Realizing too late that Americans don’t care about January 6th (alternative insights) - C C - Jan 7, 2025
Parody Alcove: But the most fundamental source of this apathy is that people don't regard the occupants of the Capitol as sacred to begin with. The latter are deemed corrupt pickpockets and opportunists. And they are groupies of "mad academicians". They give free rein to socioeconomic experiments being performed on the country's population, at the urging of humanities and soft-sciences pulpits.

CNN realizes two months too late that Americans don’t care about January 6th anymore
https://www.domigood.com/2025/01/cnn-realizes-two-months-too-late-that.html
EXCERPTS: CNN Anchor John Berman and data guru Harry Enten laid out the polling that proved, despite the repeated insistence of many Democrats and media talking heads, the American people just weren’t all that concerned with blaming President-elect Donald Trump for the Capitol riot.
[...] Enten began with the percentage of voters ... “If you go back, you know, four years ago, right? Trump’s role on January 6, 2021, should make him ineligible to be president, the clear majority of voters said yes, 56%,” Enten said, noting that they had also said he should be removed from office at that time.
“But of course, Donald Trump won the presidency, and part of the reason why was because views on Trump completely shifted, including Trump’s role on January 6,” he continued, noting that after three years had passed, the number of people who believed Trump should be ineligible for the presidency because of January 6th had fallen to 47%.
[...] Berman questioned the reason behind that shift, and Enten noted that over that same time period, the number of voters who primarily blamed Trump for the riot had also dropped from 48% to 37% by the time the election picked up.
[...] But the kicker, Enten said, was that fact that people just weren’t as focused on the riot as a major event: “It’s not just that. It’s that people, simply put, didn’t care as much about the attack on the Capitol.”
When asked whether January 6th was their “biggest memory of Trump’s first term in office,” only five percent said that it was in 2024. Among Republicans, that number was just two percent, according to Enten.
“So the bottom line is fewer Americans fault Donald Trump or thought he was greatly responsible for the January 6th attack. And more than that, as it went into the rearview mirror, far fewer folks thought that it was their number one memory,” Enten concluded.
“And this is an extraordinary number given that President Biden, when he was still in the election, was really putting this as his main issue,” Berman observed. “That never really was registering.” (MORE - missing details)

Well that's certainly the narrative this obscure alt right blog site wants to promote ("Dom Good"?) The thing about blaming Trump is that he does and says so many shitty things that people get exhausted being angry about it. Over time we are just numb to all the crap he has pulled, especially since he is always adding more and more to the list. People know he is sociopathic turd, so they don't even react to it much anymore. It doesn't mean they all approve. It just means the moral standards for Trump's conduct have become so ridiculously low that he gets away with just about anything, even egging on a government insurrection on live television.

### posted before I saw MR's post .. his is better but I'll leave mine anyway. ###
Remember this?
The Judge (not impressed) Wrote:..the 2014-2018 (financial statements) valued Aberdeen not only as if Donald Trump had permission to develop 2500 private year-round residences, which he did not, but also as if those residences had already been built,Didn't think so.
And this..
Quote:.. the ruling is a “political witch hunt”Even I remember that bit.

The facts are that Trump literally told people to remain peaceful. Over half the country, who elected him, know that, regardless of the leftist media scapegoating propaganda.
Trying to dodge that with a genetic fallacy about some "alt right blog" doesn't change the fact that the story is reporting what CNN said.
And what Trump's valuation of property has to do with that is anyone's guess. Just Gish gallop?
Every property owner inflates they're own valuation. That's called negotiation. And guess what? Every lender does its own due diligence. None of the lenders complained about his valuations. So that is literally a state-sponsored witch hunt with zero victims.
