The Furor Around January 6 Is Just Democrats Artificially Extending the Life of Their Only Card Left to Play – Opinion

Democrats aren’t doing so well by any measure. Biden’s poll numbers are dropping like a rock tied to an anvil and the left has only cackled about the growing number of crises in our nation, including the rise in crime, border insecurity, and the ruination of the economy.

Bottom line, they’re headed into the midterms with no weapons, no ammo, and a dissipating number of troops. Democrats have one big gun left, and it’s been so overused it’ll be a wonder if it’s even effective.

During the 2020 elections, it was less about the left’s ideas and more about the fact that they weren’t Donald Trump, a person they had demonized every which way till Sunday. It’s a strategy that kind of, sort of worked, and how could it not have had some sort of effect? Trump was made to look the most evil person since Hitler by the left.

Trump is not here, so the Democrats are having a hard time convincing people to vote Democratic. That message was so important that the Democrats became an ideological party that hated Trump. They now need a strategy to reorient their lightning without a rod.

Oder do they?

Trump was used by the left to spread fear, discord and fear. Why not keep the story of possible fear, discord and violence going through the January 6th riot? This has been the smoking gun for Republicans and their idea that they pose a threat to the republic.

With this January 6 committee in action, it’s all over the news now.

Liz Cheney is shouting from her soapbox that the Jan 6 riot was a “supreme dereliction” of his duty in office. Adam Schiff, on the other hand, is modifying text messages sent by Rep. Jim Jordan from Ohio to Mark Meadows. All in all, however, the committee just isn’t having the effect Democrats hoped it would with a serious lack of fat for the media to chew on.

There’s nothing damning. In fact, it’s only making the right look better as many Republicans at the forefront are having it shown that they encouraged Trump to stop the riots with a statement.

The Trump-apologists are trying to make Republicans look like Trumps. This strategy is falling apart. What will Democrats do if this strategy fails?

This is the moment when it becomes clear that there’s no answer. Trump isn’t here (though Americans are increasingly wishing he was) and while many Republicans were Trump supporters, it’s hard to nail them with the narratives they tried to put on Trump when there’s solid proof they were only not responsible but also trying to halt it.

The age of “orange man bad” is dead, and Democrats can try to artificially extend its life all they want, but it won’t bring it back to life.
