money from Ukraine and China. He was rewarded while his Dad was point man over those two countries. Don’t tell us that nothing was illegal. You know as well as I do that doesn’t pass the eye test. Had the Trump family even accepted a box of cookies the media would have called foul. Explain to you audience why Joe Biden can demand the lead prosecutor looking into Burisma be fired? That was blackmail. Fire the prosecutor or your not getting the money is blackmail Erick. The left wing media gives Joe Biden a pass and yet you get mad at your own. You know what? Trump supporters have earned the right to promote that voter fraud happened and piss off liberals. We were lied to and criticized for supporting a man they hated so they made up stories and tried to get him for anything. Even calling him a racist when Joe Biden has a more racist past than Trump ever thought about having. What did democrats do to Justice Kavanaugh? They lied about and tried to destroy an innocent man. Erick Erickson your memory seems to have forgotten what Democrats have done to people. They are evil demons. Justice Kavanaugh had every right to take out his vengeance on the left by working to help President Trump b/c Trump fought for him. I don’t know why they didn’t take the PA. case? The laws in America are too complicated and that’s why the common man doesn’t trust lawyers and our legislators. It’s obvious that Kavanaugh either isn’t very thankful of the President, the law somehow doesn’t say anything against changing voting rules just before the election, or they don’t want to see the lefts militants destroy cities any more than they already have. Would you at least admit that the President was mistreated by democrats and the media his whole presidency? Will you admit that social media giants FB and Twitter has a double standard for liberals and conservatives and withheld credibility news that was hurtful to former VP Biden in order to help him win the Presidency? Did the main stream media outlets help Joe Biden win the 2020 election by not reporting on credible news that would be hurtful to the Biden camp in order to promote the Manchurian candidate?
It’s easy for many level headed conservatives to see this Erick. I now expect that Joe Biden will be somehow removed from office due to these money issues he and Hunter are involved with. The democrats will get the candidate they really wanted Kamala Harris as President. It is a drawn up plan. Pelosi has already been planning it since most know Joe’s cognitive skills are dwindling. This is all because the major media outlets and social media basically cheated the American people out of the truth in the run up to the 2020 national presidential election.
