Jan. 6 Committee

[Alan V]

Too many people are far too cynical about this.

Facts matter.  Upholding the Constitution matters.  "Boring" or "political theater" or "useless" all miss the point in my opinion.

The problem is that for a large faction of the population, facts don’t matter, or they can’t tell the difference between a fact and a falsehood. It literally doesn’t matter how much evidence we have on the guy, which, based on what we already know, seems to be a ridiculous amount such that no rational person could deny what Trump tried to do with the 2020 election. But the reality is that it isn’t going to move needle one bit with regard to the voters. When are Dems going to learn that “look how awful Trump is!” is a lousy strategy? It failed them in 2016, and it’s going to fail them again. These hearings aren’t going to distract people from the fact that the party hasn’t been able to find its ass with both hands for two years.

Repeated lies gain more strength over time, but luckily so do repeated truths.  As long as liars are relentless, so must honest people be.

And really, for those who represent us, it's their job regardless of the outcome.  So no, this isn't about winning or losing, although many Republicans would like us to think it is.

Your condemnation of Democrats is therefore a false equivalence in my opinion, likely borne of frustration with Republican obstruction.
