I had hoped the first January 6 Committee’s report would be influential in getting people to understand how they have been duped by Trump and his sycophants. Only about 20 million watched on TV. How many more watched on social media or some later method is unknown. One estimate was another 10 for a total of maybe 30 million.

            Fox news didn’t cover it live or even play it all. Fox and other right wing media continued their idol worship of Trump and his lies about the election and his involvement in the insurrection.

            I am afraid if only 30 million saw it and the next six telecasts, are they only showing the evidence to those who already know what happened and who caused it? The similarity between Trump and Nixon is amazing and their crimes are much the same. Both had massive egos requiring them to have second terms. Both considered using the military to stay in power. Both tried to cover up their involvement.

            A fifth of the population watched the Watergate hearings while only nine percent may have watched hearings involving events much more dangerous to the American Democracy. The Republican Party supported Nixon for a while and then abandoned him. Maybe more Republicans will stop kowtowing to Trump and drop him. When 60 million start watching it is all over for Trump.
