I still think this is important. It cuts to the core as to what kind of nation we want to be. Today's hearings are a direct result of one man, the former guy, and a party who were more interested in keeping power, than peaceful transfer of power.
(Bold mine)
It’s important that the hearings are happening, it’s less important that they be watched.
And what’s with this ‘former guy’ stuff?

What? The Holocaust happened long before either of us were born. But it should still be in history books and taught every day as a lesson as what not to do to your fellow human beings. January 6th was a glaring attempt by the former guy to consolidate power. More to the point, it was more about him trying to avoid legal trouble, and is why the asshole ran in the first place. He didn't care about winning, he cared about keeping himself out of legal trouble.
And he is the "former guy". He no longer holds that office. He is a fucking pile of shit, and a bully, and I will not address him as having the official title of that office.
