January 6th Hearing-Adjacent Discussion Thread

Replying to this post here:

My take away is that this shows I was right to spend so many years at least trying to get people to realize how full of shit Alex Jones and his ilk were/are. Long before all this QAnon/Stop the Steal nonsense began, I knew that wide-spread belief in conspiracy theories would be destructive to democracy. How can people vote sensibly if they believe complete nonsense? How many of the 40+% of people who never vote have dropped out because of a belief that “It’s all rigged!”?

These guys are the poster boys for why we need to rein in all that crap.
