Politics is an interesting thing. The people involved are always able to convince themselves that what they do will not have the opposite effect to their intentions. The January 6 special committee that Nancy Pelosi started earlier this week is no exception.
When their The 2022 election prospects are collapsing, The Democrats think they have found their backup. They will start an “investigation” on January 6, keep it in the news, and send politically active police to express their emotions, otherwise they will sell the whole thing to the American people. This will be a brilliant strategy to save them. They even let Liz Cheney and another “Republican” join in. What could go wrong?
Well, if there are any signs in the latest polls, it’s a lot of things.

Among voters of all political parties, 53% support the survey, down from 66% in the June survey and 58% a week ago. Four-fifths of Democrats support it, while only a quarter of Republicans and half of independents support it.
Why does the committee’s support rate continue to decline? I think the answer is obvious. Talking about January 6 will bring a lot of pressure from peers. People who dare to imply that this is not the worst attack on the country since the civil war are often ridiculed and called defenders, even if they hold a nuanced view of condemning these events. However, as the reality of the committee has become obvious to all-it is a propaganda stunt with no intention of investigating anything related-people have finally said enough.
What happened on the first day of the hearing was not newsworthy. A police officer named Harry Dunn tried to promote himself as an impartial observer, only to tell his story.He is over Lie directly to the incident January 6 without noticing He is an avid left-wing guerrilla. Those who are on the sidelines of whether to support the committee do not like this kind of thing.
Furthermore, no amount of fake crying can replace substantive investigation. Questions about security failure, including the failure of the USCP and its congressional leadership, are actually within the purview of Congress. However, Pelosi was not interested in exploring these topics and made sure that no Republicans would sit on the committee to promote this issue. Instead, she made sure that the committee was nothing more than a factory of accusations and campaign advertising.
Finally, many Americans are now sitting at home to deal with the effects of high inflation, economic lag, border crises, and blind COVID measures. They may not be too keen to see Congress wasting time on Adam Schiff ranting about things that are not important to any normal person’s life. The impression given by the entire committee is a deaf-mute appropriation of priorities.
When it comes to politics, when you ignore an issue and let Leroy Jenkins fall completely into partisanship, it will also breed a stronger polarization. In the first 66% approved by the committee, the number of Republicans cannot be ignored. They are now alienated by Pelosi’s antics. This is how you go from 66% to 53% in a month.
Democrats have two options. They can continue to try to put it on the ground, further weakening the support they have, and a disconnect in 2022, or they can quickly end the matter, issue a stern report, and declare victory. We will see what path they take, but neither will change their destiny.
