I kind of resent the January 6 hearings because I know with 100% certainty in my heart of hearts that NOTHING is going to come of them. There isn't going to be some dramatic third act climax where all the bad guys get their comeuppance and democracy is saved, roll credits! That's not going to happen. What IS going to happen is some small fish will get thrown under the bus and then turn against the big fish (too little, too late), and some medium fish will throw themselves under the bus to take one for the team and protect the big fish (never rat on your friends, the pay's too good), but none of the big fish will see a single fucking consequence for anything. There will be no arrests, no trials, no jail time, no slinking away into shame and obscurity. They will get off scot free and continue doing what they've done, but now with a tacit seal of approval, and things will continue to go downhill as the worst human beings take back the reins of government and punish everyone who tried to stand in their way. When Republicans want someone taken out, they just fucking take them out.
I think we all know this to be true. The hearings are largely for show because no amount of damning evidence hurts anyone anymore. Well, at least not in the long term; Democrats are quick to pop champagne because Madison Cawthorne lost his re-election bid, but they must know he's not really gone for good. He'll be back in 2024, either taking back his house seat, or gunning for senate or governor, and he's likely to win because he's more popular outside his district than in it. There's no infrastructure in place to punish all the bad guys and keep them out of politics forever, so the worst "fringe" nutjobs of today will be the mainstream leaders of tomorrow (the Republican party is all fringe at this point; it's survival of the craziest, a race to the bottom, they want to see who can act the most cruel and depraved of them all).
The January 6 conspirators are gonna get away with it, and they gonna retaliate tenfold. The hearings are important, but they feel meaningless because we KNOW the system is broken. Even if the DOJ came down hard on any of them, prosecution could be derailed by a transition of power in 2025, or a single juror sympathetic to their plot could decide to ignore all evidence and hang the trial on purpose to get them off. It's so easy for right-wingers to pack juries and courts in their favor, but left-wingers just never do that. It's only ever a kangaroo court when the conservatives are in charge, "you're guilty because we say so, and no amount of evidence to the contrary can change that."

Still not sure why the Jan 6 hearings don’t trend on Tumblr more often. You’d think politics tumblr would be all over them, and the rest of the site would be treating it like a soap opera…
