Jan 6 leftest 'Democracy in Peril' drama fizzles as midterm issue
[The Hill] Threats to U.S. democracy highlighted by the House Jan. 6 select committee’s blockbuster hearings are fizzling as a midterm election issue, drowned out by inflation and other economic concerns that appear to be driving voters in the final weeks of the campaign.

While the committee examining the 2021 Capitol attack has made a convincing case that the American experiment is a fragile one — and is sounding dire warnings that the foundational threat remains very much alive — the message is being overshadowed by more immediate economic anxieties, according to a series of recent national polls.

The trend threatens to undermine Democratic efforts to make former President Trump — and his ongoing bid to overturn the 2020 election results — a political liability for Republican candidates in races coast to coast. And that, in turn, spells bad news for Democrats fighting to retain razor-thin majorities in both the House and Senate, helping to keep President Biden’s approval rating underwater while lending an eleventh-hour boost to Republicans eyeing a return to power.

The late-cycle dynamics have exasperated Democratic leaders and investigators on the Jan. 6 committee, who are warning of an existential threat to democracy if the same Republicans who voted to keep Trump in power take the reins of Congress. Still, the uphill battle hasn’t stopped those Trump critics from amplifying their case in the home stretch.

#1 Yes, this is just yet another "we hate the American people" project from our elites.

And gosh, they're not wrong. They are correctly identifying us as a threat to their power. Even if we do win in November, they're going to use the unelected government and intelligence agencies to cut our tendons and stop us from using our power to investigate their crimes.

So the Democrat's Witch Hunt has failed and at the cost of $10+ Million Taxpayer Dollars.

So now, IF the 2023 elections are honestly conducted, the question we should be asking is:
How will the LSD DC Junta react to the results?

Will they go for a total lockdown with some new pre-written National Emergency issue (Nuke War pending, CDC Discovery, FBI/DOJ uncovered DC Assassination Group).

Or will they have their radical groups stage a violent nationwide Jan 6th?

2023 is likely the election that restores this "Constitutional Republic" or breaks it.

#3 2021 Capitol attack has made a convincing case

You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

#5 If there was any justice in this world, everyone that ran and supported this kangaroo court would be arrested after the mid-terms, tried and hung for crimes against humanity.

But expect most to get lucrative book deals instead.

#6 OR not so lucrative:
CoriBush’s debut book sells just 729 copies in first week

#7 Thank-you LG.
I was thinking of when their pro-american replacements (if allowed) are to take office.

Imagine how sad - or bribe entwined - someone must be to even buy a copy of that, let alone put it on their coffee table.

#9 I regularly see the acronym "LSD" used here on this site, and only this site. Can someone please tell me what that means in the context that it is being used?

Thank You!

#10 I'd be happy to see them, and their supporters, exchange places with the Jan 6th protesters they imprisoned without due process - for about 20 years.
Same conditions, same beatings, same communication blackout.

#11 LSD = Liberal Socialist Democrats.
Since the Democrat party now consists of about 32% Far Left Liberals and Socialists (Bernie voters) and 68% Democrats or a combination of both that make up the DNC voter base.

The acronym LSD also kinda explains their way of thinking in a left-handed way.

#12 What CrazyFool said. I'd take it even further. Ensure the Dems can't rise again.

#13 I for one wish I was a constitutional lawyer for a hole after the election

Imagine the lawsuits for false imprisonment and illegal confinement
