Again and again, Erick Erickson wants to make the two political parties morally equivalent. Indeed, here he’s both explicit and ridiculous:
I can think of only one kill switch.
The old man on the right must stop trying to get back into the office. And the old man on the left must pardon the old man on the right and bring all pressure to bear on the two state prosecutors, both of whom are Democrats, to stop their prosecutions too.
Both sides must leave these two self-absorbed, petty, and thin-skinned octagenarians on the ash heap of history and move on.
But that is not going to happen. Joe Biden will not pardon Trump. Trump will not disappear into the good night.
It’s odd to see President Biden characterized as petty when I cannot say I’ve seen any actions I’d characterize as petty from him, although his obvious chuckling over the contretemps of Speaker McCarthy (R-CA) could be argued to be close to that.
But for Biden to pardon Trump is a spicy bit of madness, for, by doing so, Biden would be condoning all attempted coups. That is the result, in a nutshell. Additionally, it’d lay waste too All are equal before the law.
And it’s a pity, as he made some good – and bad – points concerning American society these days. And some of them are simply unbelievable: insurrectionists chanting Hang Mike Pence! is not shocking to conservatives? What’s wrong with them?
But, in the end, this was another attempt to make the two parties seem equivalent, rather than one being a pack of fourth-raters, while the Democrats are really more like second-raters.
