as we were trying to like think through this, you know, this idea, this theory, it's like, so, so what does that do to people? Right. And it creates this stuckness, this, this like inability to look backward or to hold people accountable.

So, you know, with January 6th, it's like, Oh no, we realized that, you know, it's, it was just like a big false flag situation or it was a peaceful protest or it was whatever. Right. Our mind is made up. We're not going to go back. And so the January 6th, you know, committee commission was then framed.

It was either completely ignored by, you know, right wing media institutions, or it was framed as a bunch of democratic scolds who are obsessed with the past, who are hall monitors, who have Trump derangement syndrome, you know, blah, blah, blah.

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.
