Great news, but get this…

His time away from Twitter exposed what looks like an automated attack from pro-Trump accounts:

Get well soon, Erick. Something tells us the hate will only get worse once the bot account discover you were hospitalized.

    Trump supporters have no soul. So it may be hard to tell which twitter accounts are fake and which are real.

    Can you imagine life under a Trump regime? Hitler’s brown shirts caused death and destruction through physical violence. Trump’s brown shirts will take to social media to destroy anyone who doesn’t conform to the regime.

    God bless Mr. Erickson and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
