Three years after, Americans are more ok with events of January 6, 2021

Perhaps, time heals all wounds and maybe time to move on from this ?

Less than half of the voters in the Suffolk survey thought those who broke into the U.S. Capitol were criminals, a significant decline from the 70% who thought so in a poll conducted in the weeks following the riot. The number of people who thought rioters had a point rose from 24% in 2021 to 37% this year.

Scary.

The media can’t keep the fire stoked. Wait until Trump gets the nomination.

The GOP would have done well to move on from Jan 6th (and Trump) almost immediately. Yet, after 3 years of damage, here we are.

No need to keep hammering on this over and over again, from any side of the political spectrum.

It was a dumb riot and it’s over - punishments have been meted out.

I agree. But I think the GOP missed a huge opportunity to “right the ship” post Jan 6 and they didn’t.

Trust me part of the GOP wants to but need cover and no Jan 6th did not provide that opportunity. It only solidified their core nut base and you can’t win without the core.

In the SC they trust, but you will never hear it out loud.

They were definitely in the wrong. But Biden is going to get up there and commemorate “January 6th day” as the time that Western Civilization survived by the skin fo its teeth.

He’s going to look the fool to most people.

Nobody ever actually cared about this in the first place. It was lilly white libs on their computers screaming into the internet for months on end over it, fantasizing like they were super patriots defending 'mocracy from the safety of their keyboards. :rofl:

The GOP is not the group continuing to push Jan 6….

I’m surprised libs haven’t tried to make it a damn holiday.

Hell no! They tried to steal an election using violence and intimidation.

That wretched can needs to be tied to the GOP tail for at least a generation.

You sure? All they had to do was be like, “Yep, Jan 6 was a really bad thing and we’re moving on.” But did they do that? Nope. They pointed fingers and embraced conspiracy theories. Dems were always going to keep it alive, but the GOP fought tooth and nail defending what happened. And for what?

I’m pretty sure every one of us has said that a million times…

We’re not the ones who need tomorrow to be
National Insurrection Day forever and always,

You might wanna listen to that disgusting speech your boy Biden gave today…that senile corrupt creep with the aid of his shrinking group of supporters has nothing else to stand on…he’d happily remove the right of millions of Americans to vote for the candidate of their choice while puking out some nonsense about “saving democracy…”, all while moving to destroy it and solidify his own power.

The great unifier Biden just spent several minutes relabeling millions of us who oppose his pathetic attempt at being president as the MAGA opponents of America.

Oh that’s right, tomorrow is National Insurrection Day!

I wonder if it’s too late to get cupcakes?!

I’ll disagree with this specific statement at some level. The media whipped it into a frenzy at the outset and a lot of people cared.

But since then more details have been made known – details that disassemble the frenzied narrative.

The tide is turning on public opinion. I think more people are concerned about the weaponization of government, and the use of that for J6 “justice” really leaves a bad taste in many people’s mouths. And that’s reflected in polls like the one in the OP.

Agreed…

Thank you.

You mean, the media has softened the reality of The day.

I think it’s time to celebrate it as the best thing since the Boston Tea Party. Just because, ■■■■ em.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: and the party of gun rights did it unarmed. The dog caught the car and didn’t know what to do with it, just as I said the day it happened.
