And there's this inability to look back because all we're doing is looking forward towards the new barrage of evidence that makes us feel, you know, like comfortable in our beliefs. And I mean, the reason why we compared it to the nine 11 stuff is the nine 11 commission.

Obviously it wasn't like January 6th and nine 11 aren't completely analogous events, but they are both really visually intense attacks on, on the country. Um, The 9-11 commission, the report comes out. It's long. It's dense. It is a national bestseller for like four months. Like over a million copies are sold. Like you can go back and take a look at it.

It was a cultural event of people saying, let's get to the bottom of this thing. Let's look back at the history. Let's look at the way that this institution, Congress, investigated it and try to understand it.

Yeah, I'm not trying to say that any of these things are perfect on their own, but just the difference between a cultural desire to look back and investigate this versus what happened with January 6th. And you had a lot of people, I'm sure a lot of people who, you know, listen to this podcast, who watched the hearings, who are interested, who felt that accountability was right and necessary.

And I think it was. But there was also this huge gulf of people who didn't fall in the MAGA category, who didn't fall in the watching it on MSNBC category, who were also just like, I'm just trying to live my life. I'm barraged with information all the time. And I, you know, didn't really pay attention to it.

Like culturally, the two events are so different in the way that they were analyzed and received. And I think, you know, where I ultimately fall with it, and this is maybe where it could be a

In this world where we have this justification machine just constantly humming, where there's a barrage of evidence, it's really hard for the Democrats, say, to make the 2020 election a battle for the soul of the nation. It pins the hopes on something like January 6th being resonant four years later. And I think the way that information moves, the way these ecosystems move, it's not as resonant

as people might want it to be, right? History does not pull out as long as it used to. And I think that's just like a really brain scrambling thing to confront. It is.
