The January 6th insurrection incited by Donald Trump was an unprecedented assault on American democracy. And now that the House Select Committee investigating the deadly Capitol Hill riots has held the first two sessions of its hearings, there is concrete evidence that the public is paying attention and is appropriately disgusted by Trump’s criminal and treasonous malfeasance.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

A new Politico\/Morning Consult poll has found that the American people’s opinion of the attack on Congress by the StormTrumpers is already taking a decidedly anti-Trump turn. The Committee is doing an effective job of presenting the abundant evidence of Trump’s purposeful lying about election fraud, and his fleecing of his gullible cult followers with solicitations for his so-called “Election Defense Fund”<\/em> that doesn’t actually exist.<\/p>\n

RELATED: Trump\u2019s \u2018Big Ripoff\u2019 is Also Revealed in the January 6th Committee\u2019s Probe of His \u2018Big Lie\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result of the revelations produced in just the first two sessions, Trump and the Republican Party are taking a severe hit to the gut. Mediaite reports<\/a><\/strong> that…<\/p>\n

“In a poll taken after last week\u2019s Jan. 6 hearing, a whopping 69 percent of Americans [say] it is a ‘crime’ to try and overturn election results, and similar numbers say the Justice Department should prosecute.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When asked if “misleading Americans about the outcome of an election”<\/em> is a crime, a massive majority of 69% said definitely\/probably “Yes,”<\/em> including 59% of Republicans. The same question on “officials attempting to overturn the results of an American election,”<\/em> returned the same 69% affirmative, including 54% of Republicans.<\/p>\n

The numbers were almost identical when respondents were asked whether “the Department of Justice should bring legal action against”<\/em> the elected officials engaging in the crimes identified above.<\/p>\n

For his part, Trump is clearly having a bad day. He has posted on his failing TRUTH Social Twitter clone website<\/a><\/strong> some truly bizarre rants. Such as<\/a>…<\/p>\n

“Word out that the reason the Unselects have canceled Wednesday\u2019s Kangaroo Court is a total lack of interest leading to very poor television ratings. Could this be so? Maybe they should try getting a more talented Hollywood producer than the former President of ABC Fake News. He didn\u2019t do so well!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What Trump is referring to is that the Committee’s session for Wednesday has been postponed – not canceled. And the reason has nothing to do with a “lack of interest.”<\/em> In fact, the first hearing that was held in primetime on Thursday drew more than 20 million viewers, which is twice what game three of the NBA Finals did. And MSNBC even beat Fox News, who refused to cover that hearing live<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MSNBC also shined during Monday’s hearings<\/a><\/strong>, beating Fox News and CNN combined. And while the Monday session was not in primetime, it still garnered about 10 million total viewers across several networks. Nevertheless, Trump threw an infantile tantrum<\/a> whining that…<\/p>\n

\u201cThe T.V. Ratings for the January 6th Unselect Committee were absolutely awful. Perhaps the reason is that it is being ‘sponsored’ by Adam ‘Shifty’ Schitt and the same people that brought you the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX, and that the Unselects are not interested in hearing from anyone saying the Election was Rigged and Stolen, despite the EVIDENCE being irrefutable!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? Adam “Schitt”<\/em>? Has Trump ever advanced past the emotional maturity of a six year old, or is he regressing? And are his Deplorables really dense enough to believe his easily debunked lie about the “absolutely awful”<\/em> ratings? Apparently so, After all, they believe his pitiful wailing about the “Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX,”<\/em> that is well documented. And that’s even after Tucker Carlson inadvertently conceded that it was never a hoax to begin with.<\/p>\n

Sadly, for some time to come, the nation is going to have to deal with the deeply psychotic distortions of reality that Trump and his disciples are infected with. Hopefully they will either find a a way back to some sense of sanity, or crawl back under their rocks and stop spreading their diseased, dystopian fantasies.<\/p>\n
